Your ultimate setup?

Post by Rhysyrhys »

Just interested,

Mine is (atm):

Baja Tele >

Whammy IV
Volume Pedal
LPB-2 or LPB-1 Nano
Either Catalinbread SCOD or MI Crunch Box
TS-9DX
Subdecay Prometheus
Electric Mistress
Digitech Timbender
Memory Boy w/ exp

> Laney AOR or GH50L > 2x12 with Eminence Canis Majoris Speakers.



Nearly there almost, need to grab me a Prometheus and a Memory Boy/DMB. And hopefully my gain issues will be long gone soon.


Et toi?

I think you mean a MBM Saltbooster, but for me it'd be:

1962 Fender Jaguar
to:
Ross Compressor
Vintage Vox Wah
Saltbooster
Original Proco RAT
Fulltone OCD
Big Muff
Small Clone
Small Stone
Memory Boy or Man
Danelectro Reel Echo
to:
Fender Twin

Hey -- I'm 1/4 of the way there and I'm 14, so I should be able to attain some of this in the rest of my life. Maybe?

Really depends on where (band or home or gig) and which band...but earlier today I had a quick strum and it was bloody great using just the following:

Fender '68 RI Strat (with Bareknuckle Trilogy pups)
>
MBM Saltbooster
Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret
>
Fender '65 Princeton Reverb RI

other days it would be:

Custom made Les Paul (with Barknuckle Nailbomb bridge and Mississippi Queen neck pups)
>
Boss TU-2
Morley Bad Horsie Wah
Zvex SHO
MBM Saltbooster
MBM "Lamp's Crunchy Distortion" (Crunch box clone)
Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret
MXR Phase 90 (script)
MXR Carbon Copy Delay
Boss RC-2 Loop Station
>
Marshall JVM 410

I keep having impure thoughts about Princetons. It involves selling everything and buying a Princeton and a nice tele...

i think i've pretty much got it now.

Fender 60's Strat or Baja Tele

MBM dirty little secret

Dunlop Volume pedal

Fender Blues Deluxe

Only think that i probably would change would be the amp to a marshall and maybe add a small stone nano.
after getting such a good sound on saturday, i'd be happy just to stick to the strat/DLS/Deluxe combo till the fuckers die.
Fender Classic Player 60’s Stratocaster>East Coast T1 Tele>
Epiphone Les Paul SL>Ovation 12 String acoustic>Peavey Strat DIY Relic

Marshall Origin 20H>James’s old purple 2x10
Marshall MG10 Combo

64 Jaguar

EB VPJR
POG2
Pitchblack
MBM Sun Face
MBM OCD/DLS
good multi modulation effect
Nova Delay
Hardwire RV-7
RC-2

Bassman 50
2x12 (greenback + vintage 30)

still looking for a good modulation pedal that'll cover a lot of ground, speakers to go in the cab, maybe a DMB when it comes around. POG2 would be eeeexcellent

I don't think I'll know my ideal setup until I stumble upon it. I'm still finding out what kind of player I am, and what pedals and even guitars suit me the best.

Whatever it turns out being, it's gonna be dirty.

tricky pricing them. they're pretty rare. here is a yahoo auction which sold for 157,000 yen, which is over $1600 us. and here is one listed on another japanese site at 228,000 yen which is about $2500, but i think that one sold.
in more westerly locales, japanguitars.co.uk has one for sale but you must inquire for the price. which probably means it's really expensive.
