Magic 6!

I ordered the MF-103 last week & the 101 Tuesday of this week. The 101 came in only 2 days. http://www.sweetwater.com is.. the.. BEST! So, I rearranged the amps, pedalboards, & generally my whole bedroom so I could fit the Hosa 12U rack at the foot of my bed. I haven't a clue what I'll do when they come out with the MF-106 heh.

Here's the money shot:

Tks moog. :D

BTW before anyone asks, I use the Radial Engineering Tonebone VT amp head switcher. When the Blackheart is selected, output is routed to BOTH the Blackheart's speaker AND the Orange 112 cab. When I choose the Orange Tiny Terror, output is ALSO routed through both speakers. So in effect, I have a poor man's 2x12.

Since the Blackheart is open-backed & the Orange is closed, I get great directional power with air too. In addition, I chose the VanAmps Sole-mate reverb unit. It holds within an authentic AccuTronics spring reverb since neither of my Class-A amplifiers sport the effect. I like to try & keep analog baby! All in all, its an extremely versatile setup that I've not seen anyone else use. I guess you could say I'm happier than a pig in sh1t!

Out of picture would be a ton of Boss pedals, $1K in Monster cables, Mesa Boogie Roadster, Peterson StroboTuner, Mackie mixer, Adam7 monitors, Korg MR1000 recorder, Sennheiser wireless, TC Electronic 1394 interface, Dell PC w/Vista Ultimate, Ibanez bass, Martin Orchestra cutaway, a Schecter Classic, Moog theremin, & Little Phatty Tribute. My bedroom is full & I don't even have drums yet!

Carry on.

I would suggest electronic drums...they might fit better, and can be hand built for a fraction of the cost for a drumset...unless you go with a cheapo kit. In which case, there's still the matter of where to put them. :lol: But I can't talk.

I've got two 1963 12 inch end table speakers built by Knight at he foot of my bed, the Farfisa's in the basement, the Mac usually leans against the Little Phatty's X-stand next to my bed, next to which is my Peavey amp, on top of which is my 'Foogers!

And that's not to mention the $79 Dean in the closet, the Pignose amp also in my closet, or the Hosa cables hanging anywhere they can. :roll: Meh...it's an obsession. That's one killer setup you've got there, though!

Perhaps it's my Canadianess showing, but the first thing I noticed was the HBC blanket on your bed. :oops:

Nice setup though!

Great setup!
All you really need now to wet your whistle is the cp251 and youll be complete.

^^ I second what EricK said, it opens doors that open doors to keys that unlock hallways full of doors. :wink:

I've heard an amp set-up almost identical to yours, and it sounded fantastic. Congrats!

An interesting way of putting the CP-251 into perspective, but so very true! :mrgreen:

Very cool! I can tell that you are excited. What sort of music are you making with all that stuff?

Space-warped blues ambience... if you can believe it! :D

Sweet rig! Any links to what it sounds like?

It's a shame you're not using that Mesa 2x12, though. Their cabs are kindof pricey if you're just using them as amp stands.

Oh, I have a Roadster combo 2x12 that feeds into the cab!
You can see the footswitch in the top right of the pic.

The problem is, I need a couple EP-2 pedals but they have straight plug ends. When the Moogers are mounted in the rack configuration like I have, straight plugs won't fit. :?

Thanks!

I picked up the Egnater Rebel-20 last night & scooted the Tiny Terror to the other side on top of the Blackheart. I'll take a new pic tonight maybe.
