I realised I had my camera in my bag last saturday, so I snapped some quickie pics of the gear I typically shlep to a gig :
The guitars - my trusty '62 X175, and my tele, a Japanese 50's RI that I've had for a long time, great little guitar. Nothing original on it except the wood though! You can also see my Mergili Reverb/Tremolo tank in this pic :
The amp I use most, a 2005 Headstrong "Blue Lamp" (really a copy of a late 50's Fender Bandmaster) that's been modified with a late 60's Super Reverb output transformer. I have a NOS Philips 5751 tube in V1, and two NOS RCA 12AX7's, an old Russian GZ34 rectifier tube my tech has a pallet of that actually behaves more like a 5U4, and TAD 6L6's. Amp currently has two Weber 10A125 speakers in it (Jensen P10Q copies), and an Eminence Copperhead ceramic. I'm pretty manic about speakers though, and that lone ceramic gets switched out quite a bit. I'm liking this combo though.
Pedals - A BYOC delay that I bought assembled, a BigfootFX Magnavibe vibrato pedal I got from forum member Mad Dog, and a EH LPB1 booster I use for a slight boost on one or two tunes. The big black thing is the Reverb/Tremolo on/off footswitch for the Mergili box. I usually have a Fulltone Déja Vibe univibe clone with me too, not last saturday though.
