Ultimate Rhoads

Just to add a note to that last photo posted above. I have noticed in this photo and a few others that if you look where the last jack is on the right there are what appears to be two knobs right above it. They are protruding more than an unused jack would and have a slight resemblance to the MXR knobs on top of the board. In the photo above it also looks like they are running either some black electrical or duct tape across all the jacks which is pretty much blocking out what is the best view in any pic that I have seen of the board jacks.

Those photos were all from Nassau Coliseum, August 14, 1981

I will see if I have that, or where it came from

Thanks!

Looking over the newest Getty released photos and going thru them, I noted a few thing also!

1. The height of the pedalboard seems to flush and the same height at the Roland volume pedal all the way down (or just about?!??).
2. There are DEFINITELY "7" jacks, not 5 as shown in the Wolf Marshall and Rig photos online. I'm assuming the 5 are as assigned in the rig layout for Input, Chorus Out L, Chorus Out R, Space Echo ON/OFF, and DELAY ON/OFF. The other two, I'm assuming as the pedalboard has an "EXT" or External switch on the pedalboard and would be used as a SEND and RECEIVE for turning on and off effect in the loop. I note in one of the shots of Randy's actual amp I believe can from Kathy, there are 2 addl jacks on the back of the amp in addition to the 2 speaker jacks! This means, the amp had or could have had an fx loop in it! Whether Randy used it or not is another story, but I noted it!
3. In some of the early photos, there appears NO labels on the back of the pedalboard for all of the jacks, but in later photos, I can see they are labelled in some photos, so must have been added later?!??
4. There are THREE jacks on the back right side. I dont know what they are, but would think a 120V input and fuse would not be out of order. Only thing is, I never see a power cord attached!
5. I'm just using 3PDT switched to True Bypass things, but I wonder if those footpads are just momentary's? If so, they can be had, but since not switchable, then we're talking pedalboard actually had a switcher/looper in it to switch already on FX on and off?!?

More on gettyimages (+few others), some unseen maybe?

Good find keep em coming..cheers for posting them up.

A few more photos from 1980 & 1981 im gessing the 1980 are from the Hammersmith odeon.

A few more from the 80's

Yet few more photos of Blizzard Of Ozz at the Ridge Farm in march 1981!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ahhhhh..........sweet find on these Ridge Farm pic's!!! Oddly, i was just reading the other night how they all received personalized track-suits while residing here and one morning they all decided to go for a jog to stay in shape lol. Poor Randy didn't even make it 3 minutes, before he had to stop and was gasping for air due to his heavy smoking habit.

"Poor Randy didn't even make it 3 minutes, before he had to stop and was gasping for air due to his heavy smoking habit."

Yep. Read the same thing in the Rosen - Randy Rhoads book!! He might have been skinny and seemed healthy, but the smoking of the Winstons really were compromising his lungs!! :O
