guitar RiG!


Guitar "RiGs" are as personal to a musician as his private parts are to a human! And I am no different.....my present Effects RiG is as follows:
Ibanez GAX-30jb guitar
->ART tubeMP (vacuum tube preAmplifier)
->BOSS VF-1 24Bit-Digital Studio Multi-Effects Processor
->ElectroHarmonix Qtron envelope Filter
->Danelectro FUZZ
->Danelectro DRiVE
->BOSS DS-1 Distortion
->DigiTECH rp-50 (wahwah & Harmonizer/Whammy)+ Casio VP-2 Expression Pedal
->Boss RC-20XL LoopStation (Loop sampler pedal)

Then the signal can go through the Roland VS-840 Digital Audio Workstation into the Roland CDX-1 Digital Sampler/Multi-track Recorder, and further still to be captured on the Sony MDS-Je510 studio mini disc recorder....monitoring the whole time via a vintage Kenwood KA-2002 power amplifier and Sony SS-78 speakers...
or
just feed that signal to the Kiel Model-300 tube combo amp, or the Orange Micro-crush amp, or the Yamaha JX-15 amp....

I like to make sure i have many options, that is helpful during the creative process.
sitting on the sidelines is alot of useful gear which will be creeping into the mix sooner or later....

-DBX 163x compressor/Limiter (i have a pair of these half rack wonders!!!)
-ALTO alphaCOMP digital compressor modules (and I have a pair of these as well!!!)
-Behringer UltraFEX II - two channel sound Enhancer
-ElectroHarmonix PolyPHASE
-MXR Blue Box

and I am considering buying the Behringer ULTRAFEX Exciter/Enhancer, also two channels like the one I already have. I am looking to try an exciter for low frequency processing, a way to liven up the really low sounds, and i like Behringer's rackmount gear from 5 years ago and more....I don't know about the pedals and such nowadays, but i used to own a rack piece called "UltraCurve Pro" and it was awesome!!!! I was broke and had to pay bills so I sold it, but I'd say it was competition for TC electronic's Finalizer , and in my opinion Mastering music was never so fun as with the Behringer UltraCurve Pro....programming options went as deep as you would want or need to go, and I mastered a few albums I was hired to engineer, giving me the extra pay since they didn't have to take the mixdown tapes elsewhere for 'mastering'.

All this typing about effects and processing makes me hot & bothered, something only an intimate friend, or an electric guitar can solve!!!!!
later!
