Hey guys -
I'm finally in-town long enough to start wiring my new rig. It's a mix of all my favorite old-school and new-school toys, with a twist. Sorry I did not take pics earlier in the build - I got off to a good start before I realized I should document as I go. I'm about 60% wired at this point: AC harness is done; MIDI harness is done; rear panel is done; audio is about halfway.
I'm still missing a power amp, Pedal Power II+, and a Crunchbox.
The rest of the gear I've had for years. The only thing I bought was $60 worth of lite-ply to make the tolex case. It came out great! It's 14 spaces using Mesa SUS-4 rails. It's 14" rail-to-rail and covered in black tolex.
It's designed to be very flexible: I'll use it in stereo; WDW by adding any amp with a loop and a center dry cab; and in mono with any amp w/loop.
I'll update this over the next week as I finish up each night.

PS - yes, I know. I could have just bought an AXE-FX - but I'd miss out on all the soldering fun! It helps that I had all of the gear sitting around!
