Here's mine - we play indie/droney/alt-country/noise-out stuff:
Guitars:
Fender CIJ Jazzmaster
Gretsch Elliott Easton (Open G Tuning)
Rickenbacker 330-12 (drop D)
Takamine EG520s
Line 6 Variax (backup – for all of the above!)
Yamaha SG1300T (with GK3A pickup driving Roland GR20)
Pedals:
Dunlop Crybabby Wah
Boss BCB-60 with:
Boss TU-2
Fretware Sound City Fuzz
Danelectro Rocky Road
Fretware Machine-Gun Repeat
Marshall Vib-Trem
Korg D301 Dynamic Delay
Amp:
Fender Blues Deville 4x10
The Fretware pedals are built by a local amp guru called Don Audio who’s also made stuff for Will Sergeant, John Squire, Brendan Croker and Peter Green. The Fuzz is beautiful – no break-up as notes decay, tons of definition on both chords & single notes. Lovely. The Machine-Gun Repeat is a slightly wonky sounding square-ish wave trem with a non-latching switch which sounds fantastic. The Marshall trem replaced a Boss trem which is gorgeous and undoubtedly a better pedal, but the Marshall cuts it better live, dunno why (heh…2 trems on my board). The Korg delay is superb. Almost completely unreliable, but when it works it’s incredible. I’ve spent the last year looking for THE delay sound and been through four or five delay pedals until I remembered I had this. It’s spray-painted orange to obscure the controls, to help make random sounds. Programmable, too – it’ll hold two sounds. Theoretically. When it works. Which is by no means all the time.
This is about my third board setup this year, and I think I’ve finally nearly got it right. Maybe. Now if I can just find a vintage Boss Analogue delay and find room for a Toadworks Death Rattle…
The DeVille has also had the Don Audio touch, with the result that the drive channel is now actually usable!
I don’t tend to use all the guitars at the same gig, but I like to have them there all the same. Sort of a comfort blanket. Although sometimes I’ll just take out my Squire Strat and the Variax. Consistent I’m not.
