Alright, anybody tell me what's underneath the guitars?

SKB racks?

Didn't think someone would be able to spot something like. I can't tell for sure; However, even if you're right, It's not quite that important.

none of its that important, but we keep coming on equipbaord anyway when we have nothing better to do, right?

anyway, they are definitely the molded plastic SKB cases, I had 2 or 3 of them at one point before I upgraded to one larger Calzone case and dumped all the extraneous processors I didn't use in a closet (I seem to just accumulate junk, even when I try and sell it off, more stuff turns up).... I see three fractals in there, not sure which model axe fx they are though, there's a multi-space furman UPS-type conditioner and a single space furman in another rack... I also see 4 wireless units in the bottom right rack, not sure of the brand at a glance because I ahte all wireless systems apart from maybe the line6 one, which isn't totally intolerable in sound.... but there are three or four 1RU processors in there I can't ID

Fantastic, I'll ID them all later, but I'm still sifting through a gold mine of gear I just found. Thank you!

One more thing I just noticed:

See that pedal? What is it?

not sure, the picture is really crap... but that idiot is dressed as Dr Doom, did anyone tell him he looks really foolish? I hope do.

I haven't seen a higher res image of that pedal, but they're call Nameless Ghouls, they're in the Band Ghost. Essentially, this is what they look like on stage.

heavy music just periodically dips into silliness ever since 70s glam opened the door a bit and kiss kicked it wide open

I'm having trouble identifying the rack units and pedals in this photo of Jeff Waters with his rig.

PEDALS (L-R) (from the top) 1. ??? 2. Boss CH-1 SUPER Chorus 3. Dunlop DC-Brick Power Supply 4. Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress 5. MXR EVH-117 Flanger 6. Boss BF-2 Flanger (why the heck would he have 2 flangers onboard?) 7. MXR EVH90 Phaser 8. MXR Smart Gate 9. Boss OD-1 Overdrive

RACKS (from the bottom) : 1. ??? 2. Line 6 POD PRO XT 3. ??? 4. ??? 5. seems like an Alesis rack, unsure.

Everything else is unknown. Help!

rak units from top:

patch bay, unsure of make

Radial JD7 injector

Korg Pitchblack rack tuner

Apogee Rosetta 200

not sure, looks like an RME interface, maybe an ADI8

Focusrite ISA110 preamp and EQ

Alesis Quadraverb GT

Drawmer 1960 compressor

Teletronix LA2A Tube Levelling Amplifier or a clone

Line 6 POD pro, looks like a 4 to me

and the last 1ru piece is an Apogee unit but I can't remember which one

and pedal #1 is a Digitech RP55 DigiDelay

The Doctor. I have enjoyed the fact that he's now a guitarist in the new series, but apart it being a Yamaha any idea what he's playing...

I have noticed that there are some iconic classic rock players with well-documented gear who have shockingly incomplete equipboard (including some fucking Beatles).... I am working to remedy this miscarriage of gear documentary justice. If anyone sees a guitar god of classic rock fame with an incomplete equipboard please let me know so I can work on it next! Up until I decided to glance at George Harrison's page I assumed the classic guys were all done and done right. Apparently only Jimmy Page is (even Hendrix has holes, but documentary evidence is slow going for him, so much mythology, not enough photos and interviews)

Looks like a Yamaha SGV800...

But which one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeydMQfQAbY - I have no idea what kind of acoustic bass is that - looks like a Yamaha.

http://equipboard.com/pros/chet-atkins - I have a feeling much of gear he played is left out. I think he has this "Me&My Guitars" book, so someone should check this out - it might have some gear. http://equipboard.com/pros/johnny-cash - It's very hard to find almost anything on his topic, this is a challenge for you. http://equipboard.com/pros/buddy-holly - He was very young when he died, and he didn't use much gear - most of it were Stratocasters. Maybe there is some left out. http://equipboard.com/pros/chuck-berry - Guitars are alright, the only thing missing is basically everything around them. http://equipboard.com/pros/dick-dale http://equipboard.com/pros/mark-knopfler - Amps and effects... http://equipboard.com/pros/allen-collins - There was actually a book that described his gear to the bone...completly broke it down. But I don't know if that's legit what the book says. http://equipboard.com/pros/gary-rossington - Basically, whole Lynyrd Skynyrd.

http://carolineguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_1507.jpg - I know that there is Neo Instruments Ventilator, Klon Centaur, Strymon El Capistan, Catalinbread Pareidolia, Caroline Wave Cannon, Hermida Zendrive, Hartman Envelope Filter. I can't figure out the rest of pedals.

http://s410.photobucket.com/user/Evetsznerk/media/ShaynesPedalBoard1.jpg.html - Shayne Hill's pedalboard. I see Pigtronix Echolution, Boss GE-7, Boss TU-2 or TU-3, Paul Cochrane Timmy Overdrive, Analogman King Of Tone, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Vox V847, MXR Dyna Comp, Klon Centaur. I can't figure out the rest.

http://missionengineering.com/?p=1134 - Claudio Sanchez rig is a bit unknown to me. There is Whirlwind Multi-Selector, something that looks like Audio-Technica AEW-R5200, Fractal Axe FX II. What's that thingy at the top.

Chet's board is not far from done.... its missing one obvious amplifier, but I'll take care of that ;-) Johnny Cash is pretty much done, he's a man of few chords. Might be shy an acoustic model or 2.... I am not sure its worth adding microphones or anything to a guy this old. He just used what was at the gig or whatever the engineer at the studio put out in front of him or his guitar. It was a simpler time and the gear was so consistently nice that anything you got was killer.

Chuck pre-dates effects, doesn't use 'em.... he's mainly a twin reverb man (if you've ever seen "hail hail rock 'n roll" you can see him with his twin elling Keef the fuck off when Keef tries to get him to adjust his settings LOL). But he's used all sorts of stuff. Just like how he used to hire local pick=up bands to cut touring costs, he also just toured with his guitar for a great deal of his career and used any amplifier the venues would provide. Chuck Berry is like the one guy who doesn't need an equipboard, the man can sound like Chuck Berry with any Gibson guitar through any amp.

Buddy Holly I know cold, but I will need documentary evidence. I know exactly what Fender and Magnatone amps he favored, no joke, but hell if I can remember what amp book it was all mentioned in.

I'm not sure I care enough about Knopfler or the bozos from Skynyrd. I have trouble taking the guys resposnible for free bird very seriously. Knopfler is a great player though, I just never stopped to think about his sound because when I think badass strat tone I just don't think Dire Straits.

I've actually talked gear with Dick Dale personally many times and that list is right more or less. I need to mess with the strat to be more specific. He's had a few, all old if I recall. He also used a couple fender amps including a blonde non-dual showman before he went to dual showmans (Leo basically made the dual-showman to please Dale, no joke). I owned an early Dual Showman like Dick's 2 that was the same Fender Electrical Instruments badged early model without the word "DUAL" on the faceplate like you see in '64.... that's kidna what started me chatting with him. I went to see him at the northstar 12 years ago and I noticed his dual showmans didn't say "DUAL" so I asked him about it after the set and we wound up sitting at the bar together for an hour talking Fender. Though mostly he talked and I listened. Before I got married I sued to hang with DD every time he was in town. Nice guy. Crazy, but nice. If you ever go to see Dick be sure to approach him before he leaves, he's a really friendly person. He gave me a great piece of advice one time, he said the only reason to have tone controls on guitar amps is so that when you use 2 of them you can adjust them to compliment eachother, otherwise if the amps is designed well and right for you, you might as well let it all rip at 10. His eyes looked a little crazy and dangerous as he explained this, but he's right in a way....

What even is that? Looks like someone just created the body of a Jaguar, then put one sexy pickup in the middle.

Also, look at this. To the left of the Eventide Space. What is that?

This weird guitar is Harmony Bobkat. St. Vincent is noted to play one. It is one of those Harmony/Kay junkies that are widely used by pros. I mean, there are decent amount of Harmony and Kay users. You have Dan Auerbach, Jack White, basically anyone who's popular in the hipster circle. And they are pretty cheap and if you're in USA, and pretty easy to get them. This looks like a H14 model, because it's single pickup. But if you're in Europe, yeeeah, that's why we have those funky 60's guitars like Hoyer, Hofner, Framus, Hohner...

The pedal is Peterson VSS-C tuner. Petersons are pretty easy to identify because they have the unique design.
