Desert Island Rig

Post by MiniForklift »

Yes, you can assume that there’s a power supply on this island. One guitar, one amp and one pedal with price no barrier. You’re also allowed one album - what y’all choosing? I’ll start…

‘59 Les Paul
Dumble Overdrive Special
Vintage EHX Deluxe Memory Man

Gary Moore - Blues Alive

Hmmmm, couple ways I could go, but on this particular day I’ll go with:

Old, smelly TV yellow, double cut LP Special
Old Princeton Reverb
I’m going to go for a Line 6 DL4. Lots of options of delay to change things up, plus the looper. Plus the nostalgia factor of my youth.

Is it wrong that my first thought was of the desert climate, and how it's going to wreak havoc on that poor thing? :think:

Funny how nobody has chosen an overdrive pedal yet haha. My thinking was that you wouldn’t need one because you’re on an island so can crank the amp! You’d also have to assume that getting replacement tubes is not an issue…
