Id take a pic of my pedals but it just took me 15 mins to get that side of the room somewhat presentable.

Anyways:
On too of the bandmaster reverb tilted is a 3 way delisle amp speaker selector switch.
DIY 2x12 cab loaded with those alnico eminence fender special designs they use in the hw twins, they are clones of the weber something or other.
Genz benz black pearl 30
69 band master reverb
72 bassman 50
Bottom is a head by a guy who used to be a tech in pdx Howerton. Its in a music man chasis, its kind of a low gain jazz/blues thing. Havent traced it out to figure out what its based on.
92 LP studio (my first electric guitar bought used in 94)
2005 deluxe strat
Theres a 1x12 under the keyboard that never gets used along with the keyboard that is mainly used by my 4 year old when he wanders in.

The bandmaster cab is currently in our master bedroom while I try to find space (wife loves this). Been looking for space since february :)

How do you like the Black Pearl? I have one of the power amp boards, plus the matching power transformer and choke. I've been thinking about doing a DIY head or combo but am undecided between cloning the stock preamp config, doing an AC30 riff, or just rolling my own preamp design. The BP designer is a friend of mine and set me up with the NOS parts several years ago, along with a bunch of other end of life service parts for other old GB tube stuff.

Love those other amps too, as a long time Fender repair guy.

I like it, i picked it up on a whim off craigslist a couple months back. Seems very versatile. Ive barely touched the others since getting it. I don’t remember what their called but the extreme of the voice switch arent real useful to me at least.

When i got mine, the price was great was told the mids knob didn’t work. Figured id pick it up fix it and flip it. Well the mids knob works fine, and i’m no longer planning on flipping it.

1. That godin is classy af.
2. The teeth art is disconcerting.
3. Props for keeping your dusting wands close at hand.

1. It really is, though I've had a push/pull relationship with it in the decade since I bought it new. Almost sold it last week, but thought better of it, as it just needed a different string gauge to sing. Probably going to add a bigsby and some colourful guards if I can figure that out

2. My wife is an artist and we used one of those paintings as an album cover in 2011. Ha

3. If only that meant I actually used them. Alas

Way to put that lazy vertical space to work! ;)

I had the idea to get a big ornate, gilt frame, fill the center with Velcro. Then whatever pedals weren’t currently on the pedalboard would get stuck in there.
Rotating 3D pedal wall ‘art’.

Haven’t actually done it yet, need to rearrange and free up some wall space…

Oh, that's a great idea! Much more classy than just sticking them to the wall
 
Here’s my rig in my practice space. My main amp is the Tone King Imperial MKII. I learned about it from TPS and got one a few years ago and I really like it. I use mostly the blackface side (the rhythm channel), although the tweed is also great. I have a few pedals in rotation but I switch it up pretty often. The reverb is the only one that has been on my board for a while. The Novo is my main guitar but the ASAT and the Strat get a lot of play time too. I’ve recently been playing the S500 a bit more. The Reverend hasn’t seen a lot of play time recently.

Edit: I realized I didn’t take a good shot of the guitars, so here it is.

Nice! I almost bought that same Reverend a while back when they had more of a presence in Canada. Seems like a nice guitar

I got that in 2009 and it was my main guitar for years. Reverend makes excellent guitars and the quality control is top notch. And they are full of modern features. I’ve been wanting to buy their Pete Anderson signature baritone for a while.

I feel like they had distribution problems in Canada, as they were the hot new thing for a minute, but I don't see them anywhere anymore (I've heard stories about the distribution partner they were with being less than great...)

Just drive over the border and try one in the US! ;)
 
To paraphrase Metallica at their cringiest, my rig style determines my bench style. Well, kinda anyway, since I do all my soldering at the same Ikea table that my board lives on when not at practice 1-2x a week. At home it runs into a Strymon Iridium and then my Scarlett 4i4. Believe it or not, Isabelle photobombed this pic of her own accord. My main guitar is a Frankenstein Jazzmaster with a PAF. The 2008 4003 is my most prized possession and was a 21st birthday gift many years ago. I've been writing on it a bit lately.

I don't have a photo of my full amp setup at the practice space, but here's Izzy again last year with the pair of Quilter Tone Block 202s I run stereo (since migrated to a 3U rack case). They each have a 4x12 (my pre-buyout Soldano, my bandmate's no-namer), but when I can scrounge the money a pair of lightweight Mojotone 2x12s with neo speakers is 100% gonna be the move.

The bass nook: parts P/J fretless, 1995 MIM J-bass (both with Hipshot hardware and Dimarzio Model P/J pickups), Schecter Stiletto Studio 8 with Hipshot hardware. One of these days I'll pony up to put in passive soapbars, I fucking hate EMG HZs.

Bass board isn't wired up presently and is usually for funsies (I just write through my guitar board with some mild gain), but I'm one of many Rusty Box afficionados in this community. The Torso is my Prunes & Custard build. At the practice space I also have an '80s 800RB + 2x pre-Gibson Trace Elliot 1x15s.
