Minimal Gear Day (MGD) Thread

Post by jeremyb »

Since we have an excessive gear thread I thought we could go against the GAS and show off our minimal rigs... this is mine, quite a change from days of old, I now have 0 pedals, MIM Tele, my Ash body, Allparts neck, Telemaster, a coily lava cable and a Katana 50W. Madness.

I have two electric guitars, a single channel amp and a Flint. That’s it, always.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I used to have about 4-5 different drive pedals.

I have a sackful of abbatron plugs, mogami cable.

And now...

1 pedal and 1 patch cable.

Funnily enough I've almost come full circle, when I joined this forum I had one guitar, an M-Audio interface and guitar rig on my laptop... I'm nearly there, except the Katana is just so cheap and good I don't see the point in selling it!
