Jaaaaaaaaaayzeus!!! How could I have missed this thread..!?!?! Guess it's been a while.
AWESOME thread. Ya man, self-admitted music/guitar whore here. Mega. I can't stress this enough.
What's not to say? I do tone-testing for a couple of high end amp manufacturers, which is an awesome honour. I get prototypes, I move some stuff around whether it be preamp glass or powertube glass, or the odd resistor/capacitor, and give my 2 cents. I love it. Give my opinion, amps get built, boom - there it is. Had the honour to work with many amazing manufacturers. Currently fave amps are Bogner, Diezel some of Friedmans stuff, and the older Fortin goods.
Anyway, gear, shit… Um, well, I've got my own recording studio, multiple heads and cabs, guitars, effects, etc. All analog, all digital, or a combo of the two. Most recently, really grooving to the Fractal product running FRFR through the new Atomic CLRs.
I'm a gear head, a music fanatic, totally obsessed guitar player…was laying some original new music just this afternoon (Massive Attack meets Ministry), do all my own drum programming (SD2.0), run Omnishpere along with Trilian and RMX, and a whack of other soft-synth plug-ins. Line-outs to either FAS or Two Notes DI to Reaper 64bit.
When it comes to guitars - Les Pauls and ESP Horizons. Period.
