Y'all crazy.

Did some rearrangin'
Made a wall of crap. Empty 215 = instant table.

The input(s) go left out - left board - Peavy 215 and cassette deck, right out - right board - Valve Jr. and another deck. Or to the Akai/PC.
Both decks are in their own effects loops, so once you record stuff onto the magic looping tapes they can be played back through yr amp WHILE YOU PLAY THROUGH YR AMP OH SNAP SON
The deck on the right yields a good fuzztoan with the REC way up; the left stays clean.
I was gonna make it so each deck's output goes into an old-ass Sansui speaker but I ran out of cables and patience. The other speakers are for when I feel like hooking up the receiver and stuff.
Also, I made an internal feedback loop for each side of that dual EQ, so with some volume controls and a blend knob it became a twin drone machine.

Tell/show me more of that Yamaha guitar, please!

It's an SGV-300, one of the 2000s reissues (this one was made in June 2000) of the 60's SG-series. They were sold in Japan until 2007, but as far as I know, were only sold in America and Europe for about a year. Probably because we can't handle anything outside of Strat/Tele/LP/SG shapes
The neck is super thin, which doesn't really suit my big-ass hands, so I work around that by tuning it to weird stuff that'll sound cool through fuzz and delay, like everything else.

Dunno the resistance of the pickups. They're not super high output but not boring either. Neck pickup is niiice and bassy, and the bridge ones aren't too thin-sounding or icepick-shrill. The electronics setup is pretty cool...the bridge cover houses two individual single coil pickups, and the bridge-most pot is a blend with center detent; counterclockwise is middle only, center combines em both to form a humbucker, and clockwise is the bridge. Combined with the neck pickup, the middle is the twangiest and the bridge has a slight mid-scoop.
I use .13 flatwounds on it because flatwounds kick ass.

It has a weird floating vibrato that originally used two springs. I put a strip of metal between the posts to better match the heavier strings and it's working pretty well. Still needs some tweaking that I might get down to now that I have more space. Abusing the vibrato makes the guitar go out of a tune like 1/4 of a step, although uniformly, so it's fixable by just bending up if it's too flat or down if it's too sharp. Easy!
I was SUPER lucky to find it, especially at only $200. I also have a bass model, the SBV-500. Definitely my favorite series of guitars.

People put 'em on ebay a few times per year and they tend to go for $500 or so if yr on the hunt.

Thanks man it's good times... I was moving stuff around again, there is another table with all the synth stuff on it you can't see... The record stand has pointy feet and the legs are filled with lead and it's heavy as shit to move around so I don't rearrange that much...

I like that Achtane and I both have practice amp heads out and upside down...

[D.o.S.]

every time I see a picture sonidero posts of his space I think it's fake because it doesn't have purple walls.

[Achtane]

That's how we rock this shit, soni.
Like mirror bros.

[sonidero]

Ha I painted it with my neighbors left over blue and grey before the Purple took over... I covered a practice spot wall to wall in Purple Auralex onetime...

MIRROR BROZZZ!!!

Badass! I remember when these were in catalogues, I was curious about them for a while because they look surf as hell.

[GardenoftheDead]

Two rigs: Big pedalboard goes to Egnater or Hartke. Second 'rig' is the Fuzz Face clone on top of the Blues Jr.

[Disarm D'arcy]

Not my proper rig but my project's rehearsal set up

[ryan summit]

damn that looks like a good room to think in jay
