Is a "work rig" a rig at your work or the rig you use to do work (gig)?
Rig you keep at work or bring to work to entertain yourself during slow times or on breaks. I brought a guitar rig today. I'll post pics when I get it set up.
Here's my work rig for the day.

There's really no time or place to make music at work, so I don't have a "work rig." I usually use my breaks to eat and perform other such mundanities...
Haha I can just imagine setting up a rig at work! That would not go down well on so many levels >;]
Ranger whats the thingy with the orange grille in your first pic? Looks kinda like a lil smokey.

Work rig? For the most part that kind of downtime is far too infrequent if I'm back at home base. However, I do want to get an ok travel guitar for those stretches when a hotel room is my office.
Believe me from spring to late summer I have no time for this shit. I work my ass off. So when it comes to rainy cold weather there's some dead time so I might as well brush up on my various chops.
I have a forced lunch hour and a private office. i could work thru it. i could spend the entire hour eating lunch, or i could learn some new shit on lap steel. id rather skip it and go home an hour earlier but oh well.
I write all of our lyrics at work and once in awhile think of riffs and vocal melodies in my head but that's as close as I get.
Work rig today. Little bit of down time.

Been thinking of taking my acoustic into work now that I finally have my own office. Other than that, I've been building up my low wattage home rig for a few years now. 2 little 4 watters and 2 1x12s built by my friend. The bottom cab is still empty. The top has a 25 watt Vox branded greenback.

Put that shit in your office. Not only would it be a great work rig but look cool as fuck too.
:) That would be a waste though. When I play that setup, I'm on it for hours. I would never get anything done if this was at work. No, this is a writing and recording rig. It's in my home office, along with my recording gear, right where it belongs.
How about this little set up? I converted a bookshelf stereo speaker into a 1 watt solid state amp. With a Squire Custom Tele, bridge pup swapped out for a p90 sized Super D.

Work rig today. Just doing some loops.

You really committed to the whole synth/electronic thing, eh?
When I get into something I usually really get into something. Just how I am. I've been playing guitar forever. I take breaks from it. Probably why I'm still kinda sloppy but I always come back to it.
Wish I could've made the transition. The closest I came was the 'cave' setting dimed on my reverb pedal mixed with just enough boost and decay. Neighbor lady thought I had a string quartet in my garage. There were time I thought the swells reached the heavens.

Home office work rig.
Epiphone Valve Standard, Marshall Lead 12. Also pictured is a Trace Elliott Boxer 30 bass amp.
In this pic I am experimenting with using a Boss tuner as a poor man's ABY box to run the Loop Station to it's own separate amp

Daily usage tester rig.
Valve Jr, lotsa mods.Sounds great.
Valve Jr cab, loaded w Weber Fane Clone. Super crunchy rocknroll sound.
Emperor 212, loaded w 25 w English Greenbacks. Warmest, sweetest sounding cab I've ever owned.
SG Standard, loaded w Motorcity Set. Don't think Ive ever liked a guitar more than this one. Hope I get to keep it.
on the wall, Custom Shop Prototype Epi V, USA made, loaded w Motorcity's also.
I love my job.
I should probably mod my EP JR clone sometime. Which mods would you recommend?
that sg is beautiful..

Seconded. I'm sick of my Epi Jr.
And it would look so much sweeter with some Pharaoh knobs.
I bought a Epi Jr. a few years back. It didn't last long. Sold it off right away. Love my little VHT though as it it sits no mods.
Pretty shitty weather so things are a bit slow here today so I brought some toys.

I work at a gigantic music store so I can't really relate to this thread BUT:

Dude I can't believe you're on this forum. I'm the guy who bought the last black and silver Coven from you after Prymaxe messed up my order. I've got a Valve Junior lying around too and would love to know what mods yours has... It sounds excellent in all the demos.

Keeping it simple lately. Little Sound DJ, GarageBand + Musical Typing, Ableton Lite 8, Sennheiser HD280 Pros and coffee.

I really would like to pick up one of those teeny Arturia MIDI controllers to keep in my desk, my new M-Audio one is just WAY too big to have on my desk and not be conspicuous. Aside from the form factor and size that I really like, they're gorgeous. Rager, I know you like Arturia stuff - any input on those cheapie controllers they make? If all else fails, Korg NanoKey and NanoPad will have to suffice.
that arturia beatstep in rager's toy pic is built like a tank. that's my one bit of arturia trivia.
btw, I scored a couple extra usb power supplies for $5 each when I was at odd lots buying Halloween candy. (beatstep runs on 5v usb power)
edit: that sg is in a lot of pedal demo vids. :)
Yesterday I just ran a bunch of modular jams from sites and youtube through some effects and added some stuff.

the LED masking tape on my carbon copy is blue.
I usually use the blue painters tape. It's on my mixer. But goddamn them blinding LEDs. Sorry riffer mark. Don't change a thing. We always have tape. ;D
Do you write a song/jingle for a customer when they buy something?
Or one to woo them over to the R.V. side?
I would be majorly inclined to spend money somewhere that provided a custom song or two for me.
How is that Waldorf Rocket?
Funny you ask. I am gonna sell it. Nothing wrong with it but it is being replaced. I just won't really use it. I have really enjoyed it though. Wanna buy it?
I put an Access Virus B on layaway the other day.
Maybe, I like the smallish footprint. I'll have to look into it more. Let me know how much you want. I stumbled across the Rocket when I was looking at the Waldorf 2 Pole filter (I think that's the name - seems like it's from the same series by Waldorf). How weird can it get, and is it expressive? (Can it be played like an instrument?) I've got random bloops already.
It's a full on synth. Just need a midi controller/keyboard. Sounds big. The controls are kinda different. The knobs are like multi control type things. Not sure how to explain it. Great little synth though. through a nice reverb and it will sound gigantic.
My work rig... at least 1 drawer of it.

really wish I could have instruments at work though :(
I have the same SG only mine is not quite as bursty.... I wish it was more bursty :(
Whatchou do for a living? I wish i could afford Snap-on...
I have those same dykes. Best money ever spent.
I wish I could afford some Lush brand beard care products like tombhex has on his desk.
Fancy.
