Your Dream Setup?

Post by Yetti »

Sup Kids
Im sure this has been done before but ive had a few beers and is pretty bored so i was curious to see what you guys dream about as far as a set up of gear, guitars, effects and such? No matter if your a parents basement rockstar or is in a band.

I consider my self a James Hetfield Clone so My Dream set up would be:

Guitars:
Agile Olympic White Explorer (Already Have Hah My main guitar)
Ken Lawrence Explorer - Jake got his dream so maybe i will make mine come true some day.
James' Red Flames Flying V - If i ever got a V it would be that one.

AMPs:

Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Combo - For Kick Ass Rhythm
Roland JC-120 - For My Cleans

Then maybe a Mesa 4x12 cab
And a Mesa boogie Triaxes once i figure out how they work.

ahh, That's good. I havea Jc-chorus 160( same one, but a 160 watt instead of a 120 watt) and damn, the clean is so beutiful.
You won't get dissapointed with a Jc.

I wouldn't mind having a KL either. Korina version thank you.

You didn't know this, but I got a JC120 also! The clean on it is beautiful, mine is a late 80's model that I got off ebay, and it has absolutely no distortion channel. Well, I have achieved the biggest dream in my life with the KL explorer. The only other dreams I have is:

Diezel Full stack
Diezel Herbert or VH-4 or whatever it is that James plays.

I also wouldn't mind having a Korg D32 mixer so I can start recording.

Those of you that have talked to me know that I don't really let anything hold me back from my dreams, so I'll probably acquire all of these things.

My Jc-160 is a 70-80s model and it has one distortion channel, but that is the most sucky distortion you could probably find in that (expensive)priceclass. It's a Really strong amp, distortion gets good when I plug my Boss-Gt-8 in it. But I guess that a Marshall or a Mesa Boogie in the same priceclass has lots better built-in distortion and will sound lots better when a external pedal is plugged in.

So, Brillian clean, never had anything that beats it, but Distortion could be better, even with a Gt-8 plugged in.
