Its not as heavy as it looks, although I never built a proper cover for it. Most of the pedals have changed.

that looks like its on WAY too much of an incline lol


and dude... justin....godly lol

[rustynuts]

That's a pretty steep angle, isn't it?

[SpankyPants]

Not if you're performing in a La-z-boy.

The incline is actually not as bad as it looks, that picture is at a weird angle. But I find that I like it at a higher angle than a lot of other people. What is the point of having a second row if you have to tip-toe over the front row pedals?

As for the Justin-wannabe-factor, I agree, and that is why I prefaced the post by saying that most of the pedals have changed. The board now no longer resembles Justin's at ALL.

[SpankyPants]

Yeah, right. Poser.

Yeah, I thought about doing tiers, but I found that I liked it better having my pedals at an angle.

And yeah, there is quite a lot of Justin posing around here, so we're definitely not alone on that one. I found it hard NOT to do that, since my band covered like 6 Tool songs.

haha in all the band iv been in in the past 5 years, we have only covered 1 tool song, its made me very sad to not have been able to cover more but it was schism so i got to do the cool whammy stuff lol

Well, it's getting there...A couple more days and it should be done. It's lighter than I thought it would be at 8 pounds, including the power outlets and cord. I was thinking it would be heavier than that.

The tier is tilted at a 10 degree angle, and I might just make a little step in front of the outlets to set effects on and then run a looper in the very front. Haven't decided yet.

Looks great! Only one thing, though,... do you have enough AC outlets?

I should hope so....The most effects I could put on this thing would be 12, which would leave me one shy, but I should wind up with eleven including the looper. (The EB VPJR is passive, no juice to it.)

I think.

You mean like a DC block? I've had one go bad on me before and it ruined the whole night. Never again.
