What would your rig be if you could have only 1 amp, 1 guitar, and 1 pedal?
Here are some guidelines:
(1) You don't have to have owned any of this gear. It can be dream gear.
(2) You can't say a Fractal or amp simulator of any kind. It has to be a physical amp.
(3) The pedal can't be some kind of honkin' multi-function thing. I'm thinking of basically one effect.
(4) If you want to substitute an outboard 6G15 reverb unit (or any other) for the pedal, you can.
I haven't played through enough stuff to speak intelligently of a dream rig (though I imagine a brown Tolex Fender could be my amp in that scenario), so I'll stick with some things I know. For now:
AMP: vintage Deluxe Reverb
GUITAR: 50's-style Les Paul with P-90's
PEDAL: Boss Blues Driver
Hey, Fantasyland is cool, too.Fantasyland:
Memphis 335
Catalinbread Echoplex emulator

1) An old style Tele (my 52 AVRI will do, as also my Baja 60s)
2) Tube Screamer
3) a nice BF amp (I guess the desert island one would be a DR) or a 5E3 (I have yet to try one… next on my to-do list). If I have neighbours I might disturb, change that to a BF/SF vibro champ and 5F1 or similar
Sorry! Not that original!
This week:
Gibson LP Special with P90s. Maybe you could talk me into a semi-hollowbody instead?
Fender EC Vibro Champ (Tweed with built in tremolo). You could talk me into a larger Tweed as long as it's got trem--a Tremolux maybe?
A Klone Clone (I've got the MXR Sugar Drive).
Or I could plug a Taylor 812 into the board.
6 months ago I probably would have said a Hot Rod Tele or a Martin 28 HD V.
If it's an amp without trem, the Sugar Drive disappears and a trem pedal takes its place.
Plan A:
Most likely, guitar on the left. It’s been with me for 39 years and counting.

39 years? Wow, I love my Ibanez guitars and I didn't know that Ibanez made semi-hollowbody guitars that long ago! What year is it?- it is a very cool guitar!
I just had a LIKE on a post I made to this thread in January of 2018. So I read what I wrote and not a single bit of it would be the same today. So, I guess I'm another:
This week, it's......
I don't change things up THAT often, but over the course of a couple years, I'm bound to change some stuff.
