Man, Dave has had his hands all over that rig. I wonder what goes or went under the 2 GT1000FX. They can't be running that hot

You can just hear that rig groaning w/ power, stuffed to the hilt.

Those H/H amps looked like they're almost dimed!

I don't have pics, but in 1998 I went to a Marillion Acoustic Concert where Steve Rothery played the whole gig with only the old model of Korg Pandora attached to the guitar strap

I still keep the ticket, though

And that is the man that loves not only huge racks, but also pedalboards

Old times:

For some reason I have it in my head he had some 2x12 wedges up front that were powered by them since he keeps his cabs backstage. I dunno if I’m remembering that right or not though.

Can you guess ?

Ahhh... The electric guitar. Such a pure and simple instrument.

I think you’re right, but I remember him using some Ivory EVH 2x12s as monitors, which was a strange choice to me

That's nuts!!

Got any context?

 

[Stone]

The gong says Boston

Is that Alex’s collection?

Has to be unless he lent out one of his heads. I finally noticed the top Cameron in the rack has his Rockin' Chippy sticker on the left side of the faceplate.

Proper orientation of pedals == toanz. Rat's nest of patch cables? No effect.

Supposedly the additional resistance of the longer patch cables helps his tone. Just like his vintage NOS 9V batteries.

Ummmm, I'm sure you've heard of Tom Scholz?

Yeah, I know about him and the gear he invented. I'm asking like, where/what is this? It doesn't look like a stage setup. I see a gong, but no drum set. Speakers all concentrated only on one side.... Just doesn't seem like it's a live setup. Thus my question of what is the context of this pic.

You can make out a couple of cymbals in front of the big ass 5 figure gong

Can someone grab me a Step Ladder so I can adjust that Graphic EQ??

And yesterday someone posted that video of the guy complaining about the "big failure" of the "useless" Axe-FX III front panel

Seems like Tom Scholz has one rack per "preset"

Here's a few I've been inspired by over the years:

Alex Lifeson:

Kirk Hammett:

Hetfield circa 1991ish:

FII era Petrucci

1995-2015 ish Hetfield:

Mike Orlando from Adrenaline Mob:

The guy from Muse has a killer setup:

A couple more modern Petrucci rigs that make a lot more sense than his huge ones:

Did you know Robert Trujillo plays through a Ractifier? I know John Myung has used a Triaxis and rectifier before too, they're apparently not half bad for bass:

 

[Desertdweller]

Then there's this awesome rig as well from Tremonti before he went PRS:

And Steve Vai's current rig is pretty great too. Modern rack goodness:

THREE Wicker RK's!!

The secret to tone? Road Kings and frosted tips.

 

[the swede]

Then you've got Aaron Turner from ISIS:

That's what he was running back in the day apparently.

That screwdriver though

What a great unique tone this rig got.
