My little used pedalboard, I have a truetone box power supply..
There is always fluorescent green.Good idea, but no offense if I don't with with fluorescent yellow.
Or with two cans and some masking tape, you can do Van Halen stripes...
Wish I had seen this post earlier. We were just at Ikea and I would have grabbed one if I had known. Gives me another reason to go there and visit Guitar Center and Total Wine across the parking lot.
There is all the justification needed for a return trip!Wish I had seen this post earlier. We were just at Ikea and I would have grabbed one if I had known. Gives me another reason to go there and visit Guitar Center and Total Wine across the parking lot.

Total Wine and Liquor is Mr. Liver's favorite place!
I do too
It sounds much better (to me....) now that I've put the flats back on.
The Opti-Grab is kind of neat to experiment with - it gets the pick so far back, you're almost picking on the bridge saddles. Gives an interesting sound though.
But it's a bit of a challenge (for me) to easily hit the top & bottom strings....I guess 'cause Nikki mostly seems to play on the middle two strings
Sounds like your base found a good home.
How's your octave? My EBS sounds a little synthy sounding--though reviews at the times said it was natural sounding. I was used to the one on an Ashdown head that sounded more natural and just added some really good and deeper lows.
I don't know how susceptible I am to vertigo, but I don't want to press my luck.

Absolutely not normal. And surprising given the quality of the ones most here received. The finish on mine is exceptional.
there are some that supposedly “do more” but this does what I need it to do.

In the south, the w comes before the vowel. And word that have one syllable have two, and vice versa. Or maybe that is just western NC hill twang.Could be a Southern thing - I noticed years ago that Southerners break apart word pronunciation into different syllable sets than say, for example Northerners or midwesterners.
I used to live not to far from a town called Mosheim, TN. We pronounced it MOss-hīme.
When people would call into where I worked, I got to where I could guess where they were from by how they pronounced it.
MO-sheem, moh-SHIM, mosh-im, etc. Wikipedia says it's "MOSS-eyem", which is close I guess.
Only people from the South (or sometimes Germans or people of German descent, since it was named after college that was named after a Geman man.......) guessed right if they'd never heard it before.....

My pedal board is mostly utilities:
Shure wireless receiver/tuner -> hp/lp filter -> mooer ocaver-> Bass Balls envelope filter -> DI box.
All powered by a brick mounted underneath.
It is orange. It was on sale and the color is fine with me. Nobody else has an orange board. The best part is the led lighting underneath. It makes me happy. Nobody else notices.
Well, I'm originally from East TN - about as far from Asheville as I am now from The Bay Area. So probably similar accent?

Yep. You are probably one of the few people who would be right along if I worked up a good dialect. Being as how I grew up mostly in Ohio, it wouldn't be completely incomprehensible like it would be if I had spent all my time in North Wilkesboro.
Head of Doom? Curious as I have been looking at Ashdown heads and recall that feature.
One of the nice things about the places we play is that my 22# Rumble 100 is plenty for the room(no PA assist-ever).
