thats a great link maxingwell thanks.

No worries. I bought a pedalboard from them just over a year ago. Its solid as a rock and can take loads of abuse:

Okay guys - here's the update (if anyone's interested)

I've got a Peavey Classic 50/50 coming tomorrow (just like yours Jonathan) - I'm pretty excited about it. I'm paying £250 including personal delivery to my house. I don't know how good a price that is, but anyway the Peaey seems like the most versatile and value for money option in poweramps, period.
It's also got a load of features, which will help me out with any changes in my setup (since it's stero i could run multiple preamps...damnit don't tempt me). Also i was very much attracted by the resonance and presence controls, however, i don't know how much effect they'll have. I'd ask you for a review jonathan, but since I'll have the genuine article tomorrow it hardly seems worth it :D Any suggested settings? Do you think it'll work well with my Mesa V-Twin?
LOVING the Mules!

I need to get a more up to date photo as that was taken over a year ago.

The rack has changed somewhat - now has an Engl preamp as well and I'm trying to make space for a Soldano one too. Think I have 10 or more preamps - now I just need to sort out the switching

There's another couple of ADA units to go in- so I may well move the TC Electronics G Force and the BBE sonic maximiser out into another separate FX rack.

The Peavey power amp didn't last long - I had a Marshall 9100 (that runs 5881 valves) that I much preferred the sound of - more glasssy.
Nothing wrong with the Peavey - just wasn't my sound.
Malicious Steve bought the Peavey from me.

So far my ADA MP1 with the 3TM modification has the best crunch and lead sound for me as a preamp although I do like the Engl and the Rocktron Pirhana is pretty damn special too (no wonder Judas Priest use them)-

Actually I have a spare `Pirhana' as I have 2 of them - used to have a rack in the workshop too but now I just use a Marshall head
