hey guys now that stores are playing christmas music and its getting cold i figured it was time to develop a wish list for myself.
currently i own the following equipment:
guitar: gibson les paul vintage mahogany
amp: dual rectifier
cab: marshall 1960b
now my wish list / desired setup would include:
Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer - $170
Korg DTR 1000 Tuner - $180
Rack unit 4-6- $100-$200
Furman M-8L Power Conditioner - $85
TC Electronic G Major - $400
morely mark tremonti wah- $119
obviously i want as little on the ground as possible
now my first question is if i have a budget of about $300-$500 for now and i want those particular items shown, and suppose i want to buy everything new just to avoid underestimating prices, which items should be at the top of my list assuming i cant have it all unless i get some killer deals or shop used, ebay, etc?
my second question is when i do get the od to run in front of my dual rec, what is the best noise gate to use? ive heard noise suppressors don't do the trick as well when OD-ing a DR with a TS-808. is this correct? also would i need a noise suppressor/gate if i got the G Major?
my last question is about a rack case and i know that this question has been asked several times. i need a 4-6 space rack case that i would be putting either on top or below my head to house the future power conditioner, tuner, and g-major. ideally, it would be nice to put the OD and noise gate in as well to keep things organized. ive heard good things about brands such as gator, ata, and skb. but im looking for bang for the buck so that it isnt years or decades before this poor college kid can have everything he wants in his rack. long story short id like to be able to fit it all in a four space but maybe a 6 may be necessary just in case i expand later?
anyway any advice, opinions, suggestions, or comments about anything ive asked or thought would be greatly appreciated!
