Randy’s Gear
by randy on Aug.29, 2006, under Guitar Gear
I have been using Ibanez guitars for 10 years.They are pretty durable when I was playing shows with the band.They sound great in the studio.They all have the Floyd Rose Licenced Tremolo systems.I set the action as low as I can without the nasty buzz.I also play the 7 strings a lot too.But I recently aquired 2 other Ibanez guitars.One is a white RG321 with no tremolo.Just a fixed bridge.I call that the stripper guitar because Henry(Jacobs Ladder Drummer)and I bought a bunch of stickers and stuck them on the guitar.It’s a cool guitar it’s pretty much my main one.The other is an Ibanez Les Paul copy.I was amazed to find this one.It looks like a real Gibson Les Paul Cherry Sunburst.I had some mdifications done to it.I put a Kill Switch on it,and moved the selector switch to where the four knobs are located.Now there are only 2 knobs,my selector switch,and my Kill Switch.I saw Buckethead at a concert and he had this modification on the All White Gibson Les Paul he was using.You could say I copied him,I thought it sounded really cool,and I had to have done on my guitar.
My amplifiers haven’t changed much.I still have the same stuff but I don’t use as much when I play live or in rehearsal.Right now I’m pretty set with my Rocktron Chameleon preamp,and Rocktron poweramp through my Marshall Cabinets.It’s got effects that are good enough.I also use my Moreley Bad Horsie wah pedal also.In the studio I use My Marshall JMP1 preamp for just about everything,and once inawhile I will use a Johnson Millenium J-Station.
I’m not sure what the new hot gear is now but their are some items I am looking into buying.I like Suhr guitars,Tom Anderson guitars,and ESP guitars.Every amp out there is pretty cool.There are some pedals from Boss,and Fultone that are really neat.I am probably going to get the George Lynch Tripler pedal from Morley.
