Please tell me you have made an amplifier fort at least once in your life.

That is some amazing amplification.
Thanks my Man. The speakers are part II of all these amps. Tend to retrofit all of them with either Celestion Alnicos, Weber or Tone Tubby's. Regarding ceramic it's Celestion Greenbacks, Weber or Warehouse. I know. It's a sickness or G A S.

I found the perfect amp awhile back. Traded the first one I had. Acquired another first chance I had after that and almost made the mistake of trading this one away twice. Thankfully, I came to my senses in time.
I think I've finally found "the" guitar. I've never found a guitar as effortless to play as this one. It's sounding and looking great certainly help as well.lol
The star of the show, however, is the WAZA and Greenbased FRFR cab. The guitar and amp both like it when things are cranked up loud. The WAZA and Greenbased cab allow me to do just that at sane volume levels.
Pedals are, well "pedals". There's always room for change there. But I'm pretty content with the Rodenberg SL-OD and SD-1 in front of everything and the Hardwire Delay in the loop. Of course, GAS will get the better of me sooner than later. I think I'll try new pedals for awhile. Save me from trading my guitar or amp for no reason.lol
Footswitch for the amp is a custom job made by Jason at Amp Mechanic in Greenwood NS. If you're not familiar with his work, you should be. He does fantastic work and even more imoprtant, he's a great guy. He made this for me when I got my second RA-100 and the original switch wasn't with it. It's about a third the size of the stock MESA one, with the same functionality. This was quite important at the time, because there was no extra space on my board. And the cable come out of the top. Unlike the stock one, which came out on the side and used up another three inches of board space.
The Greenbased 2X12, is really just acting as an amp stand at the moment. With the WAZA and FRFR cab, I can't imagine any reason to actually use it again. Which is too bad, because like all of his stuff, it's a fantastic cab. lol

Just some burlap I threw on quick thinking I would put on proper cloth later, then never got around to it. I think I'll pull it all off, glue it up and put some proper speaker cloth on.

Is pretty cool, maybe just spray it with urethane?

How do you like the Fluence pickups on the Explorer?

I like the fluence pickups they are quiet and do what I want them to for recording. I bought this guitar as an impulse buy because I wanted an explorer and didn't want to drop real explorer money. I need to give it a quick set up because the humidity in my house is apparently different than the store, and it has a little too much relief in the neck. Aside from that I have little experience with epiphones, and this one really is impressive for the price I think.
