Hey all.

I "bugged" Al for a special clip to meet my needs.

I'm sure that Al will sell these to all who order so this should be the right section. Contact Al Risbeck for price and availability.

This was a special order but Al can pretty much make what you want.

I needed just a simple clip on "shelf" for my RV 3 as its hard to see the controls when the unit is sitting on a dark floor.

Here is what Al came up with and it works great for my purpose.










I used velcro to fasten the RV 3 to the flat metal shelf. I could shorten the "shelf" but I left it alone as a person may eventually run separate delay and reverb units.

Simplicity at its best.

Al made a shelf that clips on the leg of my guitar
to hold my tuner and it is a great invention. it
places the tuner on the right rear leg where I can
see it at anytime and it only weighs about 3 or 4 ozs. Great idea Al.

Hi Howie, he asked me if I could make him one for a computer.I told him I could and I'd need size and weight, but I never heard from him again. Also Thank You Ray, Jim and Howie for your feedback on these.

A few players have seen this clip in one of my equipment pictures and are asking where I got the clip from so I am bringing this to the front page again.

Its a great little product.

Hey Al

I really like the clip.

I might make one suggestion and that would be this. If a person were going to mount both a delay and reverb pedal on the clip, the aluminum shelf part would need to be turned up instead of down as the angle would be in the way of the jacks and wires.


Just a thought

Thanks again
Ray

Hey Al

Thanks for the offer but I will only be running one unit and its so easy to change that it would not be worth sending back.

Have a good weekend

Off topic, but Ray, what a glorious view out your music room windows! (Ahh . . . trees!) Hope you appreciate it.

Hey Jeff

It's a "comforting" view to look at after a "long" week of travel and office work.

I spend many hours practicing in front of those windows.

The company that I work for has offered me several higher level positions over the past 25 years but most included moving to the main offices in Houston or Philadelphia. I'm from the "country" and would not enjoy that style of living.

Thanks for the compliment.
Ray

Hey Al

Good hearing from you.

I have a Lexicon Hardwire RV 7 box sitting on my shelf right now. Its a little heavier than the Boss RV3. I moved it in closer to the clip as the "shelf" and RV 7 can fall off easily if bumped.

I was wondering if making the plastic clip longer might help give it more holding power.?

Just a thought.

It works for me as is but I need to keep people and guitar players away from the
steel.

Thanks for a great product
Ray

Actually Ray it isn't braced I just made the clip tighter. All the pedals are mounted by removing the base plate of the pedal, drilling holes as needed the re mounting the base plate to the bracket and using longer screws. here's another pic. I'd be happy to send you a tighter clip no charge.
