elros Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 What's in my rack? My Eden WT800 amplifier. The weak link is the rack though. Must be replaced soon by a proper flight case. Quote
wizbat Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 The only rack I have used up till recently is my svt amp rack that I know some of you folks have already seen but for some time now I have been wanting to get my pedals in a better set up than just stomping about on the stage in the dark so I,ve decided to make the Ground Control rig I,ve been schemeing about a reality, so..........

Aussiephoenix Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 that saves money too, as you dont have to buy an xmas tree, just put the presies under the rack Quote
wizbat Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Quick Update, The pedals are now in place and all I have to do is make up the 32 jack to jack leads to lace the whole thing up. Quote

The pedal board lets me program what effect chains i want so I can switch in multiple effects in and out with a single step. Quote

I,ve got a boss comp/limiter in the chain. The widget over the back on the left is a palmer signal splitter to send a dry signal to svt1 and another thru the pedal chain to svt2 Ohh hang on now I geddit!! the clark compressor, 14cfm of pneumatic porn!! Edited June 29, 2007 by wizbat Quote
NJW Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 No, not the compressor/limiter. He means the Clarke Industries compressor. Is it any good? Quote
wizbat Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 It is pretty much up to whatever you want to do as far as applications such as running air tools and even car spraying are concerned, I mainly use it for air drills, riveter bead blaster and nail guns for work on flightcases and pedalboards etc, it,s not actually a full on commercial job and I think my local tyre centre would probably kill it in a year but it is as good a home workshop one as you would ever need.

There's just stonking amounts of pure clear power available.. I'd never use all of it, but it's nice to know if I need another cab for backline, it will never have to struggle! lol The thought of [i]2[/i] big efficient powerful cabs behind me fills me with joy and a fuzzy sensation!

Dood Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Phonic are really good! i have one of their mixers! Nice rig.. think i'll go find out a bit more about the 'optimizer'! Quote

Behringer V-Amp Pro Phonic tube optimiser Phonic tube enhancer Phonic power conditioner/distribution box with rack lights Phonic 34 band graphic eq Behringer europower amp All bargain basement gear [/quote] Holy **** Finn! I've seen aircraft cockpits with fewer dials. Quote
Aussiephoenix Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 And just "what" is "that" finn? Looks like some really old amp with a strange homebrew(?) cab... interesting design. Quote
Dood Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Aussie, you must be the only person on the forum who isnt familiar with the name Bill Fitzmaurice! I suspect that, my friend will be a short lived situation!! Quote
Aussiephoenix Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 hmmm, that looks interesting... by the link it looks like a DIY Bass Cab... so whats the story with this "Bill Fitzmaurice" fellow? I can detect some reverence in your statements Quote
alexclaber Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Avalon U5. QSC PLX 3002. Who needs EQ? Alex Quote
JoeS Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 6U of rack taken up by 2U of Behringer V-amp Pro and 3U of "Hollywood" poweramp, which leaves 1U spare. Time to get me some lights, perhaps... Quote
wizbat Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Ground control build update. Well I,ve wired it all up as it says in the manual, you can see the back of the switcher unit and all My luvverly wiring is now in place, all I have to do is program it, It is becoming clear that it is going to take longer to do that, than it did to build it.

alexclaber Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Not that I'm counting but do I have the most watts per rack space? Alex Quote
