You can switch between what seems to be a 4x12 greenback response and a 4x12 mesa V30 cab response with a button on the front of the unit. They’re not labeled that way, that’s just how I hear them.

The React II is the best loadbox/attenuator I’ve ever used

Great looking guitar. Sorry about your spouse’s job loss. I’m likely to be dealing with the same bullshit sooner or later.

That’s at least a 6 month wait in Larry time

Gotcha, thanks. No, there’s no reason why Rick would need to approve these. In the same way companies that sell guitar pedal or amp PCBs/kits don’t need permission from the original designers. The only thing that carries a trademark is the name or brand.

No, I actually don’t. Please enlighten me

I want to experiment with tightening up the low end and adding some high end cut to give more articulation. A Maxon OD808 in front of the amp sounds great, but I want to get the same result without the pedal (and without the extra mids and gain, as the amp already has enough of both). Is it as...
