      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 😃

      Price is forgotten, quality remains.

          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..

              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.

                        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

                                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.

                                    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  😉
