Ok, the guitar I listed is the first Ibanez I ever bought. Of my four guitars, it is my fav go-to guitar. I have shielded the p-up and control cavities with copper tape, replaced the stock p-ups with Dimarzio p-ups. It has an Air Norton in the neck, VirtuAL in the middle, and a Steve's Special in the bridge.
I bought the Road King II around June 2006 as a simpler alternative to my rack setup. It is like having four different amps, or one clean amp and three different dirt/distortion pedals plus reverb.
I have not used a dirt/dist pedal ever since I switched to a rack setup around 1999/2000. I don't really need one now because of the amps dirt/dist capabilities. So I just listed the amp's controller as Pedal 1 because you can think of it as three different dist/dirt pedals plus reverb.
Pedal 2: The ISP Decimator is one of the best noise gates available. I used it in the past to feed my rack preamp a clean signal. I have not used it with the RKII though.
Pedal 3: The modded wah actually belongs to someone else who had me mod it for him. It is a Dunlop Crybaby which has been modded to true hardwire bypass, adjustable Q (voice), adjustable gain (which also increases the bass response), and selectable sweep range (from treble-y to low-midrange-y), a switchable taper mod (traditional Hotz-Potz taper to simulated Icar taper), and most importantly: an Ultra-Bright Blue indicator LED.
We play anywhere from soft ballad-y stuff to heavy hard rock stuff. We do not really play any brutally heavy type stuff but I have used the RKII's Channel 4 on modern setting on some songs. If I tell you where we play this stuff, you probably will not believe me. Are you ready for this? We play in church (check out dreamcenter.org or angelustemple.org).
