It's a pedaltrain novo 24 - came with a gig bag and Velcro. You need to buy some brackets to drill to the back to add the psu, so with that it was £115 ish. You can get bigger ones and smaller ones.

It feels quite expensive for what it is, but it does the job great and I don't think an office monkey like myself could make one easily!

As for buying stuff - I'd endorse GAK for getting stuff now. Pronto free delivery with excellent tracking.

I've been downsizing my rig over the last 6 months.. This is what I've settled on now:

Dat EP booster - it really is wonderful at beefing up cleans and can even push singlecoils to a fair humbucker sounds. Great pedal!

Just had my guitar set-up by a tech - it's like absolute butter! Sadly not buttery enough to play the Tornado of Souls solo, but it's nice to dream

I know I posted a few images of my kit a couple of pages back - but that was with a potato camera. We were on set for a video shoot yesterday, and as the light was half decent I dusted the DSLR off to take few snaps. Enjoy!

That looks like a very nice drum kit!

Dave · 4 Jun 2016 at 08:59

Beautiful kit - makes me want a good old fashioned drum kit again! (I have an electric) A rather large mouse appears to have taken a bite out of your china, though

Looks like pretty big hi-hats on the stand - is it a pair of 16" crashes?

teh_captain · 7 Jun 2016 at 10:42

Cheers for the kind words

The china is so nice I had to take a nibble

I had a guy repair it as I managed to put a tiny crack in it, so at least I can still use it which I'm grateful for.

I guess the hats do look big, but they're only 14" AAX Stage Hats. My smallest crash in my set up is an 18"

I like big pies!

Just finished my latest guitar so I figured I'd quickly post what I have so far here. I'll do a proper update later with all the guitars and I'm also currently trying to sort my amp and pedal situation (which is pathetic atm)

To kick things off I have my strat. Generally play this in E standard. First guitar I built (out of a kit) about a year and 2 months ago. Currently sporting all the stock hardware but I've been purchasing some upgrades like an all maple neck, alnico pickups and Kluson tuners last week so I'll be spending the next few weeks overhaulin' it.

Next up the guitar I finished last weekend, my Les Paul build. Got this tuned to Drop D with some PAF Alnico humbuckers with coil split options and a metallic violet paint job, pretty good stuff.

Lastly for this post is the Drop C super strat. This was an Ária (the guitar brand) Mac50 Black (special edition) that I got from a mate and made.... blacker. Sports some Duncan Designed pickups (HB103 and SC101s) and a Floyd.

This guitar wasn't for me to keep but I put it together last winter for a good mate of mine. Sporting world's first (and so far only) Parvum pickguard

Blimey! Pro stuff!!

Tk7 · 8 Jun 2016 at 11:43

Nice feronix, i've built a few guitars and recently finished a Les Paul style myself. Good colour finish on the LP.

Feronix · 9 Jun 2016 at 09:50

Thanks guys! I'll do a full gear update once I'm content with my gear... which might take a couple of years

Got a link where I can see your guitars, Tk7?

@Feronix

Is that a Thomann kit?

Feronix · 9 Jun 2016 at 13:08

Which one?

I meant which of the guitars, but yes, yes it is! Swapping out a lot of stuff soon though, I'll post back when it's done!

Lazy J20, essentially a tweaked fender tweed deluxe with tremolo and Spring reverb.

Tk7 · 27 Jun 2016 at 16:14

Feronix, yeah sorry here's a pic of the stuff I have made so far.

The two on the left were thomann kits with a lot of upgraded bits. The LP was a kit off ebay as I wanted a set neck, again with lots of upgraded bits.

The tele on the right was made with parts I bought seperately, and it came to about 400. That's my main guitar, it's a solid workhorse.

I'm quite into building pedals and guitars and these 4 have been good fun and good experience.

New toy for myself, not played for a few years but I've been wanting to get back into it for the last few months.

Found it hard to turn down a Gibson for a marginal amount more than the Epiphones I was looking at getting!
