One guitar brand, one amp brand, one pedal brand for the rest of your life

josh

Ok guys, so lets have some fun.
You must choose 3 Brands that you would use for the rest of your life:
So it has to be 1 GUITAR BRAND, 1 AMP BRAND and 1 PEDAL BRAND.
Now here I go:
GUITAR BRAND: GIBSON...........I would use a Flying V or an Explorer
AMP BRAND: ORANGE..........I would use a Rockerverb 100w Head and a 412 Cab
PEDAL BRAND: MXR................I would use a Carbon Copy, a GT-OD, a Phase 90, a M117R Flanger and a Stereo Chorus

So thats me folks........now it's your turn ?

Delta-Male

Electric Guitar: Gibson ES-335
Acoustic Guitar: Taylor
Amp: Marshall JVM410H 100 Watt Valve Head with Full Stack
Pedals: Boss (Chorus, EQ, Reverb, Delay, Flanger, Distortion, Overdrive, Vibrato)

That's my ultimate rig!!

I love Fender the mostest most of all brands ever. But they're not very versatile, so....
Guitars - PRS. They do everything from humbuckers and single coils to semi-hollows and killer acoustics.
Amps - Vox. Chimy cleans to creamy drives.
I dunno about effects. Boss probably. They seem to cover all bases well enough.

Guitar - My Strat or a D'Pergo Strat if I have to chose a brand name
Amps - Fender
FX - No fair! Strymon if I had to choose one, but then they had better make me an overdrive based on the BJFE Honeybee. Ditto with Lexicon. Or I'll cheat and say the Muse Receptor Komplete.

Actually it's an interesting question: who is the best all-round effect company? The guys who do the best digital stuff usually don't do great analog stuff and vice versa. Who does good everything? That's drives, modulation, filter, time and pitch. Probably be one of: T.C. Electronic, MXR, Electroharmonix or Boss.

Good selection (as long as you like lots of different drive pedals ?).

ryanguit

guitar: Fender (Strats and tele's are versatile enough for me) /Tokai after reading IceCreamMan's post
Amp: Fender
Cab: Marshall
FX: Boss (i know them well enough even tho there isn't even 1 on my pedalboard...)

IceCreamMan

Guitar brand : Tokai - they make all derivatives an flavours
Amp Brand - MArshall , they make all sorts
Pedals - Strymon - nothing more needed.

this is simple for me ...... a major Fender fan

guitar ........ Fender telecaster (preferably a vintage one ideally a 59 toploader in vintage white ?)
amp ......... Fender princeton reverb (again preferably an original 65 princeton reverb but modded with 12 inch speaker instead of the 10 " )
effects ...... none .......but if i had to choose one then a wampler paisley drive not that i'd use it much ? but would be nice to have

Gearhead

How can I choose brands if I don't know what I'm gonna like in 10 years time? Best bet is maybe Gearhead guitars and amps, maybe not top notch finishing but at least that way I can get whatever I set my mind to. Effects must then be TC, betcha in ten years they'll make even better stuff...

Ok, on a more serious note:

Electric Guitar - D'Pergo
Acoustic Guitar - Somogyi
Amp - DrZ
Effects - Probably Wampler or Xotic effects but difficult to name just one

dee

Fender guitar, MXR effects into an Orange amp.

That will make me happy for quite a while ?

Jacquesg4j

Electrics: I think Fender. they have most things I want!
Amp: Marshall- they have something nice for everything. The handwired series comes to mind! From bluesbrakers to a nasty little jcm800
Effects: probably TC?? Garsh, this is a hard one!

But if I had to choose one brand for everything, that does guitars amps and effects, I think I would go Line6!
