I used to run my original 'Pigger" with the case partially open and of coarse a Guild Power Booster hanging out of the input!! ;D

DieHard:
Still looking for my Pignose after my move.... 100+ boxes to guess at :(

mrhappy:
I'm gonna guess 'box 99' !!  ;D

Yeah... that's the usual luck, but I narrowed it way down to a section of about 12 to 14 from the displaced "work" studio.

On a different note, if FdB connected all the stuff in the "Wall of Sound" and then had Angus grab that SG (seen behind it all) I am sure he could make friends with many of the neighbors

FdB:
“Wall-O’-Sound”?
  May be fairly accurate, actually.

I’ve avoided counting them all until today… but there are now 20 different portable amps here. [Of those 20, guess which (only) one has refused all repair efforts so far?] Stay tuned.

And of those twenty... six were made after the “golden-era” decade of production (1972 to 1982) and they serve as comparisons to the originals. (Like G4 Macs, they multiply.) So a mere 8 months after I first posted the “Pignose vs. Dwarf” topic here… final photography begins tonight. (And only just a few other amps have been added along the way.) What? It’s only been a year-long project.

And then last night I stumbled upon this:Looks a bit like a Roland Cube Street? And check this guy's playing.

Lucky for me that it’s well outside the “golden era” focus group parameters here. (I still want it!) 50 Watts! And it also currently belongs to the original owner of Angus. (See below.) Nice segue there DieHard. Thanks.

Speaking of “Angus”… here’s a refinished Dwarf amp (the one on the right) that had one too many coats of ebony wood stain and came out “Back in Black”. And yup, have called it Angus ever since. Spent most of its previous life tethered to a Marshall stack as a pre-amp. (Maybe IIO will translate that new name on the faceplate?) I actually built the Big Pig in an attempt to level the comparison with the Dwarf's performance.

Angus seen here with another abomination - the “Big Pig”.
(25% larger custom cab w/ Jensen MOD 6/15 speaker inside.)

Let’s see now… how do I post “text-picture-text-picture-etc.” here again?
Senility apparently has yet to solidify?

(My neighbors also allow me a fairly wide berth.) ::)
