if you could play any guitar rig ever, who/when would it be?

[Deanmachine]

The Caswell/ Levi modded S.i.r #34/39 Marshalls.

 

[311boogieman]

Mick Mars did have some thick tone. I'd love to play through any of his rigs. Or the KSE guys.

 

[flatheads_4ever]

George Lynch's "Wicked Sensation" studio rig.

Ed

 

[Hardvalve]

Some really low standards here. Holy crap.

Easily Zappa's setup circa 1979. What an insane rig that was.

 

[APO]

Ronson's rig when he was playing with Bowie
Gilmour's rig around The Wall
Iommi's rig for Paranoid
Scholz's original Boston rig
Cantrell's rig around Dirt

I would have mentioned EVH if he wasn't already. I would say Hendrix's, but I don't think I could play his guitar since I'm a righty.

It's not a Strat on Cliffs of Dover, it's a 335...

wow, I didn't know that!! No wonder I was so baffled how a strat could sound like that!!

I had the same reaction when I read it. Two other tone mashups are Page's solo on Stairway being played on a Tele through a Supro amp (!), and Gilmour recording the solo in Comfortably Numb on a Les Paul.

I´ve always thought Cliffs of Dover is both a strat and a 335, they come and go thru the song.

 

[Luca79]

Petrucci rig of some years ago, with 3 Mark IIC+, TC 2290 and Eventide DSP 7000.

I read it was a 335, but maybe you're right. That violin tone would be hard to get from single coils I think... whatever it is, it works for him. It's not a tone I'd like everyday, but he makes it sound magical.

Yes...Do elaborate.....

 

[nigelpkay]

Right now I'm totally into Toni Iommi's Dio years. His rig was supposedly modded Marshall on Heaven and Hell and the same Marshall mixed with a Mesa Boogie on Mob Rules. Want that Sign of the Southern Cross tone!!!

 

[King Guitar]

Gary Moore's live tone.

 

[Avi8r2005]

Hetfield's live rig

This, but the rig before they started using axe fx. Even to see the HQ and all the gear they have in there. Be like a kid in a candy store
