This is superbasic, but I'm using
Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro (Wine Red)
Squier Affinity Stratocaster (Metallic Red)
Ibanez GAX50 (Red)
Squier SA-100 Acoustic (Natural)
Fender Frontman 25R
D'Addario strings (mainly 11-49)
Monster Instrument Cable

I don't know why 3/4 of my guitars are red. Planning on selling the Ibanez and the Strat for $$$ to get either a Squier VM Tele Deluxe or Jazzmaster.

Vox AC15C1
Reverend Charger

hell yeah, i play that amp with an old Ovation Tornado, so lucky to have a rare vintage guitar to work with. my bassist's dad gave it to him and he lets me play it for our band. it is, i mean, the absolute PERFECT balance to my American Tele. it has the low-end sustain and round tone to offset the high-end resonance and sharpness of the Tele, and the pickups also add this vintage sounding fuzz that makes the amp sound like it's getting more tube breakup than it really is. while i prefer using the Tele live because of its playability, and the fact that you can hear every single note in a series of distorted chords, it would not be able to function on its own in a recording because everything would come across too thin. double tracking between the Tele and the Ovation creates just, this flawless tone, the notes come out crystal clear AND with a lot of body.

haves:
VOX AC15C1
Ovation Tornado
Fender American Telecaster (ash body, rosewood neck)
Digitech JML2 (stereo looper) -- easy to loop a separate verse and chorus and switch between them with this thing
Boss DD-20 digital delay

wants:
-MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive pedal (excellent for that little push, especially when i'm looping the AC15 clean and i want to switch to something distorted without having to go turn a knob)
-Strymon El Capistan Tape Delay (seriously had just bought the DD-20 when i came across this, i wish i saved that money)
-a 1x12 speaker and a Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, so i can mix that pristine tone with the warm sounding Greenback my AC15 already has

being a musician is expensive :(

scratch that overdrive pedal. i just decided that once i buy the 1x12 cab, im gonna also get the Ampeg GVT15H head. i just saw David Bazan play on one and i instantly fell in love with the tone, didnt even know Ampeg made amps for guitars and not just basses. talk about a good complement to my Vox AC15, i love its clean and crunch better than pretty much every other amp ive ever played on, but i honestly dont really like how it sounds when i overdrive it. not only does the Ampeg sound better than the Vox at full blast, it also has a much thicker and bassier gain response, which is exactly what i want from the most distorted chords and leads -- at a similar price range and the same wattage as the Vox.

best of all, if i get a Morley A/B footswitch to go with it, i can actually do looping in stereo -- play one riff on my Vox on the left side of the stage, loop that, then switch to the Ampeg and loop a secondary guitar part on the right side of the stage, and not have to worry about the two mushing together in mono through one speaker. the Ampeg actually has pretty good clean and crunch itself so if i want two light-distortion guitar parts, it can fill in very nicely. then in the louder chorus i can stop the loop, make it so im playing through BOTH amps, and get a rich double-tracked sound that way without having to worry about using a boost pedal to compensate. essentially i'll be getting the best of both worlds and have the capabilities to be two guitarists at once.

a cool trick you can do when you're playing in stereo is to just barely delay your signal to one of the amps(the guitarist in my band uses a boss DD-7 for this), it gives it a slight chorus sound and i think it makes it sound a lot better then both amps just projecting the same signal at the same time.

just got that 1x12 speaker cab off ebay, with a Celestion Alnico Blue already installed. got it for the price of the speaker alone, and its an Avatar cab too so excellent quality. cant wait to hear it transform my Vox's tone, i especially am interested to try using it as an extension speaker so i can hear the Greenback and Blue blend together.

i also have a Casio PX-100 keyboard, almost forgot to list it because its the only piece of equipment that's been around, and not been replaced, since i started writing music. literally. i wanted to buy the new model (CDP-120) because its Black Friday price at Guitar Center (even online) is 250, especially because i can probably sell my current one for that much if not more (it was 500 new), AND it has USB, which beats recording from the headphone jack like i currently do. however, whyyyy the fuck would they keep the shitty Harpsichord function, but get rid of the Vibraphone?? i like the way the vibes sound on my keyboard even more than the piano tone itself. i mean, Elec Piano can sound good if you use it right, and the Strings are good so long as you're using them for atmosphere and not in a leading role, so i'm not upset they kept those. but basically they got rid of the best tone, while keeping the one nobody ever uses unless they're trying to intentionally sound ridiculous. dumb.

it really sucks because, the main reason i want the new model is for recording purposes. however, i use the Vibraphone function in three (and in the final recording stage, probably more) songs on my album, and i kind of need it. in all three instances i use it in a leading role so it's not something that can be comprimised or replaced.
