For rack cases, I used collectivecases.com and par-metal.com back when I was racking a bunch of Yamaha PM-1000 channel strips 10 years ago.

These look like cool resources.
Pretty intrigued by some of the offerings at collectivecases - thanks for sharing!
I know this thread is supposed to be present to future projects, but I want to see those Yammy channels now!

I did a couple with custom engraved faceplates also.

built another Traynor TS-50B style preamp for home recording. I have the same preamp at the practice space plugged into the FX return of a Mesa Bass 400. sounds fantastic! at home I’ve plugged it into a crown power amp into a GK 1 15 cab. sounds great too!

Yes, holy crap bassdriver! The real deal TS-B amps are great on guitar as well, and I'm sure that would be no exception.

Cheers guys!
I made a quick demo video with a loop recorded in reaper and then reamped it. I really like that a ampeg style ultra low setting that I added to the original design. Haven’t played guitar through it yet, but the baritone definitely sounds great too with the same setup.

Built a new rack for the studio. Gets all the preamps and patchbays up to eye level to keep my back from aching. Installed LED strips so I can see better while patching. rebuilt all of the patch snakes and am rewiring the XLR snake next. Should be good to go after that.
