If you could only have 2 amps/guitars

Say you could only have 2 amps, 2 guitars and 2 pedals. Further, say everything had to be stock, 'normal' gear. What would you pick?

A tough call but, I think I would opt for a Tele, a 335, an AC30 and a Super Reverb with a booster pedal and a delay.

PRS Swamp Ash Special
Martin DC-16 RGT

Black Cat 1x12 Combo (My 2x12 is too heavy)
Scottls Baby Fuchs

Visual Sound H2O Liquid Chorus.

I think I could cover almost all of my bases with this stuff.

tough call.....amp wise I'll choose my Voodoo amps V-plex and one of these:

Baka 50
Bruno UG
Fuchs OD 50
Bad cat Hot cat 30

Since they are all head amps I need a cab:

For the the V-plex an old 60's Marshall cab (with the basket weave grill) loaded with pre-rola G12M and G12H

or a very good 2x12 with same speakers, for both amps.

Guitar:

Gauge custom guitars

Pedals:

MXR 6 band eq
Keeley Compressor

Since I'll be using just 1 guitar (if I can cheat) I'll substitue the guitar for an attenuator.

I'd go with a Strat and a Les Paul, my Laney LC-50II and Deluxe Reverb, with wah and delay pedals.

I would have 2 Les Pauls: a 54 P-90 Goldtop and a 58.

The two amps would be a Jamison combo and the K30.

I would want a univibe and a boost.

Stuff I own or anything I want?

Own now:

Guitars:

PRS McCarty (will be replaced with my Thorn when it's finished!). Dead stock except for added Tonepros and straplocks.

Fender CS '54 Strat - Ash body in 'burst, birdeye maple neck

Amps:

Mesa Boogie Nomad 55 w/ 212 Rectifier cab

Fuchs Modded Fender DRRI


Anything I want? I'd take my upcoming Thorn and Strat for guitars, the strat kills and I'm sure that my Thorn will be "pretty good"! For amps I would like to run maybe a Komet and one of Andy's production Fuchs. Then again the Aikens are very sweet and I'd like to check out Doug's Rocca's....

Crap, too much great gear out there!

I think I'd do the Rory Gallagher on the amps. Tweed twin and AC30.

Guitars - Strat or Tele and a Les Paul Jr.

That's terrible of you to put the guys on this site through such a horrific emotional and potentially psychologically damaging train of thought. But since it may never have to happen, I guess it's OK.

Hmmm, tough. At the moment:

Guitars: PRS CE-22 & Fender Strat

Amps: BF/SF Pro Reverb & and a Marshall-ish head/cab

Peds: Overdrive and echo (is the TTE a pedal?)

Whew. I think I've changed my position on this thread. It's actually been quite theraputic to indulge in this tragic fantasy of sorts. Perhaps it's possible to be happy with just two of each??

I'd say for guitars it would be my 335 and my Tele. For amps it would be my Sewell Texaplex and my old Magnatone Lyric 115.
