Here's a wide shot of the soundmaking part of the rig. Nice and simple and compact. And a little bass amp for when the mood strikes. We'll get into more detail below.
The fun part! There's a few recent additions here. My lovely bandmates were kind enough to get me the pitchfork for my birthday (even though I'm the drummer!). Super fun pedal, and very versatile. Actually find myself mostly using it on the detune mode as a chorus pedal.
Next to that is a pedal I just got today. It's a dual pedal (duh). The right side is a triangle muff with a mid-cut knob and a three-way switch to select clipping mode (germanium, silicon, led). The left side is an overdrive modeled on a Dumble sound. Vol, Gain, "Depth" (bass) and "Presence" (high mids) knobs. The middle footswitch controls which pedal feeds into the other. Very handy.
Next to that is another pedal I got today from the same builder. Basic Tonebender clone with vol, gain, tone, and a bass boost. Sounds awesome.
Next to that is the Mooer Ana Echo, my old faithful. Boss DM-2 clone, and a mighty good one at that. It's been on every board I've ever had and it always will be.
Next to that is a ditto looper. Self-explanatory.
Give me coily cables or give me death.
Phew, that was a marathon. Here's the amp situation. 1x12 mesa cab with a v30. Sounds great. Topped by a Quilter ToneBlock 200. Really rich and meaty solid state sound, with a nice little bit of crunch with the gain set high, which is how I leave it.
Running into the front of it is a TC Skysurfer from that new low-budget analog TC range. It's basically an EHX Holy Grail. I love it.
Extra stuff! All of this goes in and out of the rig depending on my mood. Ask below if you want specifics!
The Living Room Gang in bed.
This is Cheryl, named after Cheryl Blossom, from Archie comics. From what I understand, it is a relatively rare Korean Danelectro from the 90s. Being the irreverent little shit that I am, I chiseled out a hole and shoved a Lace red/red dually in there, Johnny Greenwood style. My sentimental favourite, and will always be a part of my rig.
Meet Jack, my modified Epiphone Wilshire. Tossed a Rose Humbucker-sized P90 in the bridge, routed out for a Jazzmaster vibrato, and made a custom pickguard to cover the now-empty neck pickup hole. Vole, Tone, Killswitch. Just how I like it.
Say hello to Veronica, named after Veronica Lodge from Archie comics. The Epi Goth Thunderbird my buddy played in our high school band, with a new bridge, knobs, and pickguard/truss cover made out of a purple record. Tuned to drop C.
Revel in the glory that is Archie, my pride and joy, named after Archie Andrews from Archie comics (but I hope you figured that out for yourself). Picked up on Craiglist for $400, Archie is an early-70s Tomson SPLENDOR SERIES Mustang clone. Sounds amazing, plays amazing, which is good because every single screw is stuck in and stripped, so no parts are coming off, even if I want them to. Action high, .13-guage strings, tuned to drop C (24"scale). I almost exclusively use the bridge pickup, oddly enough.
And of course Alice. He sits on my apartment practice kit, which I will eventually make a thread about in the drum section. Alice is my mascot.
This is my old bronco bass, still my favorite bass ever. $90 on craigslist, with a $30 GFS 'Tron guitar pickup in it.
Last but not least: my World Cup mandolin.
My favourite player. Go Croatia!!
I've got some more stuff scattered around at various places, including a very cool double-cut tele, but that will ahve to wait for another day. I hope you enjoyed! Looking forward to seeing what you've got!
