The problem with doing one gig every 5 years is that none of your damn gear works...

Yeah but it's techy stuff...and I bet you're loving every minute of it (you'd feel cheated of the chance to fiddle with it if it was working) ;)

I am impressed with your "A - Team" style skills. Lock Pondy in a room with some wood, a few tools and some cables and he creates a musical extravaganza in a box!

This is Mark 4, it all started off with some gaffa tape on a square of wood (Which is still in there at the bottom!) :-)

No WahWah, but just about everything else! :-)

From the left:

*Flanger: Makes wooshing noise bought it in the 80's hardly ever use it.
*Chorus: Makes things sound like there are 2 of them, most people have the "speed" controll too high so it sounds like they're under water.
*6 Band Graphic EQ: just to add some bottom to the sound.
*Analog delay: For muffly echo echo echo
*Digital delay: For longer cleaner echo echo echos..
*Tuner: Because I care! :-)

Now, is this a pre-existing case that you've modified, or did you build it as well? Do the pedals have a straight-through bypass mode for when you're not using them? I'd worry that with so many active elements in series there'd be too much hiss and noise at the output.

As I recall, in the goodoledays, we'd sometimes just listen to the noise which all the pedals made : )

All home made Tony, designed so you can shut the lid with the wires attached and hide it behind the amp ready for when needed.

The pedals have a bypass mode, but they are far from silent.
