Personally, I plug my guitar into a Behringer USB Guitar Link, which goes into a awesome program called Guitar Rig 3, which has all the pedals and effects I need.
I used to just have an Squier 15W amp though..

How about you?

Yo! I mainly use a Roland Microcube amp. I recently bought a Digi-Tech RP500 and I've been playing with that alot! It has so many different effects, it's unbelievable! :o

I have a Behringer Amp (15W) although I'm thinking of getting a Vox Valvetronic.

For pedals, I have a Korg Toneworks multi effects (super cheap, and great for phaser/flanger/chorus) and a Boss Metal Zone for distortion. Once I can afford another pedal I want the Boss Super Shifter.

Don't get a Valvetronix amp. It may seem like a good idea being that its Vox and somewhat cheap, but it takes the guitar out of the equation. Its a modeler not an amp proper.
I am currently using my Galien Krueger Backline 210 bass amp because I just got my guitar. I am looking into a TS9 as an overdrive pedal and some small, tube amp for practice.

I have a Behringer BXL900 (90w) and a Line6 Bass Pod XT (with FBV Express foot controller) for my bass, I really like both of them.

I have a Line6 Spider III 15w I never use for my guitar (I'd rather put it through the Behringer, frankly) but also a PocketPod and VOX AC-30 amPlug.

The only dedicated effect pedal I have is a Behringer Hell Babe wah pedal, but I fried it. Want to fix that up, and also look into a Boss RC-20XL or Akai E2 Headrush for looping/delay effects.

I use a Peavey Windsor tube head and some kind of Fender cabinet as my amp.
Then the pedals I use are (in this order) a Danelectro FAB chorus, a Boss Flanger, Danelectro FAB overdrive, Fender Blender fuzz, American Big Muff Pi distortion, Crybaby wah, Digitech digital delay, and an Ernie Ball VP JR Volume pedal.
My main guitar is a Fender Mexican Telecaster (standard.)

Guitar/amp: I use my Esp LTD series Eclipse 300 with emg HZ4s through a Blackheart little Giant tube halfstack. Also own a ESP LTD AX-50 with dimebucker in bridge.

Effects: Crappy behringer ultra metal distortion pedal, Digitech Rp 200 Artist series, BBE Sonic Stomp Sonic Maximizer, Ibanez smashbox SM7, and a Danelectro DJ-8 Hash Browns Flanger. EDIT: Picked up an OLD Korg g3 guitar multi effect at a pawn shop for 25$, most natural multi effect Ihave heard very analog sounding. Also looking into a METAL MASTER by digitech and maybe an esp Ninja V. I loves my Esps :P

Let's revive this thread!

I haven't gotten any new bass equipment - usually playing clean into Behringer amp (driven by amp if at all) but I still have the BassPODxt around as well.

For guitar, I got an actual amp (AC15CC) and I got the RC-20 loop station I mentioned last time.

My main overdrive is a Keeley Ibanez TS9; it's simply awesome, and works well on the bass, too.

I've got a Keeley BOSS BD-2 too, but it tends to make the tuning sound off in a way I haven't learned to work with.

I picked up two BBE pedals as they were (are?) on deep discount at Amazon- analog delay Two-Timer and a vibrato/chorus called the Mind Bender (demo of the two together, not my video) Which I haven't messed around with too much yet.

The delay is really short on the Two-Timer, only up to a max of 330ms, I think. Definitely not what I would recommend as a primary delay pedal.

Recently I ordered a couple kits from BuildYourOwnClone to try making my own pedals, working on an octave fuzz pedal and a swell effect pedal right now, but my first soldering attempts have some issues.

So how about everyone else- do you have a long chain of pedals? A single multi-effect into your amp? What do you like/dislike about your setup?

For the amp -- Fender Frontman 15G -- or my various Sound Blasters via a simple instrument cable (the things support ASIO, so... Guitar Rig doesn't work properly on any of my PCs, though, I so use TH-1 Overloud instead)
For the pedals -- Marshall Guv'nor (Overdrive), Marshall Jackhammer (Distortion + Overdrive), Boss OC-3 (Octaver + Distortion). And a nifty KORG tuner that can be plugged into the pedal chain if need be.
