I always feel bad when I remove the layer of dust, unspoken history.

LOL. Wish I still had pictures of the inside of the transfer console to put up. The components are ENORMOUS

Yeah I love looking at gutshots of old hardwired commercial grade gear...when everything was essentially custom made & overbuilt to run pretty much nonstop with occasional maintenance. Standards were regularly exceeded to get an edge and the unique sonics which resulted are the stuff of lore. Modern recreations are great but that old gear just speaks to me. Relics of a bygone frontier era. Here's another addition for the thread, the stuff of dreams:

Same.
But 3 knob Boss > 4 knob Boss.
There're only a few 2s which are OK too.

I prefer the looks of the earlier boss/roland stuff, even though it was obviously less practical. But you've got to admire their commitment to form.

Very nice. Kind of reminds me of a Musicman and a Hiwatt mixed.

Yeah, a lot of people are saying that if building pedals were an Olympic sport, Guillaume Fairfield'd be a Gold medalist.
