One of his Echoplexes:

From my website:
"Take a look at this unit, one of Queen guitarist Brian May's modified Echoplexes. The unit has been extensively modified but the most visually striking mods are the addition of the double-length record head rail and a double-length case which has been fabricated to house it. "

Happy Birthday Brian! When I think I Brian, I think not only of Queen but also of Vox.
