How I create my version of music

For all the techy heads out there this is the gear I use onstage.
My main guitar is a Black Les Paul Custom 1974 with a Seymour Duncan custom 5 pickup in the bridge position. Alternatives are a Hamer Californian 1988 in midnight blue and a Tokai Explorer sporting a dimarzio 36th anniversary PAF in the bridge position. This is usually prepared with alternate tunings. The original signal from guitar is fed to an AKG wireless system reciever mounted in my rack. Then straight into my awesome Rivera M100 2x12 combo amp. My Roland GP 16 effects processor is in a loop (used for chorus/reverb/echo sounds) and is switchable in and out from the amp 5 way footswitch. Also my Korg DT1000 tuner is looped through a separate channel on the amp and can also be activated from the 5 way footswich.....(told you this amp is awesome).
Due to my delight with my Rivera I now also possess an R100 2x2 Rivera combo as a backup.
This is the current result of about 20 years tinkering and for the first time I am totally happy with the sound (at least for this week).
