Mesa Boogie Mk III Black Stripe, Fender Champion 600 that I modified to hell. My "rig" is ever changing, but right now it is: Axis > ZVEX Fuzz Factory > Custom build Big Muff Pi clone I built > Dunlop 535Q way > Fulltone OCD > Mesa Mk iii. Effect send > Boss Super Chorus > Fulltone Deja Vibe > EB VP > MXR Carbon Copy > Effect return. I love the OCD, Deja Vibe, and Carbon Copy; great pedals. I also throw in a Digitech XP-100, 70s Dyna Comp, 70s Ross Flanger, and modified MXR phase 90 every now and then.

I am looking to design and build a pedal board and switching system. Any of y'all have experience with that?

+1 on the Deja Vibe. Interesting to see that you have it in the loop, mine is early in the chain and comes before the overdrives!

I don't know why I haven't tried that yet... I'll fiddle around and give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion! I've always liked my "time based effects" (mod, delay, ect.) in the loop. Also, keeping my VP in the loop has proven to be great.

i want to make theses pics since a long time .....
i've sold my Axe FX and replace it by an EGNATER M4 V2 preamp it's a dream machine
loaded with Twin deluxe,Vox,Bassmann and SL2 modules
i'll replace the GMAJOR 2 it doesn't work so good and if i can i'll buy again an Axe for the effects only
better routing and possibility on it .
The 2 1X12 V30 loaded works fine and better than my next 2X12 MESA
:):):)

The Fender Mustang is my practice amp at home ans a very good stand for theses pics ;).....

Wow, I love my Gmajor 2.....

Bought this Jet City JCA22H + JCA12S cabinet about 2 weeks ago. Lightweight, easily transportable, and sounds great (especially for the price).

And the best part...I sold my Peavey JSX + cabinet and made enough to buy the Jet City rig PLUS have some extra cash to put down on my next Music Man order! :D:D:D

My buddy has this same setup. It is killer sounding and didn't break the bank either!

Just checked out a demo on you tube - sounds a great amp!! I wonder what the build quality is like?

I'm pretty impressed. The speaker cab & amp box are actual plywood (no particle board). The amp chassis is 16 gauge steel. In addition, the amp PCB is 1/8" thick (most budget amps are 1/16"). And the fact that it was designed by Mike Soldano can't be a bad feature...

Well I'm well impressed by the demo - but need to try one out - not gonna trust a pair of crappy computer speakers lol

Just done a bit of research and the ONLY thing that bothers me is that the valve bases are directly mounted to the PCB rather than the chassis

Have to try and track down a picture of the "innards"

They're neat little amps for sure. I have the JCA20H with the Dave Friedman "Brown Eye" mod (the Jose mods) and that thing sounds killer. I put a loop in it as well and it's actually quite versatile- does a great clean with the master up and the gain all the way down.

Just a question...I have a Laney head, really reliable and great amp.

But I´m looking for a more versatile amp, and my quest is heading me towards a MARK V.

I´ve seen that many of you have the Mark V, and it seems to me that it is like "bread & butter" with MM.

So, if you can share your experiences, it will be gladly appreciated.

Thanks a million!
