Current setup: Ibanez Universe guitars into Line 6 Helix Lite into Carvin TS100 Power amp, Engl Cab. Live it’s Helix into Backline return in the fx loop (PA section of amp), and other jack is DI straight to soundman. PERFECT.

My current rig. This is what Ryan Bailey helps me out with. I’ll be using 8 snapshots, more or less. Just watch the vid.

This lovely green beast is the last 7 string I’ll ever need. The Ibanez Universe UV777. Only 340 were made. Every now and then you’ll see them on Ebay for $3k – $5k. One day I’ll own one. But, having said this, I am extremely ecstatic for the guitars I already have. Both my current guitars kick ass, and are VERY easy to play.
