Guitar spods and music trainspotters: this one's for you!

I don't understand a word on this thread, but it still rocks.

My last outing at a live gig consisted of a "rig" with a second hand H&H 50 with one of the castors broken (propped up with a tobbacco tin ), a leaking resistor that had rotted part of the electronics, giving out loud buzzing noises, supported by a crappy Vox pedal.

We had to come off stage half way through due to "technical problems".

The singer announced that he'd had a crap night. A wit in the audience replied "so have we".

Sorry, but

Lovely site but where are Metallica and Pink Floyd?

By the looks of it, it's done by talking to the artists, so I guess they haven't with those.

I wanted to know what John Reis' looks like.

Blimey. And I thought my setup was complicated*

What I don't get with a lot of these is that it would take you years of knob-tweaking to figure out what your setups were capable of. Very knob orientated.

Another problem with really complex setups is when (as it always will) something dies on stage, it's basically game over. Really you should have two of everything and they should be easily swappable parts.



* Volume pedal -> twin echos->twin distortions->wah->Marshall tube combo->4x12 where appropriate.

Anybody 'geeked' a diagram of their own setups?

Including Hendrix?

Some are taken from interviews in magazines and what not, like Hendrix for example.

If an artist has a really complicated setup then probably the best person to talk to about it would be their guitar tech.

You could always read what they have to say about it, innit.
