Schecter 006 Hellraiser
Fender Frontman 212R
Boss GT8
HardWire CM-2 Tube Overdrive
1960's Harmony Rocket (I think it's a Rocket -- Not this colour, though)
Cool choices! Digitech has entered the "high-end" pedal market with the HardWire line.
The Harmony ain't too shabby either! I'm surprised why vintage Harmony guitars
are not that popular. They play and sound true.

To be honest with you, my live setup is usually just

1. Squier Strat (almost always 4th position with the tone pot on the middle pup dialed down to about 4)
2. HardWire pedal (Classic switch, Highs - 4, Lows - 6, Gain - 3) -- Usually off unless I need it.
3. Frontman 212R (Treble - 6, Midrange - 3, Bass - 7, Reverb - 7)

Closest thing I've ever heard to John Mayer's tone in songs like Gravity, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, Waiting on the World to Change, Vultures, etc. We're not talking off Continuum, I mean his tone off of Where The Light Is.

If you switch the Hardwire pedal to Modern tone and crank the gain to about 8, it sounds just like Good Love Is On The Way.

Yes, I bought a rig to sound like John Mayer.
>_>

John Mayer is big on compressors, isn't he?
He's a HUGE gear freak and he owns a lot of hyped gear.

I myself chase his tone which is just a copy of SRV's.
That's when I use a Strat.
BTW, off the stage, he's a huge D-bag.
On the other hand, my axes are mainly Les Pauls.

Truesay about that. His tone on Where The Light Is is either imitation SRV or Hendrix (which for some reason I only noticed the other day when listening to an old Hendrix album I have).

And his douchebaggery makes him hilarious lol. Ever seen these? Some of the funniest clips ever.

Seen the first one before and the second one is hilarious!

He's a funny guy but sometimes he just thinks highly of himself.

I dig his music though.

I really want to start a band as well. It's been a long-time dream of mine to be the lead vocalist for a good band that people will actually listen to. I'm a fairly decent vocalist, and I don't expect super-skilled musicians to accompany me, all are welcome to play, but skill would be an asset.

I'm looking to play something sort of post-rock, alternative, emotional, powerful kind of stuff. If you want a couple of examples, think of a cross between Sigur Ros, Silversun Pickups and Brand New. Other influences include Envy if you've heard of them, Radiohead, Pink Floyd.

Send me a private message if you're interested. I'm not sure if anyone from this thread would be into that kind of stuff, but I did happen to notice that you wienerjc listen to Sigur Ros.

Here's some pictures of some of my gear:

-Ibanez GSR200FM and Seagull S6 Folk
-Fender Telecaster/Vox AC30 that I share with my brother
- And my kazoo which is really an underappreciated instrument. Everything needs more kazoos.

I absolutely agree - kazoos are almost as important as cowbells.
