Hello everyone! My friend Kenny Wittman revised my old rack system from 51 llbs to 36 llbs!! The following are front and rear shots. The blue LEDs in the front of my rack kinda messed up the photo.  
I updated my effects & now I use the TC G system & misson expression pedal; In place of my old EBS Octave pedal I'm using the Great Divide by Godlyke.(IMHO) The Great Divide has even more thunderous earth shaking lows along with magnificent tracking capabilities and the lows don't poop out  the Roland EV5 Expression pedal adds more or less bottom. I'm a very happy man!

Chalie; the updates to your system sound great, but the picture isn't there.  At one point, I considered the G system; it's a nice approach to controlling effects and signal path.

  Dave, hopefully I got the photos right this time! I still struggle trying to resize & upload  (Message edited by davehouck on July 06, 2015)

If you want, email them to me and I'll resize and upload for you.
 
As an aside, we are still working on a platform upgrade, one result of which should be easier picture handling.

Chalie sent me a couple pics to upload:

Very nice! I thought about moving from my Lexicon MPX G2 to the TC G System, but I couldn't find one to try out or enough information on routing opportunities. Let us know what you think!
 
What are those speakers?

Very kool.  I have also set up a compact stereo rig . Using two 2x10 cabs.  Great for a Series I/II  Bass in Stereo.

Thanks for posting the photos Dave! Thanks for the compliments Ed and Sonicus! Ed,the speakers on the left are Kappa lite 3010 LF (Low frequency) and the set on the right are Kappa lite 3010 HO (high output) and those speakers kick major butt!! Although my speaker cabinet design is old now, I came up with it 12 years ago by accident. I had an old Peavey 2x10 over 18 speaker cabinet and it was heavy, so I got Kenny to literally cut it in half. I liked it so much that I had him build me 2 cabinets then I ported the rear and they sound awesome and I can carry both at the same time!!! When I compared them to my Bag End D10 BX-D's I couldn't tell the difference in sound quality at all. As far as routing opportunities for the G system,I think that anything you can think of doing is possible to program but I'm a simple guy and came up with 10 pre-sets that I liked & programed it in the G system. Lastly, on occasion I will add my EBS envelope filter by simply plugging it into Loop 3 and all I have to do is step on loop 3 and it's in the mix!!
