Ultimate Rhoads

Hey guys I need to take some pro photos with a white or green background, but finished the pedalboard Labor Day weekend after finalizing on the custom looper I designed and used under the hood, painted the pedals gray like Randy's and finally spray painted "RANDY RHOADS" and "HANDLE W...

Yep! Just like Randy's!!
Even can turn the Space Echo and Delay on/off from the pedalboard!!
I'll post videos this Summer some time.

Gotta add the labels back above the lamps and install it back into the rest of the enclosure and roadcase.

Hey guys, forgot to add on 4/26, I could not let it go and painted the switches the correct color as Randy's to make the board even more authentic!! :O
The perfectionism never stops!! God Bless Randy Rhoads.

Here's my clone of Randy's pedalboard (Chip Pan) I built Nov 2019 and finished for this 40th memorial 3/19/2022 and posted over at the pedalboard thread. Enjoy! To my knowledge, it is the ONLY real clone and not just a bunch of pedals built on plywood that anyone has done and in 40 years!! :O p.s. -...

Yeah, besides Bob, the family and Rudy Sarzo are all alive and would be good people to engage to get some feedback...why pedals chosen, when was the pedalboard made, who made it, when was it made (Ozzy or had previously in Quiet Riot) Yeah, would have been cool if Randy answered directly. It was coo...

Yeah joediesle, you're gonna have to provide 100% proof of that. Everything says Peter Holmes did it and it was delivered to Randy in England. Some people confuse Pete Maertens (Ozzys long time friend now dead and Randy's Guitar Tech) with Pete Holmes, sometimes Pete Cornish. But everything on the w...

Yes. Bob Daisley communicated the pedalboard in his book For Facts Sake on Page 125. "Randy had an effects-pedal board made by a technician called Pete Holmes in London. Stuart Hopkins, our guitar tech, delivered it to Randy at Clearwell and I taped him using it for the first time. It had a 'Cr...

Oh, a couple things...what's your vote on the head??

1. Keep the faceplate black and white, or make gold and black like a Marshall?
2. Keep the footswitches all black, or paint gray, like Randys??

I can make even more authentic, but people really like what I did. Just curious of there's opinions.

Thanks soo much Mikel Yeah. It's pretty cool and a little breathtaking. Now that I've done it, it would be easy to reproduce as I have all of the suppliers and parts list defined. Don't plan on mass producing it or anything, but I'm sure I'll probably make 1-3 for select people and that can afford i...

Which one? This one?? or....

Oh, yeah, I know his does. On Randy's its hinged on the top, I think spring loaded possibly. There are 2 inserts on the bottom where 1/4 turn screws go into, turn 1/4 turn to lock. That would take additional thought, so I left off. If you look where the screw holes are on the top, Pete made it much ...

Today is a happy day and sad day....We lost Randy Rhoads (my favorite guitar player of all time) 40 years ago today (on my birthday), but rejoice and celebrate his life and contributions. Today, I finished a clone of his original pedalboard custom made by Pete Holmes! I started working on it 2 years...

...just a couple updates... 1. Was not able to finish the pedalboard over the holidays due to: i. After start assembling and wiring, had some questions in regard to the looper and question if it is now going to do what I want (it's technical). If not, I will use a custom one I came up with over the ...

I noted in the STEVEN ROSEN/ANDREW KLEIN/PETER MARGOLIS book that since the photos are such hi resolution, you can read the main amp serial number on the front! After reading thru it completely, I went back to see if there was a photo of the back of the 74 Les Paul headstock to understand what seria...
