Half the fun of being a musician is, of course, the gear! Tell us about your rig! (and maybe even post pics!)
Here's the heat i'm packing
Pedals: Electro Harmonix NYC Reissure Big Muff Pi, Electro Harmonix Metal Muff, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, Belcat chorus, and an MXR Carbon Copy analog delay (currently my baby!). Of course there's my amp's footswitch too which has switches for switching between Rhytm and Lead channels, turning on the Boost, and turning on the spring reverb.
Amp: Kustom 36' Coupe 1x12 combo in sparkle blue (looks sexy as hell!). Tubes for amp: 4 12AX7's (3 for the preamp, one for PI) and 2 6L6GC's. I dont like the tubes i currently have in it, i experimented and tried a new combination and lost a lot of headroom and tone as a result. my ideal combination is all electro harmonix 12ax7's and Tube Amp Doctor 6L6GC STR's for the power section. sounds ballsy as hell!
Guitars: Dean Avalanche in white (my first guitar), Montana acoustic (cost me 45 bucks brand new! yeah its a POS!), SG Custom Prophecy EX in trans black-burst with a quilted maple top, Candy apple metallic red bass guitar, BC Rich Warlock (currently in pieces)
my picks of choice are the .60mm orange picks by Star Picks. I use Ernie Ball strings. NOT the slinky series! (its for wimps!). I use the Skinny top/Heavy bottom set by Ernie Ball.

I've got a nice-looking Epiphone Les Paul, a Morgan Viking Bass (or something to that effect), a neat little 10 watt amp or so (unfortunately my bass amp is out of commission), A few random wal-mart/kohl's guitars, and my favorite little acoustic that I like to play campfire songs with. xP
Not much to read, a little more to look at, and overall nothing too special but it's what I've got and I'm pretty happy with it. xD I don't have money to spend on fancy equipment and whatnot right now, so I've just got straight outta the store stuff. Works for me. I'm not at the expert level, so this is wonderful for what I do. Just practice, practice, practice, etc., etc., etc...

....thats like...the only thing you read in that post huh? D: typical XD anywayz here are the pics: This is what my pedal board looked like when I was gigging regularly, except everything was strapped down with zip ties so i could just throw the whole thing into a car and slam it on stage and be good to go This is the mess it is now! XD And this is how it looks when youre playing on a dark stage. The blue LEDs from the delay give me seizures @_@ and the trusty guitar rack (warlock not pictured) The lovely amp! too bad the sparkly blue didnt show up in the pic =( controls on the top of the amp. The "rhythm" and "lead" glow blue and red respectively depending on what channel is selected other half of the controls. the jewel light glows blue when the amp is on

Well...I am just a beginning musician when it comes to my own equipment but that I have.....I have a Digital Clavinova. (Digital Piano. It has a lot of options. Too many to type and I can hook it to my awesome comp. Have lots of random music. Not yet starting out my own music.) A purple violin. (A gift from an ex) And the rest of the instruments I have, I don't really play them anymore. (Flute and Clarinet. I seem to be more of the classical piece kinda musician. )

LOL Shay. If I did become a huge classical musician, I would be able to play at fancy places and restaurants. You guys would get a VIP pass from me.
