I play on a new band writing original . Kinda like soundgarden/ Alice in chsins on 8 string mixed with tech metal for flavor at times . I use 2 IBANEZ RG228s . One with Lundgred M8 pickups with a kill switch added. The other is stick with emg 808. My heavy tone is a wizard MTL2 blended with a Diezel Herbert mk 1 with 6l6s . I use a Diezel front loaded cab with v30s with Herbert and a Bogner Uberkab with the Wizard . For cleans I use Mesa Electrodyne combo . Underrated beautiful combo . I’m in middle of deciding what pedals I’ll still use by a use a Defcon 4 to boost and eq the wizard atm
 
I play 70's 80's (mostly) and 90's. Rock, metal. Only play at home for my wife really.

Out of all my stuff, my Go tos are:

2014 PRS Custom 24 10 top Floyd Core
1974 Marshall Superlead (Monomyth modded) or my 1993 SLP Reissue (Monomyth Modded)- They sound close, but more/different option settings on 93 (appears to be very close to skeleton key.)
Splawn 4x12 with 65 Cream backs and Eminence small block 55s in an X.
Fryette Ps100 so I can play in my living rom.
HxFx for delay or reverb in loop of Ps100 (and whatever other effects I may use except boost)
Boss Sd-1 ( I like to boost the 3 gain channel of the Marshalls)

That get's me the sounds I am after for most stuff i want to play.
 
Ampeg SVT II Pro head into an early 70s Ampeg 8x10 cab. I use Spector Forte basses, one fretted and one fretless, and a bunch of effects. Mainly a Darkglass B7K Ultra for grit, Electro Harmonix Bassballs, EQD Sea Machine, Transmisser, and Avalanche Run, and a Phase 90. The utility pedals are an MXR Bass Compressor, buffer, and a Shure GLXD wireless. I play every kind of music.
 
Custom Dark Matter Anomaly > Sound City Master Lead 50 > Fryette Powerstation 1 > Sound City 4x12 (Sound City Power Fanes)

As far as pedals, my mainstays are the Keeley SD-1, Wampler Dual Fusion, Sobbat Drivebreaker 1, Guyatone Stevie Salas Wah Rocker, Pigtronix Echolution 2FP and Alexander Space Race

I mainly play metal (classic and modern), hard rock and blues/funk
 
I haven't gigged in two years now.

When I did, it was this:
Yamaha Weddington Classic
SD-1 for a boost

My current favorite rig is this:
1992 Gibson SG-1
SD-1 for boost (sometimes a TS-9)
Diamond Nitrox

ESP ltd Viper 1000 with emg 57 and 66's

Maxon od808
Boss tu-2
Mesa Boogie Mark IVb
Mesa Rectifier 4x12

That's it. Oh, and I play mainly groove oriented metal in multiple tunings Eb, D, Drop-C, B. 90's style metal and tone.

I play rock and metal, old to new, multiple tunings.

Ibanez SZ520QM with 59/JB and Ibanez RGDIM6FM.

Currently using Digitech RP360xp and 1000 for effects like wah, whammy, phaser, tremolo, modulation, delay, reverb EQ. They are just cheaper and more convenient than the real thing. I still use an Ibanez FL99 which I might get buried with at this point.

PRS MT15 with Mesa Stiletto 412 V30.
 
Cameron Jose type amp, Charvel nitro guitar, G12H30 speakers.
 
Mark 2C+ srgx / ESP Eclipse through a VHT 412 loaded with v30s = brutality (no boost pedals and shit lol)
 
Out of 15 I settle on these most of the time.
Reverend BC-1
Fender Parallel Universe II Jazz Stratocaster
2001 PRS Singlecut with Duncan JB
2002 PRS Standard 24 with Duncan JB
1967 SG Special
Skreddy Echo
Soon adding a phaser or 2 and an Earthquaker Levitation
1998 Diezel VH4 blue spec/silver face
Diezel cab with V30s

My style of music is in a heavy hard rock vibe.

For guitars, I'd say I either grab a Gibson Les Paul or a Charvel.

Nearly all of my pedals are Keeley ones and I am a fan of EL34s, so Marshall's, Friedman, etc. I currently have a 5150-III with EL34s but am craving a Friedman Smallbox.
 
Lester into a Diezel into an Uberkab - no FX needed - just straight in.
 
Lately my Amp1 Iridium...it's just fucking amazing and melts my whole basement.
 
Gigged weekly up to most currently... no recording... gigging and practicing only. Hard Rock cover band... at home everything from Andy Timmons to Andy James.

Les Paul RO (wolfetone timbrewolf bridge and marshallhead neck) into Naylor SD60. Occasionally boosted with JRAD Archer and/or Suhr Koko boost. Digitech DL-8 always on with very low level and mix for subtle wetness.... Tech 21 dla boost for leads. Playing through Bogner OS2x12 loaded with V30 and Creamback.
 
Wide variety of music: Blues, Country, R&B, all sorts of Rock, etc…

Strat Plus

Suhr PT-15

H9, Kingsley Harlot, Mesa Tone Burst, Boss DC-2W, Chellie Odie, PTD BoneMachine GTx, Tubesteader Beekeeper.
