Amp worship from Canada (part2)

Happy new year everybody!!
Andrew shared with me the rest of his rig (and it is amazing!!).

First of all let me tell you more about the custom cab in my previous post. It is a white 2x12" that not only looks great, but sounds hudge too. This cab was made by a company called Voltage Amps and seems solid. I haven't found any links from their site, but Andrew if you read this please comment.

The rest of the rig now... Finally a stompbox lust picture!!

In detail:
PEDALS (signal chain):
Boss TU-2
Catalinbread WIIO
Dr. Scientist Redical Red Reverberator
Boss OC-3
Boss OS-2
Greedton "Greedle" Custom Overdrive

Red Witch Famulus
Bolss LS-2 (this loop contains: MXR EVH Phase 90> Catalinbread Semaphore> Boss PS-3> Boss DC-2)
Red Witch Titan
Malekko Echo600
Strymon Blue Sky
Boss DD-7 (w/ tempo switch from Analog Endeavors)
Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso

GUITARS
Les Paul Custom Silverburst (1982) - AMZANIG guitar from a great era ;-)
Fender Telecaster Deluxe (2004 USA)
Fender Telecaster '72 Thinline (reissue 2000 MIM)

I bet there are a lot of pedals you haven't seen them before (so am I!). A great oportunity for some internet check and search..hehe.
The pedalboard as well, is a custom plexi-glass construction with light up! (Pretty fancy eh??!!!)

Last but not least, check all of them in action...

Amp worship from Canada (part1)

Cabs:
2x Marshall 4x12" 1960A

BONUS pic:
The Model T updated with white tolex to match the 2x12" cab. I REALLY like the white Model T:

Still here... still breathing... still stalking cool rigs!!
The updates aren't as I planned to be but I'll try my best.

So here we have a 100% pure rock set up.

and Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 1976 original (heavily reliced that used to be a gold top one!!!)

A big thanks to mr AlDebaran for his contribution!

Sunn Sorado and updated rig

FINALLY my Sunn stack has completed!!
A couple of weeks ago I received my Sorado back from my amp technician. It plays better than ever and the sound is massive.
By the way... If you are located in Athens (GR) and search for an amp doctor (or other equipment), do yourself a favor and check RETROLAB (http://www.myspace.com/retrolabinspace). Great guy and great at his job.
In other news, the quest of finding big cabs is going well. Last month I found a Fender Bassman 100 4x12" cab with the unique speaker configuration. The pic speaks for itself. Last (but not least) waiting in the mail an excellent Peavey 2x15" loaded with Black Widows!! That's all for now...  \m/

...MOUNTAIN WITCH...

Last post for 2010...
I was saving the last post for a special amplifier that I am waiting... Unfortunately the amp hasn't arrived yet so no Happy New GEAR for me.. And all thanks for our excellent service in Greek Customs!! My parcel took 5 days to come all over from US. So far so good. The following quote from tracking will tell the rest.....

Out of Foreign Customs, December 29, 2010, 1:27 pm, GREECE

Into Foreign Customs, December 07, 2010, 12:38 pm, GREECE

If my mathematics are correct that makes 22 to clear from Customs! Hell yeah \m/. BTW up to date (31/12) the notification to go get my amp from post office hasn't come yet..... Anyway just wanted to share this!

Not actually a "post your rig" topic, but some random pix from guitar stores in London...

naked cabs ready to roar!!

So you don't know if you like better your model T with 12" or 15" speakers ???
Do what mr Rot Gut did... Run two of them, one with a full stack of 12" and one with a full stack of 15"!!
In detail. What we have here:
1 Roland re-201 space echo
2 Sunn Model T (one red knob 2nd Gen. and one 1st Gen).

2 Acoustic 2x15" (all of them loaded with Peavey Black Widow 15) great speakers btw.
