The odd thing is that while you think its simple, to others simple is..... relative? ;)

Well... yeah... but.... compared to all of my other boards, this is drop dead easy
Edit: Meanwhile I covered the top with velcro and improved the mounting on the bottom side - I changed the relevant pictures in my post. Does it look simple enough now?  ;D ;D ;D

To quite jimilee, simplistically complicated. ;)

How does the headset mic work out. I've been thinking of getting one of those for a while now. I hate having to lean over towards the mic (across my pedal board) as I think it adversely affects either my playing or my singing. I might just barely be able to sing and play guitar, not a good multitasker, so add leaning over towards a mic and that's asking too much of my processing thinking power.

I am quite happy with the microphone in terms of sound, but you need to be aware of two things:

1) Volume-control by changing the distance to the microphone does not work - I am not that dynamic (in general  ;)), and the TC compressor does the rest
2) Putting it on and off is a PITA - Take of the glasses, put the mike on, clip the XLR-Jack to your belt, put on guitar, put on glasses. You need a mute switch for that procedure (that's why I built one).

That is great board! :) Since you got there Amp 1, please I need some feedback.. I watched almost all clips online and I am close to buy it. Thomas blug did great job with it. What do you think?

I recognize that case. That's a Rockcase, right? I used to have 3 of those, I kinda wore them out.  ;D

Yes, it's a Rockcase but modified to my needs  :D

I bought the Amp1 soon after it was on the market and tested it with different speakers and cabinets but I was
not 100% satisfied. So, I returned it within the 30-days-money-back-guarantee.
Months later I made a 1x12" cabinet for a friend and his Amp1 and we tested all of my speakers. The
winner was the WGS Veteran 30. We were very impressed by the Amp1/WGS combination.
Weeks later I ordered a second Amp1 and buildt two 1x12" cabinets. One for home and one for the rehearsal room.
I compared my cabinets against the Bluguitar Fatcab -had one at home for two weeks- but the Fatcab was too 'fat' for me  ;D
I found the perfect combination for me. It works great...Clean,overdriven, Distorted...With Stratocaster, Telecaster and Les Paul guitars. ;D ;D ;D

In the spirit of DIY here is a board I made last year with a couple of pedals I made myself. I gotta laugh a little at the simplicity of it all but, perhaps I'll update this soon! There are definately upsides and downsides to this sort of "board"

Thanks for info. I am also building a 212 cab with WGS Veteran 30s for Rocket I am working on, so I am glad it is great combination with Amp1 :)

Thanks again

Thought I should share my current setup. The chain is as follows:

Korg Tuner -> Morley Wah/Volume -> H&K Tube Factor -> BOSS CH-1 -> DIY Deluge (BYOC Tremolo, everything spray painted) -> DIY Fuzz (No idea what it is, bought it from a friend) -> Ibanez CF7 -> MXR Phase 90 -> Boss DD-6 -> EHX Holy Grail Nano -> Boss GE-7

Current goal is to get rid of most of the pedals and replace them with something I built myself. And I need to get a looper of some sorts, I'm done tapdancing.

^^^Nice!

2017 -- the year of the DIY board conversion.  I have the same goal.  If I can build something that replaces a commercial pedal (that I can sell to fund other things), I want to get it done this year.  I'm about 1/2 way there now and want a full DIY board with limited exceptions by years end.

Haven't done one of these in a while.

your collection is fantastic. I mean all your diy builds are otherworldsly anyways, but to add a red panda particle, the strymons and then to top it off, the montreal assembly count to 5?! I'm positively jealous.
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.
