Hello everyone!

I cannot tell how frustated I feel when I see the rack of some guitarrist I like. It seems that the rack is full of things I don't know at all what they're used for. I thought that with the amp head the thing is enough, but... wtf, they use a lot of stuff!

An example taken from this topic:

It's Jerry Cantrell's rack. I'd like to ask if someone is patiente enough to explain the units on his rack... Im not asking for a detailed description, just a brief one that clarifies in some way this to me and maybe to many others too!

Ill tell you what I get from this in order to help the people underestand what I dont know:

(from up to down)

The first thing seems to be a wireless unit for the guitar jack.

The second and third seems to be some kind of effect processor...

Fourth: wtf is this xD

5: a tuner?

6: A/B switcher?

7, 8, 9, 10, 11???

TIA!
 
1st and 2nd row - Wireless units
3rd row - Multi-Selector box (routes one input to up to four outputs or vice versa - probably combining the outputs of the four wireless setups and sending them to the amp chain)
4th row - Furman power conditioner
5th row - Radial JD7 guitar splitter (routes the guitar signal to different amps / effects, probably taking the signal from the Multi-Selector and routing it to his amps/effects)
-----blank rack spaces------
6th row - Palmer amp/speaker simulator (for running amps into a D.I.)
7th row - Furman power conditioner
8th row - Bogner Fish guitar preamp
9th row - Mesa 2:90 guitar power amp
