sold a bunch of shite over the years and wanting to setup some cool setups in my music room. Been a few years since I really got into electric but I'm starting again. Had a friend buy my hiwatt custom 50 against my better judgment and also let a few nice guitars go so I got a little cash to work with

Gibson SG
Real McCoy Picture Wah
Way Huge Aqua Puss Analog Delay
Vox 4 watt tube amp

Yeah, I don't have much but it's what I like. The Real McCoy wahs are expensive but well worth it.

That's a cool little setup. How's that way huge delay. One thing that will stay in my setup is my eventide timefactor. Actually have an extra that I'm selling.

Just ordered a noel cornet fuzz. Buddy of mine had one and I could not get over the sound. Only thing is dealing with someone from Japan. He said it was shipping first week December.

I like the way huge, haven't gotten to play around with it a lot, it's packed away at the moment. It does have all kinds of bells and whistles though.

Edit: I'm pretty awful at describing sounds, I just play and buy what I like.
My setup is pretty Spartan, because most of my guitar heroes had little to no effects. I like the pure sound of the guitar, but need effects for a few songs that I play.

Yeah he offered a little more than I paid used several years ago. That thing was super loud and clean. Be honest I felt like it needed to be used. It was a shame sitting around my house collecting dust. It wasn't like it was super rare but you don't see them that often. If I want another down the line I'll go look for one. If you are looking to on eBay. Get the sa112. It's all you will ever need.

Casino or Strat (depending on venue)
-->Tubescreamer-->OCD-->Super Chorus-->Arion delay
-->Vintage Club 30

It's a budget setup, but it's made me a little pocket cash this year.

Fender MIM Black Strat that I'm slowly morphing into a Gilmour strat clone. $900 as opposed to $4999 and pretty much be the same guitar is more rewarding.

Gear:
Boss Tu-3
Fulltone Fulldrive 3
Boss BD-2
Buffer mod Ernie Ball VP jr.
MXR Carbon Copy analog delay
TC Nova Delay
BBE Sonic Stomp

On the wish list: MXR dyna comp
and a Tc Trinity or T2 Reverb. Only have room for 2 more pedals and thats all I want. All of this goes into a Vox Ac15C1. Want a Fender Deluxe amp at some point to run stereo.

They are fantastic. You have to roll the tone down quite a bit on the bridge pup, but once you do that it is fat and juicy. They are the best set of strat pups Ive ever played through. The neck pup is what a strat is supposed to sound like.

I'm always switching pup positions. If I'm playing rhythm, the 2 and 4 positions quack like a strat should. If I'm soloing above the 9th fret, the neck pup has the right "doink" tone. If I'm soloing below the 9th, the bridge pup keeps the tone bright and tight.

Im typically on the neck for any and all lead stuff involving a strat. I do like the bridge pup for some slower drawn out stuff with effects like Floyd solos. I typically use the bridge pup for chording and the mid position for finger plucking and clean phrasing.

'83 Les Paul Custom
'06 Les Paul Standard
'87 Strat
'09 Willy G Tele made to my specs
'05 Eastwood hollow body

All are left-handed models.

Amps are '65 black face Fender Super Reverb reissue and a '65 black face Fender Deluxe Reverb.

Pedal board is a Boss tuner>Ibanez phaser>Danelecto Daddio>Lizard Leg Effects Flying Dragon>DD2 delay pedal>Cry Baby WaaWaa.

I lost a 1957 Tele to a fire.

The insurance settlement from that one gittar paid for my new studio!
