    I was tech crew for a GenAxe show a few years back. Malmsteens amp rig was twelve 4x12 cabs and 25 Marshall heads. Most were JCM heads and cabs that were on loan from Marshall and turned on all day to "glow". His actual rig was two Marshall YJM Heads and two Marshall YJM cabs (one on each side of the rig). Everything else was for show. And it took most the longest of all the rigs to set up. FUN FACT: I got there at 8am and Yngwie was wearing his stage outfit all day, his soundcheck took the longest, he was doing the tricks and kicking picks out to an empty crowd during soundcheck, treated his tech like garbage, and ate the most McDonalds I have ever seen anyone eat.

    I remember reading an article in some magazine (Guitarist maybe?) about the design process for the original USA EVH Wolfgang. It was very clear that Eddie wanted the guitars in production to be exactly what he needed on the road. Everything bulletproof and made to his specs, no mods necessary. The friction of the volume and tone pots. The gear ratio of the tuners. The orientation of the switch. The thickness of the finish. The position of the bridge pickup to within 1/32 of an inch. It all had to be perfect so that if you handed him one off the rack and told him to do a world tour with it, he could.

    Sugizo from Luna Sea has the most expensive rig in the world, and also the biggest. beating out Kevin Shields by a few effects. He's running so many effects that his board is controlled by 3 laptops which are in turn controlled by three separate stage pedalboards. He's also running a full violin rig. All of that is going into at least 5 original 5150's (sometimes 6505's for overseas touring). A friend and I got to about $450,000 before we gave up trying to figure out how much his full rig is actually worth. And that's before the 20 or so ESP Custom Shop guitars he uses, and the one-off ESP Violin.

    Pretty sure he had a quite simple rig back then up to DSOTM, he started to upgrade it from Animals forward. The thing is a lot of the stuff he used back then it's now collectors items so the prices are through the roof. It would be difficult to estimate a realistic price for the time. He basically had the strat, 2x Hiwatt dr103, 2x WEM Starfinder, a fuzz face, a wah, an electric mistress and a Binson Echorec. I don't know if he already had the rotary speaker. If you take like the Pompei live in 2016 then his rig was full of boutique or modded pedals

    A couple of things you should also consider is the cost to have the rigs designed and built. My company (Rack Systems) built Eddies rig. Rack case, cables and labor etc. And also understand there is always an A and a B rig, so multiply everything by two. We did Joes rig several years ago and his rig was very simple, so his cost was relatively low compared to Eddies rig or someone like Cantrell who has a huge rig.

Two Orange (black) 400w 4x12s bought years ago at different times, one bought empty, around £650, the empty one I don't remember but maybe just below £250 & I fitted Weber Gray & Silver Wolfs which were around £100 each. Fender Telecaster 72 Deluxe which has been highly modded, Rubezhal pickups & wiring which were a kind gift, Hipshot open gear tuners £90, Kluson Fender USA style bridge £80(?), £15 Graphtech nut. Pedalboard, varies but maybe around £600 for small/medium sized setup. Yep. All paid for (other than several pedals & pickups which were gifts) through hard 48hrs a week work. Lol.

    I'm a harmonica player and I often play through a Line 6 Micro Spider plugged in the desk live. Last night at a local blues jam there was a very seasoned & well oiled blues guitarist with his top of the line Strat, thousands of dollars of pedals and a decent Fender amp. He played some great solos but then I launched in with a good solo as a response and everyone applauded at the end. So with a mic that's about $160, an amp that I paid $160 for and a few harmonicas I created more impression on the audience than a decent guitarist with thousands of dollars of gear.

I mean damn it 95% of the audience cant tell the difference between my amp and a valve amp worth $1000 so for lower profile shows and recordings it makes zero difference.

    Hey man, love your videos. I have one suggestion though. When you're showing the price breakdown of each pedal/amp section, you should keep the final amount out of it until after you've gone though everything. I appreciate that anyone who can do basic maths would just be able to add it up on the fly, but for casual viewers the big reveal is a bit more exciting and it would probably keep people hooked. Anyways, again, love the videos and nothing I just mentioned ruined the video for me.

    Wasn't he running 4 x Eventide H-8000FW's and 4 x Eclipse'? Think H-8000fw's new were like $5k each new, then all of the other gear involved. Another interesting one would be John Petrucci's early noughties setup - the huge double rack, with 3 x Mesa MkiiC+'s. Some of Steve Steven's setups from back in the day, as well. Reason I suggest these is their gear isn't unobtanium like the JoBo's and Mayer's.

    It's a really interesting exercise. Probably not very accurate, but still interesting. There's a lot unaccounted for in the calculations. For instance, Angus Young has so many amps in his rig because they are constantly breaking and he has a full-time amp tech fixing them on the road. That one guy alone probably costs well past $100k per year to keep on the payroll plus to transport, feed, and house. That's not counting the costs of spare parts.
