have done rehearsals and small jams with the alto 212’s before; there are outstanding for their price.

Thanks @Woodinblack and @bobbass4k

any tips on painting enclosures? got a couple of raw ones that I want to paint. Looking for something thats durable but wont break the bank. If it matters, I am looking at painting them white.

....I am loving it! simple and easy to use, less knobs means less room for errors for me :-D I had a Monique before and it definitely have the same vibe. Its a keeper for me.

Managed to buy back my VJ that I sold two years ago.

Nice idea. If only there’s an effects loop...

yep, been using them for about 4 years, I already broke about three though. Got them used so cannot complain really.

I am actually using wireless connectivity here using invisible plugs otherwise known as the happy jacks. ;-D if you notice the silver thingies on the side/top of each pedals, those are diago solderless plugs. one of the smallest plugs on the market.

small essentials board finally complete. BMC is only there for tetris purposes; thinking of putting a low gain drive or a boost in its place.

+1 bought one new middle of last year and its been my practice setup at home eversince.

and yeah, reason why it got to that amount is because at that time I have crazy power supply need. if you are just running pedals with “normal” power requirements you can just buy a daisy chain and an gigrig isolator/timelord/etc, as needed.

yup, as I mentioned, I got all of them used: £40 each for the the evenflo, super nova and doubler. £35 for the isolator £25 for the distributor £30 for the diago PSU. total of £210 for all. It might look a lot but look what it can provide: -450mah 9v centre positive for the H9 (evenflo) -550mah 12v centre negative for Le Bass (supanova) -550mah 18v centre negative for Cali (doubler) -4 x 170mah fully isolated 9v centre negative for all other pedals (isolator) the distributor is just like a normal daisy chain to connect all of this; main advantage of this, as with the whole gigrig power system, is of course you can cut the cables to your desired length as needed.

gigrig isolators/distributors/timelord, etc plus your choice of psu. (onespot/diago/powerall, etc) been powering my board like that for years without any issues. More expensive but for me its worth it. Here is one of my former board using diago/gigrig. All of them fully isolated; Diago psu is rated at 3000mah. All of them purchased used to save on cost.

Mine will be here monday or tuesday, after pursuading @sk8 for months to sell his to me without any success. :-p

2018

bought some patch cables from Stephen. good comms and very reasonably priced item. Highly recommended.

Mine is 244700, November ‘82

one of the reason why I “upgraded” to a JR sized from a Metro24 SC; so I can use the Mono case that is currently on sale from its UK distributor. Having said that, here is my board in progress, found a used Temple Duo 17. Not yet wired as my Guma Drive is not yet assembled. :-)
