    wow the blackburst looks like a mix between classic and futuristic. :) pare i highly recommend you to listen to a tube amp, it's worth the exorbitant price haha! will this be for home use lang like practice or for recording? kasi if you're gonna be playing with yourself, este, by yourself lang, i don't see how you can get the maximum benefit of the wireless. oo nga pala lefty ka nga pala, mahirap nga maghanap ng guitars for lefty. if you want you can have one custom made, madami nauuso na custom guitar makers here in the phils :)

    Ok let me try answering my own inquiry on set-up based on what I was able to research so far. Feel free to comment.

     

    First off - the main piece, the axe. I want the classic black Gibson SG. If I could wait it out, I want to get the Robot II which according to my intel will come off the hinges within 4 months. What do you think? Is it worth waiting out? Any experience on the first Robot ? Anyways, Im a lefty, and I was told by a Gibson representative from Nashville (where Gibson parent company is based) that they could customize a Robot II left-handed guitar for for additional yayos.

     

    Second, the amp. Marshall seems to be the one that works best for the Gibson SG. Now the question is what wattage is best for home playing. Is 100 watts low, high or just about right? And what about the model ? I saw the Marshall MG100DFX. It's huge I thought. But then again, the MG50DFX is just slightly smaller and slightly cheaper than the former. I was told that the MG100DFX (DFX stands for Digital Effects; 100 stands for the wattage; MG stands for "My God !" :) ), covers much effects and elimintes use of common effects such as bass chorus and distortion pedals. I was a bit bummed though because I want to learn to play old style, with the use of the pedals.

     

    Third, the footswitch. Not sure if this comes with the amp as some reviews say it does while others don't. So, to be conservative about it, I separated the footswitch, which is used to control the amp by foot.

     

    Fourth, the wireless gig. I've browsed and stumbled upon Sennheiser EW 172 G2. They feature 9 frequency banks in the 518-554 MHz range. I've not yet identified the radar of this gig so feel free to chime in data. The setlist is composed of :

    1) SK 100 G2 bodypack transmitter

    2) EM 100 G2 rack-mount receiver

    3) CI 1 instrument cable

    4) NT 2-1 power supply unit

    5) 2 telescopic antennas

    6) 2 AA batteries

     

    Fifth, the headphone. I have not yet done research on this but would you know of wireless headphones? I mean, it doesn't make sense to play wireless guitar if my headphone is wired, does it?

     

    Please feel free to comment on the set-up, if they make sense. Minus the computer which I already have, Im budgeting not higher than Php150,000. Thanks in advance for feedback, hope I get some.

    ok na yung unang robot pre, ewan ko kung ano diff nung robot 2. sulit na yung features. :) if i were you i wouldn't spend on a wireless, and spend on a good 2nd hand tube amp instead of a marshall mg. sobra yung 100watts for home playing. a tube amp with 15 watts is plenty loud. :)
