If you mean influences, I'm sort of all over the map. (to a point) at one point or the other I was heavy into anything from John McLaughlin, Santana, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse to Pat Metheny, Lary Carlton, Mike Sipe, to my prog rock, David Gilmour, Steve Howe, Robert Fripp. And then there's Jimi....Hendrix & Page, and even Jerry Garcia (an no, I'm not a dead head) just like to hear someone take guitar around & around. There's a bunch more, but that sums it up pretty well.


Yeah, I have a bunch of nifty pedals that I'm anxious to try out on the HRM 50. I've been sort of holding off putting anything in front of the amp just yet. I'm soaking in all the goodness just by itself.  I do have a few hand built fuzz's and a Xotic BB preamp that I'm thinking will sound killer. And a nice optical compressor & clone UniVibe that always sound cool. I'm getting there.

I'm building the head cabinet myself and still have to put speakers in the cabinet I have for this setup. I'm almost finished the head and about to pull the trigger on some speakers. I left room in the head to put a C/D-lator. I haven't decided whether to buy the C-lator kit or source the parts myself and build a D-lator. Probably the later.

I built the Univibe myself. It's based on the R.G. Keen design www.geofex.com (which is just about an exact reproduction of the original) & what is known as the "ForumVibe" from here http://classicamplification.net/Forumvibe/ForumVibe_File.htm

It sounds great, much like the original. Probably better in someways. I found most present day Univibes don't cut it sound wise. Or they are way to expensive if they do sound good. I would suggest a Fultone DejaVibe http://www.fulltone.com/stpframe.html if I was to buy one retail. I actually did own one (an older version) and I liked it a bunch. But, sold it like a dummy. Although I'm happy now with mine. I will get some clips up sometime soon...I hope.
P.S. I just playing through a Vintage 30 from another amp also. I'm looking to get a G12-65 type speaker(s).

Here's some pics of the one I built.

Yes...nice job Chris and it sounds very interesting.
Guess it's not very easy to build one yourself, for this i would like to dig into electronics.
Thanks for your tip Chris, i probably should start a course in electronics and soldering!
