You Choose One Rig To Play For The Rest Of Your Life

[DirtySteve]

Today I would choose this, my Li'l Devil and my P90 Tele...

 

[Derek S]

I've landed at my "life long" rig/gear as there has been zero itch to change anything for years now. I may add, but these amps, with these speaker cabs and few guitars deliver the tones I've always dreamed of having.

And yep, my 30W vintage ('76) speakers are a VITAL aspect of the rig!

Ahh, good catch, I only read the first part of the OP and saw "rig" lol which can include several toys, my mistake!

I guess if I HAD to go with one-zeez each, it'd be the Suhr, the Bogner and the '71 cab (on the left pictured here)...which has the G12H25 Greenies, which are more versatile overall than the blackbacks (which I prefer for recording, they're more of a one trick pony though, but oooh it's pretty much a holy grail trick haha)!

 

[Vinsanitizer]

I think I have too much gear again, but at least it only needs one room instead of the three I needed before I "downsized". There's a lot of versatility here which keeps me from getting bored. It's all the gear I'm going to own at this point, it's more than I truly need.

[EL 34]

I love my 1987, 2203x, 2555x and 1959RR equally. They all bring a different mojo. It's like picking your favorite kid.

As for guitars...my R7 LP followed closely by my Thurston Moore Jazzmaster.

Pedals are dunlop clyde wah, boosta grande and ditto looper. I havent tried but would like the torpedo live 2 notes for attenuation.

 

[Ghostman]

Like Steve, I'd have to go with my GR amp. Goes tasty with my Schecter.

However, I'm sure there's a setup out there in the world, I haven't played through.

 

[dptone5]

3 Tone American Deluxe Strat with EVH Humbucker and Kinman Fat 50 Impersonators

Tuner, Xotic BB Preamp and MXR Carbon Copy for the Loop

Marshall JCM 800 2203X

Marshall 1960BX Cab with 25 Watt Greenbacks

That would be it for me.

[Jethro Rocker]

JVM410H.
My Traynor 4x12 cab.
My Goya L6-S copy for sentimental reasons.
For playing reasons, the Mockingbird.

 

[chiliphil1]

Well, initially I would say my current rig.

Kemper, Mesa 2x12 g12k100’s, and my paul but since the rules changed I’d have to say 2203x, SD-1, cry baby, and tuner into a 1960a. Still the Paul most likely, I like my strat a little better but I need buckers.

 

[CoyotesGator]

My 6G3 clone and a 1X12 extension cab, Telecaster, and a nice compressor.

 

[liontato]

My 62 Strat and 67 Black Face Pro Reverb with my 1981 TS-9 tube screamer View attachment 45345

Incredible rig TS! Let us hear some day when you get time.

Thanks. you can hear the Strat with my 68 Marshall Cranked in the MY MUSIC link bellow

 

[bullhead]

I played an EVH 5150 IIIS EL34 100-watt half stack today for about 45 minutes and I was blown away. Definitely my next purchase after my Dean is built.

3 pedals would be an MXR Phase 90, Maxon Chorus and a Dunlop EVH Wah.

So my rig would be that and my Dean.

 

[Kinkless Tetrode]

It would be the 50 watt 2553 small box Silver Jubilee head through a green back loaded 2x12 cab for me. Guitar would be my swamp ash HSS strat. That would give me everything I really need and want, and it would be relatively easy to transport. Looks good too.

 

[jmp45]

Tough call. My 69 Small Box 1987 or SLP with the small check 60a late 70s cab with black backs. Guitar? Can't decide, right now this moment my Parker.

 

[tschrama]

Randall RM4 preamp, RT50-2 power amp, hardtail strat with bridge humbucker, ordinary 4x12 with V30s

 

[JLBIII]

My '76 LPC purchased new and '83 JCM 800 2204 head with '84 JCM 800 A & B cabs. Lot of sentiment with all the items.

 

[royslead]

My Mesa Mark V, a vertical 2x12 with V30's, Hardwire DL-8, Boss CH-1, probably the MXR 10 band eq (for further tone shaping), Boss RC3 Looper, and my Carvin ST300 guitar.

Realizing this could be my forever rig (I already have all of it), makes me wonder why I keep all the other stuff.
