The Amps I Use In My Studio On Some New Racks.

I just moved into my new studio which is a smaller room, so I bought some shelves to save floor space, get the amps off of the floor, and make them easy to access. I found these cheap shelves at Wayfair. I was a little worried they would be too flimsy, but after putting them together, installing the center struts to stiffen the frames, and doubling up on the wood shelves, they are just fine. After putting together the three individual racks, I bolted them all together, which also stiffened them up. A bonus was that I had some extra room for mic boxes that were piling up on the floor by my recording racks:)

When I record, I will take the amp(s) that I'm using off of the shelf, as I like the way they record on the floor...

Thanks Danny, your DIY racks help inspired me to get everything together. Having easy access to amplifiers is something I've always had a problem with. Even in my bigger studio they took up way too much room.

Looks great.  Like the guitar rack too.  That's really cool.  Very tidy place indeed.

Thanks Josh, the guitar rack was quite expensive, but it was the only one I could find that would hold that many cases. That was my biggest problem, the cases were taking up so much needed space.

Everything is looking pretty tidy.   

I try to do  that once in a while.  It lasts a few weeks....  ?

The goal is to keep it tidy, as I've got 100 lbs of sh*t in a 50 lb box so to say :)

.Great setup, I wish I was that organized.

Even with my bigger room I was tripping over stuff if I didn't keep it organized. When I'm recording it can sometimes get a little cluttered, but before I leave the room I put everything back in it's place, unless we are picking up right where we left off the next day. This new room is actually set up a bit better than my last bigger room.

 
That is a really inspiring space. Nice job. I want to record some music, just looking at the pictures!

It's a nice little place Chris. I haven't been recording up there lately, but once a week, I've been rehearsing with a new band that I just started. The guys love it up there. This isn't a weekly gigging band, but more of a showcase band for my original songs. We will try to get opening slots for bigger bands in upscale venues.
