Well, I don't own anything else. Well, I take that back I did just buy a house with a huge second building for my studio, but real estate is really cheap where I am. So I own a house and lots of equipment and literally nothing else!

Well you don't need anything else? To quote Flight of the Conchords: "Just stay home and play synthesizers"

Ha. So true. Luckily I do get to work from my studio all day, but I'm usually playing drums more than synths. ;-)

Hm, not so confident about posting my rig, having seen other member's long lists... so let's keep it that it's my expanding list

- Fender US Standard Stratocaster (1999)
- Yamaha CPX700 (acoustic, 2008)
- Yamaha nylon
- Rivera R55 (needs repairs, alas, bought 2nd hand 1999)
- Samick cheap practice amp (1997?)
- Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (2000 non-US version, kinda broken)
- Electro-Harmonix Big Muff w/ Wicker (2009)
- Boss OD3 (2005)
- Boss DD5 (borrowed in 2008, waiting for it to be asked back together with an apology for threatening to punch me in the face - alcoholics suck)
- Dunlop Wah (no idea how old, kinda worn&noisy on the pot)
- Pearl Chorus (very old, if you see one of those give 'em a shot!)
- MXR 6-band EQ (handed down by my father)

Ok, so it's not exactly a shortlist anymore, I guess I underestimated myself...
- Yamaha AN1x synth (loopable free EG, great for pads or noises)
- Jomox Xbase09 (analog drummachine, believe Trent uses Jomox - I'm guessing "Echoplex"
- Stylophone (2009)
- Colorsound portable theremin (2009)
- Casio ...can't remember model (old-fashioned preset synth, 80ies or so)
- Philips PCM100 (one day I'll find a use for it!)

Right now that's about it. I'm usually asked to play guitar for people, in which case I will most likely run my guitar through selected fx into whatever amp's on stage already. Playing for indie artist I preferred running my guitar through the Boss OD, Wah and Muff into a slightly distorted Marshall amp - and yes, I would switch on both the OD and Muff for solos, and yes, it's a dirty lot of noise.

Just aside: is it me or is the Muff on its way to become the most popular drive/fuzz/distortion ever or something? I believe the Boss DS1 had acquired a bit of a position in that respect (Vai, Satriani, Cobain, lots of others), but you sure see a lot of guitarists with a Muff these days.

Electro-Harmonix rules!
(says the guy with a Bi-Filter high on the wishlist)

Hmmm, its up there in the top 5 maybe, but I wouldn't say its the most popular. I think smashing pumpkins really brought them to the mainstream, but the problem is you really need to get them modded to have that sweet big muff tone. The new tone wicker one looks sweet tho, I deffo need to try that out.

As for the most popular, the DS-1 is definately the top. As for second, its either the TS9/8, or the Boss MT-2 (THE must have for the 12 year old metal heads).

The DS-2 is alot better imo, but the ds-1 can be pretty badass if you get some sweet mods on it. Same applies to alot of boss pedals really.

Quite a bit of its just outright wrong, and its quite outdated, but it's a start.

Yup, but you never know if theyve used them in the studio or anything like that. I wouldn't be suprised if they sent him a pedal for free and then said he's used it, since chances are he'll have at least tried it once.

I have the ds2 and I prefer the big muff, really (or my proco rat). You have grunge and damp sound with a ds2, with a big muff it's more incisive and loud!

I have a Casio CTK-720 keyboard. I'm going to get a refund for it though because there's nothing to do with it. I'm going to try and learn the piano on it, but it pretty much sucks for anything else. I'm liking the Korg microKorg Synthesizer/vocoder, it looks really cool and seems to do what I want for now and will keep me busy for a while. Does anyone have some advice for someone looking to really do something with his gear someday? What to start with and such? Any advice would be great, thanks.

I've been working on some solo stuff lately, since finding a cool band where I live hasn't panned out. Here's what I'm using:

Recording:
Reason 3.0 for drum tracks (some samples on a few electronic songs)
Fostex MR8-HD 8-track
MXL 990 condenser mic
Tascam stereo condenser mic

Guitars/amps:
Gibson Les Paul Standard
Crestline semi-hollow Telecaster copy (best piece of shit guitar ever)
Fender acoustic
Winfield 30w tube head and 1x12 cab
Winfield 5w tube combo

Basses/amps:
Handbuilt P-bass, ash body (Stewart-Macdonald) Jazz neck (Allparts) DiMarzio pickups
Dean EVO bass
Gallien-Krueger 800RB head
Eden 115XLT cab
Eden 212XLT cab

Drums:
Alesis DM5 Pro electronic kit
Pearl PowerShifter pedal

I'm not a very good drummer, so I program the drum tracks in Reason, then run a stereo cable from the headphone jack on my laptop into my 8-track, and overdub guitars and bass. I haven't had much luck with vocals, but that may come later. A link to the songs I have so far:
Num Num Snack Factory

Computer/Software
13" MacBook Pro - 2.53 GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD
Logic Studio 9
Audacity - for extra sample editing
Garageband - for demos before they're transferred to Logic
all the free plugins i can find

Generic/Shitty PC Laptop
FL Studio 8
-this set up is just for beat making, i had FL back when i started with computers and missed playing with it. everything goes into Logic eventually.

Hardware/Instruments
Alesis io26
cheap Casio home keyboard (used as MIDI controller)
Akai MPD16 USB drum pad
M-Audio MobilePre (when i'm out and about)
Tokai Telecaster copy
Limited Edition Blue Epiphone Dot
old Epiphone bass (somewhere between a P-Bass and a J-Bass)
early 80's Sigma acoustic guitar
friend's Fender J-Bass
Crate Classic 50 1x12 amp
friend's Fender Champ 1x8 combo
cheap dynamic mics for amps
MXL condensers for vocals/noise
2 cheap drumkits (1 Pulse, 1 Ludwig)
Digitech, Boss, Electro-Harmonix, Dunlop effects pedals
mess of percussion, cables, instruments that i've ended up with and pull out occasionally.

All I have is a guitar...well...several guitars. They are, in order of acquisition:

1979 Hohner Acoustic
2004 Squier Stratocaster (Heavily Modified)
2007 Ibanez RG370DX
2003 Schecter C-1 Diamond Series
2009 Deltatone Telecaster Copy (Slightly modified)

This all goes into a Boss SD-1, a Little Big Muff, and a Fender Rumble 15. Yes i use a bass amp because i'm too cheap to buy myself a new guitar amp. I try to get it to sound more electronic by scooping the mids out and it works well enough. but i need a GK pickup and a module to go with it to make the sound i'm looking for. I'm absolutely hopeless at keyboards. They just don't make any sense to me. But guitars, they make perfect sense.

Roland Juno-G Synth Hooked up to the pc, Old Custom Electric guitar Plugged to the synth, ukulele.

I love my Synth, it's not a big flash $5000 Korg.
But It does more for me than my boyfriend does.
