Wayne Static is an American musician, and currently the singer, guitarist, keyboardist, and programmer for the industrial metal band Static-X.

Wayne's rig is super affordable and very minimal. This is the type of rig anybody can own.

"You don't have to pay a lot of money for great gear...the gear I play is very affordable." - Wayne Static in a gearwire interview video

Let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in Static X Wayne Static's Guitar Rig.

Quoting Andy:
In a interview on youtube he says he uses Marshall solid state because its cheap and it does not break down during sets.

Yes, he did use Marshall Valvestate 8100 head (you can also see this amp on Static-X live videos), which is a relly good amp. This amp have only one 12ax7 in preamp.

I just toured with them around Europe last year and they didn't use heads or cabs! All he used was a rack which had 2 rackmount line 6 pods and 2 wireless units. It then went straight to the PA! That was it! No pedals and no cabs!

Solid State amps get a pretty bad rap, they aren't as [censored] as everyone makes out (cue the epic rage at me). SS amps give a different tone to tube amps, it's much harsher and fuzzier. Additionally they don't break down as much and are generally cheaper.

Wayne said this regarding the Cult of Static recording:
"Anything goes in the studio. I used an ESP Baritone guitar, a Marshall head and a Rivera head for the rhythm sound. Koichi used guitar rig on his Macbook for his solos."

His sound on the last album (Cult of Static) is different to the previous one.
Can anyone explain why?

wayne has a new esp v guitar instead of his explorer style guitar, it's on esp's website. and to the "cheap crap" comment, just because it's cheap and a solid state doesn't make it a crappy amp. it just goes to show you don't need a $2000 amp to get a good sound.

everything here looks about right, the only thing i see to be wrong is the cab. im pretty sure he uses the MG head but goes into a Marshall 1960 A cab (but you did get the speakers right)
