Which artists rig do you dream to own?

personally it’s John Petrucci’s rig

I’m a Mesa fanboy and his tone with the Mark series amps is perfect.

What's the Cry Baby thing, some sort of programmable wah?

Stevepage · January 2021

Yeah custom rack Wah. I think you get a few different sounding wahs instead of being stuck with one. Plus you can connect multiple foot pedals to the same rack unit to spread them out on stage.

I’d have to say The Edge or Jonny Buckland, or maybe the War on Drugs guy

Haych · January 2021

Probably Alex Lifeson’s, just so I can try to figure out how it all works!

Second to that, John Petrucci, again so I can figure out how it all works. I actually don’t like DT all that much.

A cliche for me - but it has to be Lukather’s current Helios and Pedalboard rig.

After hearing (and feeling it!!) up close at sound check it’s one hell of a set-up - would have loved to have 10 minutes to play through it...

Bonamassa.
I'd sell everything, buy a nice house and a few cool guitars and amps.

Holy crap that's a lot of buttons. I'd be nowhere near up to the task of finding my sound in a rig like that.

Who's rig would I like? No idea actually. Anyone (else) who likes to play a vintage sounding Strat straight in to a really pissed off 5e3 I guess

Gotta say, I'd be reasonably happy with the rack sitting behind Nuno here...

If I could get away with the volume, EJ’s rig would be fun. I’m guessing those Twins and 4x12s don’t leave much paint on the walls.

+1 to Bonamassa’s...surely we’d all want to say we’ve played a Burst through a Dumble once?

I'm with you, Brother

For simplicity, Don Felder's rig when I saw him in Sept'19. A couple of Fender Deluxe Reverbs (looked like DRRIs rather than the hand-wired ones but I couldn't confirm) and a simple board but great tones and guitars and what a player.

I miss my early series/no ADA MP-1. It was a tonemaster!

Defining a correct text answer with an asterisk - Loquiz

Anything that’s in Tom Bukovac’s garage.

Ty Tabor circa 1989
Marc Ford circa 1991
Adrian Belew around 1980
Robert Quine's imagination circa 1991

Good choice! Jealous you got to hear it so close. He just uses a crunch on the helios and then cleans up on the volume or adds a od in front?

Apart from this it would be EVH from the late 80s, Vai from the eat arm & smile, EJ from Austin city limits or 80s Gsry Moore.

All in the great scheme of things fairly simple and approachable! Loud marshalls and a handful of pedals.

One of my greatest regrets in the early days of Ebay was not having a spare £5k to spend on the advert for Billy Duffy's full Sonic Temple touring rig. 2 JCM 900s, 2 4x12s and full Bradshaw rack and switcher. Would have been perfect for pub gigs! Oh well!

He essentially has an analogue version of a Kemper/Axe-FX etc.

As in, he has about a dozen high end amp heads on a custom switching system to select which goes down to an isolation cabinet in his basement with a selection of mics on a cab that then go back up to his room so he can blend the mics to taste.

Jason Isbell. His latest rig rundown is basically an ‘I wish’ list for me.

Or Jeff Tweedy. His vintage touring gear is envious both acoustic and electric.

Howdy, Stranger!
