Nice, but I have to ask, why is it called an Amish Murderer Chair?
On the manufacturer's tag under the seat is the name of the builder, Eli Weaver. Google him. :eek:

I didn't know about this until after buying the (very comfortable to sit on while practicing) chair and seeing the tag, whereupon I Googled it to learn more about the chair I had just purchased.
 
The Music Room is still growing - two guitars were added this week and I'll need to update the photo...

I work remote at home, so half is my Bass Room, and the other half is my office for work.

I did play this morning, so these pics were taken today. I have a bad case of OCD when it comes to cable management, so all the cables in the pic stays at home. I use separate cables only for gigs and church... so it doesn't take long to set things back up when I get home.

I only take the top rack (wireless gear), pedalboard, and bassboard when I gig or play at church. If you are wondering why there is painters tape on my Fender Jazz, I'll prepping it to router and mod it with an active preamp and pup's.
 
I’ve kept gig gear completely separate from my practice stuff so when it’s time to throw stuff in the car I don’t unhook anything. Everything I need is right there. It makes life much easier. The only overlap might be a bass. That I can just put in a case. All cables , tuners and whatnot are separate.

When I was gigging, I also kept practice gear separate from gigging gear. I even had a different amp I kept at our practice space. The only things that shared space were my bass and pedal board, maybe some cables, and microphone.
 
How was the Sisma? I’m very curious about those.
Let's just say that if I were still gigging and had the coin for one, I would have bought a Sisma. Very smooth, clear sounding with a nice deep bottom-end extension, no harsh trebles, and simple and effective tone controls. Compared to most micro amps I have owned it was on the heavier side, but in a good way; it had a solid feel to it and all the controls. It was in the same weight class as the three Walter Woods amps I've owned, making the Tone Hammer 500 I currently have feel like there is nothing inside it.

I pulled the top off of the Sisma to see how changing the preamp tube would be; there is not much room for my fingers to grab the tube to pull it out without worrying about damage to the circuit board around it, the tube, or my fingers. There are so many circuit boards packed tightly inside that I would imagine servicing the amp would get expensive on the labor side of the equation.

Updated my music setup again from my post above... it never ends...

I needed more space in my home office/music room for rehearsals, or just having friends over to play music. I wanted a rolling rack... but not a gig rack that I would put in a car, or travel with... which are too bulky for my office. A 12U Network rack with wheels would be perfect for home... but all I could find were racks with square holes.

I finally found a 12U Network Rack that had 10-32 round tapped holes for music racked gear during the Amazon Black Friday sale ($50 discount)...

It fit nicely under my desk, and easy to roll in the house if we want to rehearse or play music in a larger room if my office is too crowded.

We just had rehearsals yesterday, so my office pretty much is set up like what I posted above... but the rack is different. The guitar and keyboard are my kids and wife's as a place holder for the picture. Yesterday... there was a Custom Tele, and a Nord Stage keyboard there... The acoustic drums is using a Roland V-drums module and triggers... and they all sounded amazing through our IEM personal stereo mixes that we control individually through our mobile phone/devices. I used my Mac to control my mix. :)
