Dream Set-Up...

Post by Haze »

Not sure if this has been broached, if so, ignore. But it's always interesting to see what people are after!

Mine would go something like this

Budda Wah
POG
Love Vibe
Hot Cake
Box of Rock
Green Muff
Salt Boost
Small Clone
dd600
hardwire rev.
Mike's trem/vibrato thingy
Pitch Black

DUDE - I was just about to make this thread as soon as I was done googling the name of Fender's rotary speaker. CREEPY.

Anyways, mine would be as follows:

Original Danelectro U1s - probably 3 so I could have 2 in standard and 1 in open-G. 2 black, 1 jade green.
Fender Mustang - my '69 reissue, ideally with a refret.
v
A really good right-angle cable into a Joe Tore Re'Vibe, which is basically the reverb and tremolo sections from a blackface amp.
v
The big part would be amps. If transportation and cost were no object, I'd have 2 original or remade tweed Bassmans (Bassmen?). I'd then either get a small tweed deluxe head or use one of the Bassman speaker outs to power a Fender Vibratone, which would be hotrodded with a high-efficiency speaker to compete in volume. All the amps would be chained old-school.

That's it - clean and loud and drenched in reverb and modulation.

Right now, I've got 2 U1s, the Mustang, a Dano trem, and an Ampeg Jet on the way. I think that's the closest I'll ever get to my dream setup short of becoming a rock star :roll:

Replace the cocaine with a Scotch Pie, the ladyboy with a sheep and the animal with St Jimmy and I'm there.

2. Connect the pedals I always use

3. Donate a '65 Deluxe Reverb to my poor soul

Feels odd to say it, but I'm pretty much there! There's nothing about my setup that isn't the way I want it- maybe get my Jazzy sounding closer to my Strat in brightness and twangness, but I'm content, dare I say it.

I'm pretty much with Doog. I'm way happy with everything at the moment.

Anything I desire is generally for practise/recording/mucking about.

My live setup is done.

Jaguar -> Korg DT-10 -> Aen Plane Ticket Boost -> Klon -> Behringer DD400 -> Marshall 6100 -> Marshall 2x12"

My modded RAT might boot the Klon, who knows?

My setup is pretty much complete with what I've been doing lately...

Current setup:

Telecaster > Digitech Bad Monkey > Ruetz Rat2 > Boss DD7 > Vox AC15 w/ tone cut mod and 80s Greenback

I'd really like to replace the Bad Monkey with a SHO (which I really want to build myself but if it proves too difficult I'll get a Livesly) at some point. The DD7 my girlfriend got for me for Christmas. I really didn't expect it and hadn't looked at any of the Digital boss delays when I was on my 'pedal voyage'. I'm giving it a honeymoon period of about 3-6months before I make a final decision on it though. Initially I was really gung-ho on the idea of getting an AD-999.

So my 'ideal' setup really would be:

Telecaster > SHO clone > Ruetz Rat2 > Electro Harmonix Poly Chorus > Maxon AD-999 > Vox AC15 w/ tone cut mod and 80s Greenback

For a tuner I use a TU12h but live I used to have a TU2... I'd opt for a DT-10 or Pitchblack tuner this time 'round.
