One piece of gear you cant live without!

[zrockisaddictin]

id say in what i have now itd be my DS-1 distortion pedal, how bout you guys, it can be anything

 

[Middleman]

My Digitech Genesis 3 modeler with the ControlX floorboard. They don't make them anymore but I still think it was the best amp simulator made other than Sans Amp.

 

[tourettes5139]

My ears.



(Earplugs, too.)

My second (or is it 3rd, now???) peice of gear I couldn't live without would have to be my guitar that I built. I just love that thing to death. It's super sweet. This pic is from when I was still building it, but you get the idea.

Can't live without my piano.

 

[Massive Master]

That's a rough one...

Not counting the monitoring chain & converters...

The Crane Song STC-8M

 

[travelin travis]

my acoustic guitar. if i was on an island, i would have to have it or i'd go ape shit.

 

[gordone]

My Lava Lamp!!!!

(Just kidding!)

Probably my Santa Cruz OM/PW. Great guitar!

 

[David Katauskas]

My vintage Kramer Focus 6000 with lefty neck and EMG81. Ahhhh...lots of memories made with that axe.

 

[giraffe]

sans amp bass di...

maybe seems a little silly, but i've used it
as a bass di
as a git di
as a git or bass distortion stomp box
keyboard di (not quite passable but useable fake leslie distortion)
reamped into it (using it in place of the amp)

thrown it at people..... it goes everywhere.

my Guild D25

 

[Joel Hamilton]

My 33609 compressor. I have "salvaged" entire records worth of poorly tracked sounds with that compressor....

 

[turnitdown]

My Mesa Boogie Quad preamp and modded '87 Charvel.... I think most everything else could be replaced....

I don't think I could "studio" w/o my dual flat screens either.... I Highly recommend them to anyone..... They've really come down in price.

I also love having a control surface.... but they're still not that cheap...

My secret weapon...

 

[c7sus]

The Pace Picante Bong!!!

 

[jeffree]

Definitely, in general, my acoustic guitar. There's nothing for me like the sweet sound of an acoustic, steel or gut.

For a particular brand item, I'd have to say my little Yamaha dd55 digital drum kit. As an able drummer with no room at all for a kit in my studio, I've always been frustrated with loops and drum machines. The cheapo 55 has many limitations but no direct competition, and I now enjoy hearing my drum parts, ones that I actually played. A very cool toy.

I WANT THAT

 

[The Garage]

are ears considered "gear"?

 

[KEVIN1600]

My BOSS BR 1600

 

[junplugged]

i lost my love for gear, if the place burned down i couldn't care. now that i know how to get a long with just about anything, it could all be replaced by something else. if it all burned up, at least it wouldn't be so cluttered anymore

A piano. Nothing compares.
