Hello Hello Everybody--
O.K., here's something for all of you people who play in a band situation.
What guitar and amp and fuzzboz set-up do you use in yer band??
[Also, how noisey is yer rig when the pedal is kicked in??]
What I've been using lately is:
Marshall 50-watt [older late 60's and early 70's tops] with either a 2-12" or 4-12 Celestion spkrs and Vox-type 30-watt class-A EL-84 amp and either 1-12" or 2-12" Celestions.
Various Gibson and Fender guitars [and Hamer!] for different sounds.
Vox '67 Tonebender [semi-noisey], Tonebender MK II [semi-noisier at high settings!] , various DIY TB's and Fuzz Faces [ not too bad], various
4-tranny TB-style circuits [noisiest!], Rangemaster germ and silicon pedals[not too noisey].
Anyway, I play LOUD!
How about everybody else??
Brian.
My rig is as follows for normal, guitar/fuzz/amp:
Les Paul Custom with hums OR Les Paul Gold Top w/P-90s (depending on song)
into:
LPB feeding opamp big muff
into:
'65 Blackface Bassman, bridged channels, both on about 4
Love It!
Good Topic;
For me-My homemade Tele with Joe Bardens and a S.Duncan Alnico pro strat middle pickup strung with 11's into either a Tubeworks Smooth overdrive or a DS-1 both modded with help from here. Into an old MXR ACpowered flanger and a Zoom 507 reverb Delay goin to my much modded Fender 75 head with 2- 1X10 cabs with reissue Jensen C10's.Loudness depends on the familys tolerance level as I rarely play out anymore.If they file a noise petition I breakout the 91 Gibson AJ or an old Harmony Soverign cause everyone digs some John Hurt or Doc Watson.
my rig is as follows:
fender strat with sperzels, 7 way combo switch
fender tele, stock
1967 fender coronado hollowbody guitar (sweet!)
this runs into a boss DD-5 delay with tap tempo.
one side goes to a boss sd-1 and
a danelectro daddy-O pedal, then to an a/b box which goes
to a volume pedal.
the other side of the delay goes to an rp-7 for all of my
modulations.....tremelos, verbs etc. and then goes to
a son of screamer, and then to the a/b box....
this way i can switch between my modulations and
overdrives smoothly.
this goes into a SOVTEK Mig 50 tube amp which drives
a pair of 10's in a an old fender open backed cab.
Hey Brian,
Good thread!
I haven't played in a band situation forever, hell I can't remember the last jam I was at. :) Although, when my honey is out I crank to gig levels in the basement.
My usual set-up is my '79 LP Deluxe into a homebrew MXR Phase 45 w/LERA mod, into an MXR Distortion II, into my homebrew JTM45-ish amp or mini-Marshall November amp into a Marshall 1965B 4x10 cab.
I've built a whack of fuzzes and distortions and nothing sounds better to me than the Distortion II. Perhaps I should just stop dinking with distortion builds and muck around with my greatest love - phasers! :)
Take care!
Jim
i dont have alot of gear, but the stuff i have ( amp-wise neways ) is all good stuff. my gear is;
1. left-handed westfield strat copy ( i know dont laugh )
2. morley prowah ( $35 on ebay, bargain :lol:)
3. line 6 spider 2 2-12 amp ( it has never done anything bad noise wise only good comes from my baby :lol:)
i know its pretty bad ( verging on the worst ) but ill be getting a highway 1 strat honney blonde (left-handed) soon so then it wont be so bad. i think that its better to have a good sound, but a good playing guitar is also a bonus :D

We play loud too. I'm a bass player, but it doesn't keep me from using pedals. Some may scoff at my Peavey rigg, and it does look like it's gone to 7734 and back, but it does sound good. :wink:
I do also have a 2 Kustom 2x15 cabs and K200 head from the 60's that I like using, but I blew my speakers a couple of months back, and haven't had the time to get replacements.
gear list:
Peavey Data Bass (300watts) slaved to
'79 Peavey Mark III head (300 watts)
Peavey 18" Black Widow PA bass cab
Various fuzz and dis boxes for Jack Bruce tones

what a great topic! sooo gooofy....i love it. i'm back into gear geek mode, thanks to to diy pedals.....here's my current run-down:
my main guitar is an epiphone casino w/seymour p-90s. options are a les paul dc w/p-90s and an epiphone riviera...still don't like the mini-humbuckers, though.
effects :D first the boss od3, then the dyna-comp (on most of the time), and a rat for leads. this goes into a eball volume pedal w/tuner out. next comes the ibanez chorus, stereo out, and a boss super phaser and tremelo pan. last is the line6 delay....used to be a dan-echo. i like having two distortions BEFORE my volume pedal, so's i can get ridiculous feedback and noise but layer it at a very low volume...ala jesus&marychain or red house painters.
for amps, my small club amp is a blackface princeton w/12in celestion. :)
big club amp is a blackface pro reverb (or both). :x
very big club (or hall) setup is a 50w hiwatt w/2-12 celestions :twisted:
and the fender pro reverb. it took a long time to figure out that the reverb channel on blackface fenders is usually wired out-of-phase! so for stereo, i now use the normal channel on that amp. i'm crazy about celestion vintage thirties and seymour p-90s. am i geeky enough? i can be a little obsessive at times.....all in all, my rig is fairly quiet. unless i turn all the crazy shit on. thanks, jon

When I play solo shows, I use a MIM tele -> fuzz face -> big muff pi -> solid-state fender amp (frontman 25)... so I can play extra tracks through the RCA inputs on the amp while I play! :)
At home I use all the fun stuff, there's no way I'm going to bring my nice guitar and amps and effects to some gig where they'll get ruined and the soundman will turn the vocals way down and destroy everything above 7khz...

my custom f-100 gnl is wired in stereo to use my guitar w/ the vg88 v.2 and/or my fx. it's put into a mixer, then i use a carvin 2000w-rms amp to get my point across. :twisted:
sorry.....live, i'm heavy handed.
but , i use the same set up for jamming w/ the band 8)
sick and loving it,

Live it's my 91 Gibson V (there ya go Brian!) with original late-50's PAF's, a 62 strat, or a 59 Les Paul Junior, into a 72 stock 50 watt Marshall halfstack or 62 JMI AC30, or an Orange 120 top...250 Ms of delay from the house...straight in mostly, but occasionally you may see a Derangemaster Trouble Booster, an old Italian Vox wah, an ADA flanger, or a home-made preamp booster of my own design...the leslie 122 is too heavy so that stays home now...:)
In the studio you'll find tons of classic vintage pedals (NO tube screamers though) , and tons of semi-clones and offshoots, too many to mention, but big favorites are: Colorsound Overdriver, Hawk II booster, Orange Squeezer, Hotcake, Jet Phaser, Univibe, and of course my favorite effect, Vicodin...
Strangely enough, since I've gotten into DIY, I now take a lot less pedals to gigs. I used to use a Dyna-Comp, TS9, GT2, RAT II and BD2 for gain effects. Now I just take my Orange Squeezer, Rangemaster and Mosfet Boost and use the *Marshall* channel of my amp for OD.

The other guitar player in my band uses an Epi Flying V and a G&L Tele with Bardens into a Peavey Classic 50 with just a Boss DD5 and an Ibanez DE7 (? chorus flanger thingy) and sounds awesome.

Hullo Ammscray--
Yeah, I heard you traded him a Guild hollow-bodied Sonex [with a rare chipboard body] for that V!
B.
Hullo Hungreyhippie-
There was a Concord amp here in town [Austin} a while back at this store that I did repairs for [One World Music, now defunct..] I almost snagged it for pretty cheap [$300 or so..] Did you do any mods on yours??
Brian.
hello, If you get the chance get one, its a no frills amp just sound, the treble and bass don’t really do that much but that’s not a worry the louder it goes the better it sounds and with a range master in front of it, its awesome. No I haven’t modded it at all, it’s just the way it’s all ways been. But you know what they say " If it aint broke............"
Guitars:
'75 Gibson SG2 (complete with LP pickguard and Bigsby tremelo), originally cherry but now very worn
'78 Yamaha SG2000S, cherry sunburst

Amp:
Trace Elliot Speed Twin 100W 2x12
Fx:
Marshall Guvnor (original 5 knob model)
Ibanez TS-9 (modified as TS-808 and with red/green leds for the clipping diodes)
Ibanez TS-9DX (modified similarly)
Boss BD-2 (modified)
Boss OD-2
Boss CE-2 chorus
Digitech RP-7 multi-fx board in the amp's fx loop for echo/reverb
My live set-up connsists of
Guitar -> boss NS-2 Noise suppressor (Loop -> DOD FX-25 autowah -> loop return) -> Dual Rectifier (Loop -> digital delay -> return).
Pretty simple. Low maintence and kind of fool proof.
For guitars I have a Jackson PS-3t (tuned dropped B), a Jackson Kelly (Also Dropped B), a Schecter Omen 6 (Dropped D), and a guitar I just beat up and experiment on (Tuned to the fancy of the day).
My live setup is a little different:
10 Viewlex LumenMasters 500W with dial slide tray mods
USN Training Center Overhead projector modified to ENX lamp
4 Kodak Ektagraphic AF-2s
2 USAF Bell&Howell 16mm Analyzer projectors
Assorted misc. 35mm slide projectors
Full set of liquid dishes
Big selection of crystal
transparancies
Hundreds of handmade 35mm slides
Color wheels
Strobe wheels
Effect wheels
Assorted HeNe lasers
125mw Argon laser
As you may have guessed, I'm from the lightshow. ;)
Take care,

well, my 'rig' if you will, is this:
Various Ibanez guitars, an austin strat copy.
The Ibanez are an rg170 with stock bridge and neck pups, and a single coil mid tha i switched from the another ibz, a stagestar. the austin is crap. pure and utter crap. i hate it, but sometimes you need that sound.
i run those into (currently) a modified DOD grunge (taped over the name on the box, now reads FLASH! l337 p3|)4l!, because i put in some better IMHO, components), a dunlop wah, a Big Muff (added some 2n7000's with the 2n5089s, whoa...) and a chorus.
all those go into a 150w(i think...) peavey renown 212 scorpion equipped ss amp. fairly quiet unless i kick in all the ODs and fuzzes through my wah.
12stringstratmaker,
I am curious what mods you did to your GE-7 for clarity and response? I've got one that could use the same.
Thanks, Jered

Are people listing their gear collections or their live setups?
I'd have two very different lists....
Roger
I listed my entire collection of guitar gear. Live, it could be any of it, at anytime. The two 'live' effect constants are the dual mos booster and the SD-1. The rest rotates. I need to construct a pedalboard to take more of it at a time, and more time to do it.
Regards

I went with live setup, it makes more sense.
It's the hard earned setup that works for you to please the crowds of screaming fans

AMPS
Marshall MkII 50w Master Lead plexi re-issue
Dyna ST70 [Stereo 70}, interesting point is each channel's 7199 [like VOX Amp] ''linebooster' tubes, and 2X EL34 per channel output. IMO the A440 Irons are the Beez Kneez.
By intentionally mis-biasing the ST70 [one side] and heavily loading the output [putting a 'disposable' EL34 there], I get Skwaulsch Octave and Creamy/Chrunch sustains as the tube literally frys to its demise. The effect is really quite spectacular, and is best used in a Gaunge Groove peak. Coniaseurres of efkt lore commets like "what the heck is THAT' happened. The tube starts off normally enough, then begins turning orange over a larger area of the plate 'n such, that's when the creamy harmonics come out, after that, the octave effect comes in and out depending on amplituce and pitch [at least]. Dont' try this without supervision or you're on your own...lol. oops I only use the MkII live.

___________________________________ Notes...
I use only' [lol] four Booster/Fuzzes at one time, but switch them out during the gig. This keeps things easier to keep track of and less cluttered. I like to run a boost into my booster sometimes.
The Art verb is on the whole time for 'general' reverbs, the RV-3 does long echo cameo appearances only.

For bedroom stuff I use the Dyna Amp and 2x12's that used to sound good loud, Jez Fine for bedroom now...
