What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

On my bench today in final test and evaluation, is my own design and build: The AMI 'Dumb Luck.' Built to my client's desires for a high-headroom clean channel, a harmonically rich dirt channel, tuned reverb on both and a 20w KT66 fixed-bias output (that can run on American or English tubes at a flick of a switch). Transformers built to my specs by Matt at MusicPowerSupplies in Tennessee. Oh, it needed to handle a Telecaster and console steel guitar nearly simultaneously, which I created a pedal which was a transparent high-headroom 2 channel mixer with tone and volume trimers which also doubles as the channel switching stomp box.

He supplied the bare Vibrolux chassis, cabinet and 1980's Pyle 10" speakers (like mini JBL D-130s - these specific speakers are thought to have been used by Derek Trucks for a while, post Allman Brothers).

Been picking at this since September 2023, as there was a lot of component auditioning and fitting 10lbs into a 5lb layout. Just like some pedals, where components are located really affect its tone (or unwanted things like oscillations, noise, hum, etc.).

I am personally enjoying it, especially using my 2 Fender Bandmaster cabs loaded with old 1960's Celestions.
