Anyone want to be a guitar nerd and join me to see who's got what for equipment?

Head: Peavey 5150-II
Cab: Peavey 5150
Rackmount: Rocktrock Super Hush C & BBE Sonic Maximizer

Anyone have any ideas of what I should add to my rack? I'm planning on getting a Korg tuner for it, possibly a wireless system, and possibly a compression unit.

there is already a gear thread:

Rusted Angel, just what is a REAL wireless????

one that isn't under $500

lol i got mine $100 used. you're talking about somethin like a Shure ULX wireless which runs for like $600. there is one wireless that Sennheiser made but stop production (i have no idea why) that was an all digital wireless and only cost $300

you don't need a wireless unless you're going to do flips off the stage. it's funny seeing people with a wireless who don't move more than 10 feet from their amp.

ascendancy takes full advantage of a wireless system and leaves the club.

When I pick my wireless unit up it feels pretty real. It looks real when I use it at shows too, hmm. ($240)

i don't go as far as leaving the club, but with a wireless i have the freedom to move all over the stage and not worry about getting tangled in chords and such. and i'l probably get in the crowd once in a while too

Hahahahaha.

Dom's wit is that of a fox (wait, foxes are witty, right?)

having a wireless helps when you dont need a cord pulling down your volume pedal by accident (if you have one), and its fun moving around to (gasp) the other side of the stage.

B.C. Rich warlock (not a real one just the nj series)

You should.

i used someone's wireless for my bass at a show once and i liked it, even though i really don't move around much. it's definitely not necessary for me, but i wouldn't mind having it.

i hate wires, i need more money

guitar:
jackson dxmg
epiphone g310

peavey 5150II 120w head
behringer 4x12 cab w/ jensen speakers
boss noise suppressor pedal
korg rackmount tuner (planning on buying some more rack gear soon)

ahaha i dont even know why i bothered to post that.

DeOdiumMortis said:


can you guys even hear anything when u go outside? plus i don't know how good of a reception i'd get since i don't have a top quality wireless, but i'll give it a shot

this is my updated rig as of today...
but its actually a OC-3... and the grind pedal is gonna go bye bye.
and within the week the headrush will probably be replaced by a new weapon as well...
there will be another addition to my line soon... secret weapon.

I probably wont bring all this on the road for away games though...
space is limited.

Whoa! Phantos, what little program did you use to do that diagram?? That could provide hours and hours of fun!

http://www.guitargeek.com - then c-n-p it into your needs.

Wait, I don't get how to do this.

copy and paste pictures of guitar players gear that is your own.

Depending on the thickness of the wall and the distance and direction from the stage, usually we can hear fairly well, sometimes just barely. We both have base model Shure wireless units, ~$250 and the range is decent through said walls, etc. Only one way to find out how far you can get with yours.

Guitars:
eppiphone les paul custom quilt top
ibanez rg 370
reformed 1960 hondo refinished, replaced with some gibson pickups]
recently sold bc Rich mocking bird

Amp:
trace elliot grp3 tube hybrid amplifier
roctron hush II
boss 7 EQ
boss tuner
boss mt-2 metal zone - used for noise tones (rarely)
dunlop crybaby wah (rarely used)
2 behringer 4x12s housing jensons (recently only using one)
phase linear dynamic EQ/ noise reduction

I was considering getting a sonic maximizer but I think this old ass phase linear rack mount is doing me good, anyone had any up front experience with one.... what did it add?... more crisp more low end

I need roughly $2,000 for new gear, I'm getting there though, yah.

My eqpt is listed on our website, but as a recap I play a Gibson 1970ish SG standard (discontinued - notice the p90s if you see pics, which are also on the website under the Bios section) into a Lab Series (gibson's short lived amp company) L3 60w preamp then a Marlboro 150W Stereo Power Amp into a 4x12 Ampeg and a 4x12 Ultrastack Behringer. I don't use effects at all except the spring reverb on the head for color and a Rat pedal to overdrive.

so to recap:

1970 Gibson SG standard
ProCo Rat distortion pedal
Lab Series L3 60w head
Marlboro 150W Stereo Power amp
Ampeg 4x12 cabinet
Behringer Ultrastack 4x12 surround sound cabinet

obviously the Ampeg isn't very loud, it's just there to color the sound. makes a good monitor, too.

whoa Phantos...I don't like all the effects but man...I envy your amps with the Morley AB...that's what I want to do for my rig. What's the first head from left to right? The second is a Red Bear?

Sunn Beta Lead (ss) and Red Bear MK120 (russian point to point tube)

I have also been known to use a Randall RBh120 bass head.
we are kinda loud... but aren't we all.

phantos you use a sunn amp? how is it? i plan on picking up one cause im so sick of the guitar tone everyone else has. i found a nice sunn head at rockcity in somerville.
