Yaaa.... I'm thinking about building a smaller one just for the Mesa footswitch and tuner. That way if I don't wanna use pedals I don't have to deal with that giant pedalboard, and it will only require one instrument cable leaving the signal clean.
I guess-alright, know- I'm weird, but I only use one pedal(EHX MicroPOG)and then only when we have to work as a trio instead of all 4 of us. I kick in the upper octave when the guitarist solos-fills it up.

I just like messing around with effects, mainly modulation (wah, flanger), rarely use my distortion or overdrive effects lately.... then there's utility pedals, tuner and noise suppressor that come in handy but are more... well utilitarian
 
Ok, translation;

Me too! Ampeg? No. Sunn, GK, Eden. T Birds with Ampegs is like strawberry ice cream with oysters...

:thumbsup:

But any ice cream flavour would be crook in this example.

My Dad used to say ‘ice cream and pickles’ when asked what he wanted to eat. Story goes that one of my Aunts pre-prepared for his visit and served him a bowl...

My mom used to ask my dad what he would like for dessert. He'd always say "Olive shortcake", so one night she made it for him. That was the end of That gag.:laugh:
 

Hafta hire a crew from "Labor Pool" to move it.:jawdrop::wideyed::help:

Psshhhhh, I move these bastards all the time, they roll real easy, very convenient for tipping into the back of my van, and easily manageable on stairs with two people. Easy as moving a brick shithouse

Because there's supposed to be two cabs and the head should be sprawled across both...

BUT it is in Seattle!

Well, actually that isn't a 2000s cab. A proper 2000s cab is the same width as the head, 30", that is a later 70s 215S which paired with the Concert series. And someone cut a hole out of the front of the grill panel, god knows why, heat has never been an issue in any of mine.

Yes.

I don't have multiple amplifiers, combos, practice amps and the rest. One head and one cab and when it's on, it's ON. Therefore I mainly practice on headphones, for which purpose I have a multifunction preamp/DI.

Tuner -- wouldn't be seen dead with a clip on (maybe that's just me)
Flanger -- just in case I need to be silly (you never know it may happen)
HPF+LPF -- always on utility pedal cuts out sub-bass noise
DGVU -- silent practice and 'fly rig' for use with supplied backline

As it happens ... many years ago, when I was still at school, I went on a weekend orchestra gig to a nearby city. The family hosting a few of us for the evening meal served icecreeam. Ever that smartarse, I said 'would you pass the beetroot please' and was duly presented with a bowl of sliced pickled beetroot, while they all waited expectantly. I took a few slices and it was surprisingly tasty.
