My Gear Rundown

Here is my guitar rig, as long awaited. The setup usually goes guitar - Line6 Pod Go Digital Effects Processor, into Marshall stack, then into PreSonus Quantum ES2. 

Line6 Pod Go Wireless:

Bought new this year from a local guitar store, this is my main preset. Due to my LPJ, I have a Gate on, distortion, delay, flanger and phaser. Its a wireless system but I do keep spare cables just incase.

Marshall MG100HDFX Head with Marshall MG412A Cabinet:

I actually got this for free. I had a Laney TF300, Tube Fusion amp combo, and I saw this on Marketplace. It was at a really low price, since only the clean channel was working. My TF was working, and the guy wanted something smaller. So, we traded. I got it home, dropped the chassis, cleaned the pots and now its fully functional. Only complaint is when using the modulated line out, I wish they included a volume knob, its wayyyy too quiet.

Before I show you the guitars, Ill start with microphones. My live is a Shure PGA58, whilst my instrument and studio vocal mic is a Audio Technica 2040. My headphones are Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X headphones.

Guitars: 

These are all the guitars I could record with right now. There are 3 more. One needs a whole new neck, and one needs the pots dropped, cleaned, services and new strings. I apologise for timing issues, these were not recorded properly or with a click at all.

2026 Epiphone Les Paul Junior:

I bought myself this guitar for my birthday this year, it just got released. I always loved the TV Yellow LPJs. This still has the original Gibson strings, P90 pickup, came with a gig back which is pretty cool. Its my main guitar. The only modifying I did was to add a spacer to the input jack to make it work with the Line6.

2002 Squier Tom DeLonge Stratocaster:

This was my first signature guitar ever. Those who know, know that Tom DeLonge is my biggest musical influence, I saw this for sale around April/May last year on eBay, so I bought it. Panicked when the shipping company said they were delivering it to the wrong address, but it got here fine. 10-52 strings, Paradigm. This has strap locks.

2010 Epiphone Tom DeLonge 333:

I saw this around October for sale last year, it was not in great condition, and everyone I spoke to about it believed it would be really hard to refinish it properly. So, I've been trying different relicing options like Tom did. I had burned it awhile ago, but my current plan is sanding it back, seeing how that looks, and then maybe spray painting it. Again, 10-52 Paradigms. Strap locks too.

Antiquity 335:

This I got really cheap, it was around £100, so I made it into a replica of Tom's Box Car Racer 335. Invader in the bridge, 500K pot, sticker pack from House95. Some of you may saw this had a warped neck and a stuck truss rod, but I got it free, and now it works perfectly and holds great tune. I bought this last year too, in May I think. Standard 10-52 Ernie Ball strings. Mark Hoppus strap. 

Blue:

This is something cool as fuck. I got into Green Day after a breakup in 2021, I was working at a university over the summer, and getting paid quite well, and so I bought this. Had terrible stickers, unknown pickups, 250k pots, it was not good. But I restickered it, I did the tape, put a Seymour Duncan SH4JB in the bridge, 500k pot, everything else is disconnected. Ernie Ball Classic Rock strings. This is the guitar Ive owned the longest.

1982 Fender Sunn Mustang:

You can see my other blog post on this, but I fixed the string height issues this did have, and this is the bridge pickup! This is the oldest guitar I own

Other Guitars I own:

I did also record a small clip of my bass, but I decided against posting it. Im getting rid of it next month for a major upgrade. The weight is wrong, and I bought it in a hurry for recording for maybe £5. So yeah, youll see the new one soon.

Software:

I primarily record within Pro Tools, I went to college for music a few years back and feel really familiar with it. I pay for a subscription, and have a lot of plugins within my iLok drive. I also own a license to Fender Studio One that I got with my PreSonus Interface. I mix and master all my tracks right now.

Conclusion:

I play Dunlop Supergrip 0.88mm picks, Ernie Ball strings, transitioning to Paradigm strings when available. I love Seymour Duncan pickups, Gibson, Fender. Marshall make great amps and I do want Billie Joe's new amp too, Im waiting for it to arrive at my local guitar place. I will update this with the 3 missing guitars as soon as I can. Let me know which is your favourite, and anything you wanna know or see next!
