Charlie! Its Vance from Babb Fest. Check out this custom foot pedal midi controller I just made with the help of others. Its a set of antique organ pedals, combined with M-audio controller electronics in a Custom housing/road case. Click the picture to see some of the other pictures... i think youll dig the paint job. I just remember you made your amp and cab, so i thought you'd be interested...
Thanks for adding me!! I was looking for some cool people to connect with. There are so many great people on here and it’s my pleasure to have you as a friend on my page. Musically, Jay
