    Captor X impedance curve

    Hi. Does the Captor X and Captor have the same impedance curve? Is the reactive hardware identical in both?

    Rack build: How to route the FX send signal?

    I'm putting together a rack, with several delays, reverb, and multi FX units and a 1u mixer to combine the outputs back to the FX loop return. But how do I split and distrubute the FX loop send to the various units? At the moment I have a little 1 in 4 out 1/4" jack box, but need something...

    JCA100/50 mod - heater hum fix?

    Hi, very late to the Jet City modding thing, but I hope someone might still remember these! I've just done a JCA50H mod on my JCA100H following Jason Tong's scheme he published, video here. All is working well except for V2 which is picking up a lot of hum, presumably from the AC heaters...

    Recommend some great delays, verbs and multifx

    I've got the bug after picking up a Yamaha D1500 delay. I absolutely love it. Instant 80s. Love that there are no menus and only 16 presets! It's just so musical and uncluttered sounding. And it's midi. What's next? I'd like a lexicon pcm 70, but prices are pretty steep. Is the mpx1 worth going...

    What causes amps to 'warble' on single notes?

    So I just bought a boutique amp and the standout thing was how single notes clearly rang out and decayed without, for want of a better description, note warble. I had to I swap back to my other amps to double check it wasn't just the honeymoon effect of new gear, and the difference was obvious...

    Yamaha D1500 vintage delay

    I've just bought one of these vintage rack delays but first time powering on there was no sound. Bypass worked and passed through audio fine (you can hear the relay click) but when disabled it was enabled it was silent, no level led, nothing. There sounded like a bit of DC on the output level...

    BE 50 Deluxe vs Small Box vs Runt 50

    Never played a friedman, but want one. But I'm a bit confused by these three amps in the product lineup, why they exist as separate products and what differentiates them. Can someone explain the reason for them and why you might want one rather than the others? I think I have a handle on the...

    Carvin X50B - best amp ever?

    Well of course it would be impossible to really claim that as it's all subjective, I've never played one before but I have to say I'm blown away by this amp! If you think they are just for 80s hair metal think again - blues and clean tones are stunning too. Responds to you playing with...

    Rebel 20 - valve noise, microphonics and hum?

    Hi Had my Rebel 20 for a week or so, and I like it a lot but it has developed some noise (crackly noise typical of a bad preamp valve) and a bit of a farty sound on low notes. So I swapped out the12AX7s for a few others I have, but no matter what valve I tried in V2 it was always very...
