Beautiful. I love those Heritage AC30s.

One of my favourite rythm guitar sounds at the moment comes from the band Thrice. Their lattest album, Beggars, is nothing but cranked AC30s. Such a raw tone. Dustin plays a Heritage like yours. Great amps

Heres a good example:

Here's some photo's of my recently built pedalboard/case. It was built by my Dad and me and I went with a kind of Pedal Train
design as well as various boards I'd seen. It's worked brilliantly for me so far and I've yet to have any problems with it.
All of the cables are neatly tucked within the board and we cut out holes for the patch leads to come up and under the board. I decided to
have a panel put on the bottom for obvious reasons as it's all enclosed within the case - I'm sure the pics will give a better explanation... anyway!

This is the outside with the lid having 4 latches as opposed to 2.
Image

This is where my Diago power supply is mounted, Underneath the board with a bit of Velcro. Everything is being powered by that at the moment with
the exception of one or two.
Image

Pedals are from left to right - Ernie Ball Volume Pedal - Pro Co Turbo Rat - Vox Big Ben Overdrive - Boss TR-2 - EHX Holy Grail - EHX Memory Toy
EHX Stereo Memory Man w/Hazarai - Korg Pitchblack - Boss DD-5 Nothing extra special on there but I've been building a steady collection for the best part
of a year and I think I'm FINALLY happy with what I have. Some may argue that 3 delay pedals is a bit excessive mind!
Image

This just gives a bit of a indication as to how slanted the board is - It works pretty well for me and I've not had any problems reaching for pedals or it being
too steep.
Image

Hope I haven't just flooded the whole page with this post! I've been meaning to take some photo's to put up in here for a good while.
There's some seriously good gear within this thread!

Cheers man, it took a while to get it just right.

I bought the Big Ben off a friend for £40 a while back and I love it. It works really well on it's own but also coupled with the RAT - It never goes too heavy but just gives a nice warm boost to everything. I replaced the tube that was in it a couple of months back too, just to see if it would make much of a difference but it's not been anything substantial! Overall, really happy with it for what I paid, not sure I'd part with £140(the last time I checked anyway) new though!

i don't think 3 delays is either excessive or redundant. i'm running three in tandem & i am thinking about getting a Memory Toy & 2nd Hazarai.

Yeah well I think as long as you can justify to yourself that it's worth having them all then that's what matters really. I've considered selling the DD-5 a couple of times
but I always change my mind every time I use it. I really love the Memory Toy though, such good value for money!

for some genres employing multiples delays seems almost de rigueur. but yeah i really would like to have a Memory Toy. it is on my list of pedals to get.

this really needs a different cloth. Do not want. The Pearloid would look perfect with a B&B neck though. Why the black pickup covers??

Look pasth the cables young one... you shall see there is light!

The batteries are the better half of my Zvexs. I had them loaded with some old Danelectro batteries to see what they sound like.
G1s are nice with the SHO. All bell like. With the FF on the other hand; Danelectros where it's at.
