Realize this is an old thread and that the last post is kind of old as well, but it was the newest one I could find among the search results I got on this topic, so I guess I will do an attempt to raise it from the dead.

So... Here's my one and only guitar setup/rig, I suppose not quite as impressive as some, but personally I am actually really satisfied with how it works for me :
My only electric guitar currently, a lowly, but non the less very much beloved, and actually great playing,
Epiphone SG Special from 2012, which I gave the name
"Epicphonya", with various visual mods done to it, and just a couple of days ago having a set of IronGear Blues Engine neck + Dirty Torque bridge pickups installed in it, as I had had enough with trying to adjust the crappy stock pickups into sounding good (have owned several electric guitars over time, and even a couple of relatively high end ones, but never actually owned more than one at any given time, and for several years I had bass as my main instrument of choice, even if I kept playing guitar on the side line all along, and even if guitar was actually the instrument that I originally started out learning how to play) :
And here's my guitar amp, a great sounding 160W solid state
Peavey Solo Special 112 combo, which I gave the name
"The Pea", and that I bought used for the steal of just about what equals 75$, even in absolute perfect condition, equipped with the stock 12" Scorpion speaker unit (The dirt channel in my opinion sounds like crap, but I predominantly play completely clean, for which I actually prefer SS amps over tube amps, and this Peavey, like most of their older SS amps really, is a superb example of that, and I can still get the dirt I personally like perfectly well from pedals), the big pedal on top of it being an
EHX Black Finger, a tube driven optical compressor, which 2 preamp tubes run at proper high 300V voltage, and which to me just seems to improve the tone of everything going through it, which is why it is an always on pedal for me, placed as the last thing in my signal chain, just before going into the amp :
And finally here's my pedal setup, which is soon to be updated with a Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler multi effect, that I plan to primarily use as my main delay unit, as well as I soon will get a proper pedal board for mounting the pedals on :
Making the complete signal path of my guitar setup/rig be as follows :
Epiphone SG Special (black with various visual mods and a set of IronGear Blues Engine (neck) + Dirty Torque (bridge) pickups installed) ->->
Mosky Black Rat (Rat clone, in Vintage mode, set to a medium gain type of distortion, always used stacked with the American Sound overdrive) -> Joyo American Sound (set to a lower medium gain type of overdrive, sometimes used stacked with the Black Rat) -> { Behringer UT100 Ultra Tremolo (sometimes combined with the chorus, and always used in conjunction with the Artec equalizer in front of it as a slight boost, due to a slight volume drop when engaged) -> Artec SE-EQ8 Graphic EQ (exclusively used to boost the volume of tremolo behind it slightly, only using it's level [Gain] control) } -> Zoom MS-70 CDR Multi Stomp (exclusively used for a really lush chorus effect with a relatively high rate setting, for which a vibrato effect mixed with clean signal is used, almost always used combined with the tremolo) } -> Boss LS-2 [A+B Mix<->Bypass] (parallel effects loop pedal) -> ={ Loop A of LS-2 Send -> Monarch MFL-22 (flanger, almost always used in conjunction with the phaser in effects Loop B) -> Loop A of LS-2 Return >||< Loop B of LS-2 Send -> XVive V6 Phaser King (using an almost maxed out feedback setting, and almost always used in conjunction with the flanger in effects Loop A) -> Loop B of LS-2 Return (Loop A/Loop B mixed at an about 50/50 ratio) }=> / [Bypass] -> Output of LS-2 -> Zoom G1Xon (digital multi effect, used for my always on plate reverb, and additionally also being used for respectively a "clean" and a modulated delay/reverb pad effect)
->-> EHX Black Finger (always on tube driven optical compressor, set to a relatively slow attack time and with a high threshold) -> Peavey Solo Special 112 (160W solid state combo amp, equipped with a 12" Scorpion speaker unit, with the Bright switch engaged [+6dB @ 2kHz], the passive EQ's Mid control set at about 2 o'clock, High to at about 1 o'clock, and the active Presence control set to boost the highest frequencies just about 1dB)
