Bit of a work in progress, but so far I like it.

Looks good. To small for me but if it works, use it.

Congrats. Have you given it the "Honey, stand over there and tell me how loud it is test" yet?

Yup. The TV is right above it. Playing the acoustic she doesn't have to adjust the volume. It's very quiet in the kitchen, which is closer to the neighbors' wall, and that's more of what counts. It'll be even better once the ceiling is stuffed with old pillows (won't block bass freqs, but it will cut down on the treble passing). Also, the foot stomping doesn't matter on a concrete floor.

Nice job! I love the door  Hope this will stifle your crazy neighbor, but if not, it's only a matter of time before the crazy leaves. People like that often don't stay in one place too long. Way to take the high road man!

Jon, I know the reason you actually built this is a very, very uncool one, but consider yourself lucky to have the space to create something like that! I'm freakin' jealous! The only playing I do at home is with headphones or a ridiculous practice amp for no more then 15 minutes..... Nice work dude!

Does this mean your demos won't be filmed in front of the liquor cabinet anymore?

Unfortunately, it does mean that.

I will try to put something just as interesting (or at least more interesting than my face) on the green wall behind the amp.

Green wall = green screen? Just 'shop in the ol cabinet for old times sake.

Random fact: the Betta fish I had my sophomore year of college was named Mr. Sanders.

Just one? 

All of ours are named Bunny. Even the guys.

[eldanko]

I thought if you had more than one they killed each other?

Oh. Ours aren't betas. They're just tetras. I just meant all our fish are named Bunny.

Ah. Most excellent. I now expect some sort of bunny-fish artwork on a pedal in the near future.
