plus whats the head? it looks gorgeous with that cab!

No Bugersas here; a pair of homebrews. Combo is the basic AX84 amp, single end EL84. Head is a the same but with a few mods. Cab is an old SAI I can find no info on at all.

The strat is brilliant. Modern ESPs arent my thing, but this MIJ is brilliant. I sold my Am. Fender when I got this. Can't find a lot of info on it online though. It's an early one with a gold logo, but has an F-correct headstock. Domestic market perhaps.

Thanks for the welcome!

does that little ampeg stay clean at all when you turn it up? im really interested in those amps but all the demos I hear are distorted.

kypdurron · Post by **kypdurron** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 3:16 pm

it has 20 watts, it's totally able of clean sounds at stage or rehearsal volumes. It doesn't get any louder after 4 and a half or so, it just starts to saturate - but it's a grown up amp, nothing like the AC4 or so.

I must say im properly jealous of that Champ and the Twin, i just love those master volume silverface amps

yeah, they both sound fantastic, one might argue that one is too big and one too small to be really useful though. But I thought these amps are very simple to track down at nearly no money in the USA? I mean, they are not rare, and there must be tons of them for sale over where you are

Twins and the larger amps aren't exactly scarce but finding the smaller "student model" amps like the champ rarely passes by my parts. Twins have their uses, as does the Champ.

Weird. I see Champs everyday on Craigslist in the PNW.

At first I was half concentrating when I read this and I am sure it said "I see chimps everyday on Craiglist"

Beautiful. I love those Heritage AC30s.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:09 am

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 Â£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 Â£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.
