Hows this???

me and Adam M were discussing this earlier and we decided because he has so much incredible gear he will have a shitety tone.... something like blink182 or korn

cos he obviously has more money than sense.

Sweet jesus, that's a rack and a half!

My concern with using that many different bits of stuff is: When something starts crackling, or buzzing or popping or cutting out, how the hell do you figure out which one it is??? I wouldn't even know how to turn half that stuff on, let alone work it. :)

Jealousy will get you nowhere :-)

While it's an impressive pile of gear to have lying around, I'm not sure I'd want much of it.  A rack wah always seemed like a great idea to me (but I'm happy with my Morley), perhaps the rack Recto (though I like my standard size head)

Not sure he's doing the gear any good having it in a pile like that rather than bolted properly into a rack case though...

no one person needs that much gear, surely, unless they run a studio or practice establishment or the like. I think anyone who does is actually quite sad - i actually think i'm pretty sad for playing too much with the knobs and not enough with the strings sometimes, and my setup is guitar->combo amp.

Got to agree with you there indy. I am by nature a technoholic but I have found all the guitarists I have liked over the years have used relatively simple setups. It seems to me that with adding that amount of processing to the guitar signal usually changes the 'character' so much that you have to add even more processing to bring it back to somewhere near it was to begin with.

Very impressive - but how does the song go ?? - "It's only rock n roll"... not a NASA space launch  :roll:
