Amp and half stack206 viewsAmp: Matamp 1224. Special feature is that there is no increase in volume when switching in the overdrive. This mod. was made at my request; I can get additional volume and overdrive with the Mesa Boogie V-Twin. For more information on the amp, go to: http://www.jurassicrock.co.uk/matamp_1224.htm
212 Cabinet: Celestion G12M Greenback and Celestion G12H 70th Anniversary Special Edition wired in series giving about 40 watts at 16ohm. Used little after buying the Blackstar Artisan 15 and so sold.tone256

Pedal Board version 2140 viewsCHANGE: Taken out chorus and replaced with Keeley compressor.
REASON: Stopped using chorus after programmed more attractive "chorus like" sound into delay unit. Compressor thickens single coil sounds, which is useful for instrumentals in particular.
CHANGE: Layout from right to left instead of left to right.
REASON: Pedals have "in" on right & "out" on left. New layout makes cabling neater.tone256

Common effect board in case.94 viewsThe board was built to fit this case.tone256

Common effects board92 viewsBuilt for use with Artisan 15 and Matamp 1224. Replaces previous boards.
T-Rex Chameleon Fuel Tank power supply mounted on bottom to save space. All electric wiring and most signal wires underneath for neatness.
There are 8 units to power. Although the p.s.u. has only 5 outlets, each one provides 300 mA and so can power more than one unit, as follows: 1 (9v neg. centre) - tuner & chorus; 2 (9v neg. centre) - wah & delay; 3 (9v neg. centre) - noise gate & channel switch; 4 (18v neg. centre) - distortion; 5 (9v pos. centre) - receiver. The output from the Boss TU2 tuner will be used to power the indicator lights on the amp switches (voice, gain, reverb) when I use the Matamp.tone256

Signal path is as per convention, i.e. radio receiver - tuner - distortion - wah - delay - chorus - noise gate - channel switch - amp.tone256

Blackstar Artisan 1556 viewsAll valve, 1 x 12, 2 channel combo switchable between 5 and 15 watts. Having sold my Matamp 1224, this is now used exclusively for gigs. With the pedal board, it provides all the sounds I need and, with a Hughes & Kettner Red Box permanently fitted, is usually D.I.'d, so is plenty loud enough. Bought the Matamp Jazz & Bass because of its clean sound and headroom and so sold.tone256

Diago Effects Board28 viewsNew effects board based on Diago Gigman. Altered because I couldn't resolve unpredictable noise that I believed to be related to having PSU on underneath. Other advantage is that I am now able to use the noise gate selectively.
