| My instruments | |
|---|---|
| Squier "stratocaster" (Japan) with Roland GK2 synth pickup. This is one of the qualitative Squier's of the 80's. It is my main guitar for live use. The neck position is filled with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails and the bridge position has a high output humbucker. Between them is an ordinary single coil. | Tokai Love Rock (Les Paul model) sunburst (japan)
with Roland GK2A synth pickup. This is wired to my VG-88 and is the main guitar in my home studio. The pickups don't match the quality of the rest of this wounderful instrument, but I don't care: I only use it to play through the VG-88. The neck is the best thing of all! |
| Fender Stratocaster 68' reissure (Japan). A Seymour Duncan APS Alnico pickup in the neck position. My only guitar with tremolo! | Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer with sequencer |
| Washburn HB-30 semi-acoustic guitar (Korea). Superb pickups and very very low action | Roland CR80 drum machine |
| Washburn acoustic guitar | Admira classical (nylon) guitar |
| Samick bass guitar (5-stringed) with a Japan Fender preamp/EQ built-in | Vantage bass guitar from the 70's |
| Roland GR-33 Guitar synthesizer | Roland GR-50 guitar synthesizer |
| MIDI Foot Keyboard (Bass pedal type) | Kawai K3m synth module (for the Foot Keyboard) |
| M-Audio USB MIDI keyboard | |
| Guitar effects and amps | |
|---|---|
| Boss GT-5 multi effect processor (mostly live use) | Several homemade multi effect units and pedals |
| Cry Baby Wha wha (Jen) | Stellan's modifyed Morley Wha |
| George Dennis Wha/Volume (optical control) | Stereo volume pedals |
| Boss Chorus and Digital Delay pedals | Ibanez FC-10 Distortion pedal |
| Modifyed Laney/Halkan 65 W transistor guitar combo | Two Eminence 12" speaker cabinets |
| Stereo power amp (2x225 W) | Roland VG-88 Virtual Guitar with update to version 2.0
This is my greatest purchase. I can get lovely tele-chrunch guitar, 12-str Rickenbackers, Strats and much more. Even the guitar "synth" sounds are great (VERY few glitches). |
| Ibanez PUE5 multi effect from the 80's. Great! I had almost forgot how superb these effects are... However, the distortion effect is ...not crap.... but only metal toy. | RME 10 home made multi effect |
| Fender Super 60 Rack (60 W Tube amp) | Old small tube radio to be used as guitar amp! |
| Line 6 Guitarport used as USB soundcard only, because the amp simulations are NOT as good as Roland VG-88/Boss GT-5 | Art SGX 2000 Express + X-15 foot control Tube preamp and digital multi effect. |
