Ladies and gentle people, Bro's and Sis's   after some years of hard trouble I was able to reconstruct Tweak Peaks: my rig.

 She got herself a new head ...talking about an extreme makeover HA! I divided the old rig (remember: 8HE) in two: it's a more "handy" format and better for my spine! The new QSC-PLX 3102 handles 2x900w at 4ohms (I play the F1-X in Bi-amp). The amp is really light-weight and very clean-souding. In one flightcase is the QSC-PLX together with the F1-X and the SF-2 (yep ...study time again friends). Comes in handy when I don't want to play the complete set! I can play my Ellio MArtina and my Rob Allen through it! The second case gets a "plate" at the top (where I put my cables, spare stuff, etc ..., than power supply, Korg DT 1 and DS-5R.  In short ...."I'm baaaa-ack!!!!!"  Paul TBO

Oh yes,
and of course you can see old trusted Bonnie in the saddle again (better: on her String Swing) and ...don't forget the presence of Red and Bonnie's cool black&gold bra!
 
Now that I'm thinking of it: there IS something to say for putting the poweramp and the pre-amp and filter far away from each other for hum reasons but until now there is not much of a noise!

Let's see, Series 2/5, Alembic front end processing, QSC horsepower, Glockenlang cabinets . . . . gee, Paul, have you got the world by the tail or what?  Terrific rig.

BPTBO,
 
My hat (knobs) off to anyone who can figure out how to meaningfully adjust a rig like that. I'd be lost for months. Congrats!

Thanks guys!
It IS fun to start tweaking again. It is not THAT difficult to do because I lmerely consider it as a 3 band EQ (which sounds very disrespectful but I know you allknow what I mean).
The sound is very direct ...I know nothin g else to say!

PS: talking about tweaking the pictures don't show that my Lexicon MPX100 Multichannel effect is ...on the back side of the top case.
I only activate it (I put it BEFORE any other device) when needed. The preset different choruses in combination with different delays are handy and very nice to use

Very nice rig paul, bet it sounds excellent - that really is alot of knobs.  
BTW, where did you get the guitar cradle - looks like a really good way to keep Bonnie away from sound guys and the like who could knock her over.

My lost Brother Jan Rivi?re (Jan the River One) who owns Marylin (see http://alembicguitars.net/club/messages/411/6742.html?1070816970) ordered it for me when he bought his' . He bought the wall hangers, I bought these ones
VERY handy indeed but ...well ...you need a rig with some height for clamping a Bonnie-sized bass!

it's a nice sunny day in Edinburgh, shame I'm stuck in an office all day ;-(
 
I'v certainly got the height...

 
My rig before I installed the Korg DTR2000 tuner in the top.
