Leopards and snakes from Pumaboards, oh my...

[XSSIVE]

Ralph...thanks. the leopard board is 36 x 15.5 (external dimensions) and the snake is 33 x 13.5 (external dimensions) the usable velcro covered mounting surface is roughly 2" less in each direction. i never knew about the ampfests, i'm new around this board still. where are they held?

So what pedal is in the pink logo loop (third from the right)? It kind of looks like the crybaby logo but the crybaby is gold. Is it the volume pedal?

 

[XSSIVE]

Shane....it's for the wah and is one of the crybaby logos like this...

one of my wahs in my collection is pink and has that style logo so it just seemed fitting to use pink with that logo since i like that logo better than the standard crybaby logo and because i couldn't print a sparkle chartreuse label on my printer to match the wah that's on there.

Mike!!

Thanks for the info! I can't see shelling out $185 for a powered Gator board when now I know these exist!!

The ampfests used to be at My condo in farmingdale and then they were held all over from other members of this Board (NJ,PA)
lately we have been havng them at Dare studios in Deer Park! Id love for you to come down to the next one especially since it seems as if you Love the same stuff we do!!

I just bought a used loopmaster 5 loop plus tuner bypass and master bypass and the build quality is pretty good, I could beat a mugger down hard with it. The case is brushed aluminum so not as finished looking as yours and the one thing I see is that it uses rivots to put it together so troubleshooting will be a ball buster.

The blue LEDs are bright and awesome looking though

I thought that was the logo. Thanks for solving the mystery

 

[Les Zombie]

I love your boards, I dig something that functions well and looks good.

Ralph....yeah i couldn't see buying a gator either. i'm familiar with Dare but have never been there. my last band did the rehearsal studio tour so to speak, trying out several of them on the island from lyric to soundroom and 3 others whose names i can't remember and may be out of business since i can't seem to find them when googling let me know when the next one is being held and i'll see if i can make it. just don't expect and talent, i'm a guitar tech so i fix them better than a play them

Digital Jams...i'm familiar with loopmasters stuff and his wiring is great but he like may others that build loop pedals is then not limited by talent or quality of his work but only by the enclosure quality available to him. while the hammonds are certainly good enough the road rage ones (which are custom made for them) i think i could drive over with my car and aside from broken switches and scratches i don't think there would be any structural damage. is that crazy level of durability needed? odds are it isn't but why the heck go for it was my thought when i was loop pedal shopping. mine has all blue LEDs too (by choice, they'll use any color you want) and man are those suckers bright!

Shane...yup, that's it.

ZOMBIELAND...thanks! that's my though exactly the whole plan from the start was to make it function well with ease of use, sound good of course and look good while doing it.

You need to come out to the next Fortin fest so I can check out some of your guitars, here is Ralph and Mike Fortin jamming out from the last one................

 

[gbsmusic]

That looks great!! Very clean looking!

 

[XSSIVE]

Digital Jams... the obsession with that video clip around here is down right disturbing i would like to hear on of those fortin's in person.

gbsmusic...thanks

[vultures]

So 80's it hurts... in a good way

 

[Khoi]

I usually don't like snakeskin stuff....

but WOW that snakeskin pedalboard looks so sexy

 

[rupe]

Sick pedal boards Mike! Did Marty shoot those wahs?

 

[Bob Savage]

thanks guys! i'm a bit of an OCD detail freak so i figured why make the boards just function good and sound good, why not make them look good too.

jshaffer23...very cool, i dig the zebra for sure!

Jack...the sparkle pedals are my custom painted and modded dunlop wah and volume pedal. the purple is volume, chartreuse is wah (which matches one of my charvels).

-Mike

Awesome man. I love sparkle finishes... except on cars. A house would be debatable, but I've never seen one so...

 

[XSSIVE]

vultures...that's what i was going for.

Khoi...thanks!

rupe...yup, that's Marty's handy work on the wah and volume pedals. i had him do the wah to match the chartreuse charvel he did for me then figured i might as well do the volume pedal too to match the insanity

Bob Savage...the sparkle finishes became addicting. i had one charvel done, then the wah, then another charvel, then the volume pedal and i almost did another charvel in sparkle but talked myself out of it because it was getting to be a bit to sparkly around here

-Mike

Is that really possible? Well, unless you did your car, but...

Have I got the girl for you..

 

[XSSIVE]

Bob....nope, didn't do the car. i'm not that crazy.

Have I got the girl for you..

WOW, i think i like her even more now


-Mike

 

[Tommy]

That's it. I need to get me one of those snakeskin boards! I just have to get some more pedals, so I'll be able to fill it up, first
