A working guitarist may have out-rigged even the best of the forum.... Mayer content!

Has anyone seen Josh Klinghoffer from the Chillis
(The best bit is his Guitar tech. If I was doing that size of show I would want Ian)

Even with all his money Edge uses (at least) 3 Boss pedals, great photo!

Cool to see a mega setup like that thanks @Norwegian_Blue ;

I don't like his music and he comes across as a bit of a smarmy plug when interviewed but if anyone is going to need a decent rig it is a pro player who has made a decent chunk of change from writing and performing music such as him.  He has more need and justification than most.

That almost sounds reasoned and sensible.

You're new here aren't you?

So. Does he have is Metal Zone to the side on its own?

If I was someone like Mayer I'd have a Metalzone on my board, just to fuck with TGP. 

I'd maybe even double down and have the guts of something else put inside it just to really blow some minds.

I don't get the hate. Take away the massive controller and a few of the things designed to make the whole thing reliable on a world tour and you've got something no more complicated than some of the bigger boards here. I guarantee, nobody here who gigs has an audience who can tell you use half the different effects you do.

Yes, it's expensive, won't fit in an estate car and is a bit overkill for your covers gig at the Dog and Doughnut, but that's not what it's for. If something goes wrong down at the pub you can stop for ten minutes, dash out to the van for your bag of spare bits and fix it yourself, but I can't imagine John boy's going to have that luxury next week at Madison Square Gardens.

Or maybe he will, but it's a bloody long way to the van.

his rhythm guitarist has other ideas:
I think it's David Ryan Harris

^ Wait. Where's the rug?

I really enjoy these pictures of big FX rigs.

They appeal to the OCD side of me - I'd love to build something that size and make it as neat as possible.

Good for mayer I say - he's got the money to do it and there's obviously he's got a reason to do so.

I've never actually hear a record of his though. All I know is he was dating that Rachel lass from friends and Katy Perry.

Maybe the rug is just for the acoustics and trio bits, or something?

One thing I have noticed is that almost every clip I've seen from his tour so far he's been playing a Strat. I though he was a PRS guy now?
