Electric guitar:

Ibanez Roadstar II, RS205WH (1983)

Several modifications by myself:
- original pick-up switch (5 positions) replaced with
separate switches per pick-up, gives me the extra
combination between the bridge and neck pick-up.
- single-coil bridge pick-up replaced with a humbucker.
- extra switch added (between the phase-switch and
the jack-plug) for a cable-driver (enables the use of
cables longer than 6 meters without losing any high
frequencies).
- original black volume and tone dials replaced with
white ones.

 

 

 

Line6 Toneport UX2

Double PreAmp for guitar, bass or microphones (incl. 48V phantom power) with sound modeling via the Gearbox-software. With this preamp you can not just convert an analog signal from e.g. the guitar to a digital signal, but you can also model the sound to your liking, by specifying the amplifier brand, the type of speaker cabinet and the make and placing of the recording mike.
Oh yes: and a wide range of stompbox effects as well.
This will provide you with a broad range of guitar sounds.
