Guitars anyone???

Excellent posts lately!^
Here's a gigging pedalboard I put together so I don't have to lug around my huge boards. It's not tiny but it's much more maneuverable than my other monster boards. This is 24"x12" compared to the big 36"x18". This way I can just leave the huge boards where they are: One at home and one at the basement dungeon.
I really like how this turned out. Home testing is done and sounds great. It's ready for a rehearsal on Sat.
It's got all my essentials: loop switchers for front of amp and effects loop, Sennheiser wireless, Digitech Drop, wah, overdrive, boost, volume boost, volume, delay, reverb, noise reduction. Plus a few wildcards: ricochet, flanger, chorus, tremelo.

Very nice @daltmeyer ! I like the DIY touch of your pedalboard.
I always wondered, how do you manage all of this live ?
I program my sounds in my multi fx (helix FX) which controls my amp (Mesa JP2C) via MIDI, so I can load any sound with one click. And I still sometimes miss the right switch live. I would be lost with such a board

My pedalboards have been changing every couple months or so for the last year, but here's where they sit now:
Big guitar board:
Small guitar board:
Bass pedalboard:

Had a loaded up PT-2 that I used for a long time, but just realized I didn't need it all. Took off EVERYTHING and slowly started putting things back as I needed them. I've been using the smaller guitar board for almost everything lately. Really like the simplicity of it with an Esquire and a Deluxe Reverb.
I could probably take off the Morning Glory and the volume pedal from the big board and be good there, and maybe replace the El Cap with a Timeline. I have drawers full of pedals I need to sell still..

@chrisjohnnick I love your tuner label!!

Nice! My mom had the stereo version.
Awesome! I sadly don't have any pics of my Grandfather or Great Grandfather playing the 355, but I do have pics of them playing many others.

@NorK I would never step on a stage until I've mastered it.
I can't deal with midi or menus much anymore. Although I used to use my Line 6 Vetta II HD for practice, rehearsal, and live. Thing is I forgot how to operate it! Haha. I need to download a manual.
With my board the 2 true bypass looper switches are labeled with the effects in that loop. The switcher on the left is for the amps effect loop effects. The switcher on the right is for front of amp effects. So I can turn the individual pedals on or off at my leisure to have them ready and then just hit one switch on my switcher to engage.
There's 5 loops in front of amp, and 2 loops for the amp effects loop. These switchers are the key to operating my boards successfully.
My eyes just glazed over trying to explain it. I feel sorry for anyone trying to read it.

At least you seem to know what you're doing ! -
Is it me or should this thread be in the Hobbies and Pastimes section?

Zvex Nano 1/2 watt microtube amp I picked up used after always regretting moving mine years ago sits on top a Randal Diavlo 1 watt tube fire breather I pickup up at MF Stupid Deal Of The Day a couple months back for a remarkable price. Both of these can drive a 4x12 speaker cabinet. Pictured here with my VHT Fatbottom 2x12 with Cel G12T75 speakers:

I started going through some of my guitars that have been in the vaults for over 8 years that needed some tender loving care. This guitar was built by hand from scratch by one man in Mesa AZ. Here is my Gutierrez Juggernaut back from the repair shop:
Body- mahogany
Neck- wenge (unfinished)
Fretboard- cocabola
Headstock- cocabola cap
Pickups- Barenuckle Miracle Man
Tuners- Sperzel locking

Gutierrez Siren out of the vaults, back from the technician, and into the light of day for the first time in over 8 years:

Neck- wenge
Fretboard- cocabola
Headstock- cocabola cap
Pickups- EMG can't remember models
Tuners- Sperzel locking

Starting small. I started playing a month ago to make the most of pandemic time. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t start 20 years ago. Here is my acoustic, but I’m on the hunt for a lefty Tele. I absolutely love the minimal nature of the butterscotch blonde. I think it will help me focus on learning since I can play in silent mode with headphones.

Tele’s are great @summ3rhays for such a simple guitar they are extremely versatile as far as what styles of music they work for.

I wish I started with such a nice guitar @summ3rhays !
Lefty too, my parents bought me my first guitar right handed… It was very unnatural first, now I'm glad I've got so much choice when chossing one -

Out of the vaults, back from technician, into the light. This one needed a big gouge repaired from where it got dropped. Don't let drunk bandmates play your guitars!
ESP Standard 1 of 7 special run

Out of the vaults, back fro… yeah you get the idea.
