[yngzaklynch]

Does anyone know the details of his current rig?

as far as I know he is renting amps and effect in Europe/Asia

EBMM Luke (with RW neck and EMG-X plus regular one)
Marshall amps
Ernie ball volume pedal
Boss Tuner and Delay
Ibanez Tube Screamer

add a comp, chorus and delay from providence while he was in Japan


I hope I can get more info in a few hours as I will attend his concert tonight

Cool. Enjoy the show. Looks like he is boosting a JCM2000 DSL.

This is/was his rig in 2006 - pics from a show in Oslo.

He doesn't use this rig any longer? He always had massive amount of rack mounted gear?

those were the Toto days my friend The band was bringing 4000-5000 fans in one place at one time so I guess the income generated allowed them to carry their own material.

huge logistic support

for his clinics right now and last shows in Asia he was renting amps and pedals and I guess he is traveling only with the guitars (look for Lukather and Povidence on youtube) or check the last song of the interview that Rob posted

nevertheless, even with a few pedals, he still got THAT sound, thanks god he can carry his magic fingers everywhere

According to Luke, he's done with the big rack. Bob Bradshaw is apparently making him a pedalboard with some cool stuff on it.

 

[Slav123]

I guess that he went through rig rehab That's a lot of rack mounted stuff to shed...

I think nothing beats the Petrucci rig from ToT days (size speaking strictly) seriously that thing was BIG. It looked like a deathmatch between Portnoy's equipment and JP's

Luke sure has a very complete setup. I'd be lost on any rig haha

Yeah, the Roadking/Lonestar stereo rig was huge and sounded that way too! Love his Mark V's and it's a good choice, but the Roadking has more brutal gain for songs like Panic Attack, These Walls or As I Am.

Nice rig of Lukather!
