Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to part wth my MC100 and live without it for a while. I'll hit Nashville next year and see if the MCII gets it's hooks in me the way this one did.
My apologies if you see this in another forum. I've done quite a bit of searching and found that not a lot of people use these pedals the way I am interested in. I own an early Shiba Drive and use it as a neck pickup lead boost. I don't really love it in any other application but the way it...
I have an older MC 100 that just roars on the dirty channel. The rhythm channel is great for clean sounds but needs to be nearly dimed to get close to that break up I'm looking for. It ends up louder than the Lead Channel. I use a Bogner XTC in plexi mode for this and get a pretty punchy tone...
I have zero need for the pedal being discussed in this thread but I do want to know who the delicious tramp in your avatar is? Is that Taylor Swift's porn star older sister that no one talks about?
My girlfriend and I were just saying the same thing. I do agree with a few of the angry posts on here that this can seem like a bunch of people feeling sorry for themselves over the death of a guy who had everything. There is a huge part of me that feels really silly for being this sad about...
It was hot as hell when I got it. The guy I bought it from had Winged C's in there. I think mine is an early to mid 2000's build. I didn't ask the tech brought it down to 32ma. There is a guy here in the city that has an MC and said he thinks the amp is unlike most modded Marshall's. I...
I'm going to put all new valves (pre and power) in my MC and have the bias adjusted. Rick told me to use JJ ECC803's which I think will work well as she is pretty bright. I also have more gain and saturation than I will ever need. In essence, I have plenty to spare. I'm wondering if the...
Wonder if this is gonna be the Blue Channel from the XTC with (plexi and full gain) that a lot of people have been asking for? Hard to tell from a Youtube vid. Sounds a little more open to me than my 101B's Blue channel but I like the dual input idea for guys that use switchers. Of course if...
I'm wondering if these connectors made by Amphenol and Gepco are a good idea for connecting signals on a pedalboard to a pair of small racks?

Is there any issue sending hi-z guitar signals...
I saw this and thought "This would be a great idea for my PRS." Beats the rotary knob. Though I wonder how durable that switch is shifting through it like gears on a car?
Thanks for the info.
I'm kind wondering if I should just have the bridge humbucker not even connected to the backplate? I only really want it for the single coils by themselves. I never split the humbucker and just use the single coil tap alone, only for the Bridge/middle in parallel. My...
I know most of the talk on this forum is usually geared a little more "post pickup" but I was wondering if anyone here has done this to a strat.
I have a partscaster. Three pickup single/single/hum (Suhr FL's and an SSV). It has pretty simple wiring in it right now. All 300k pots with a...
I'm glad someone else hears this as well. I've gotten a few IM's from people saying "they are the exact same in Plexi Mode."
I had a feeling the tone values would be different. Though changing the bass value is probably much easier than cloning the whole blue channel. I would only do this...
Thanks for the info. I'm sure my clean channel will be a bit more mid forward being a 101B vs. your 6L6's but it's a good starting point. I'll let you know how it works out when I get my hands on one.
That has certainly crossed my mind David. I might stop by Makenmusic and try this. By the way, what are your clean channel settings for running the Blue pedal into?
Thanks for the info.
Just last night I was again trying to dial in the Red Channel to sound like my Blue in Plexi. I had the Pre Eq both set to B2, then matched the gain as close as I could and I used the same excursion and presence. I went back and forth between the two scaling the gain and volume back and forth...
Thanks for the heads up. But there is no way I'd do this myself with an amp this costly.
Though your idea handles the independent EQ issue, the signal path has to be different from the Blue Channel so it isn't going to have the same tone. If that were the case the Red Channel would sound...
I've been toying with the idea of swapping power sections to make my 101B more versatile. I love the sound of my Blue Channel in plexi mode and my thinking was maybe a 6L6 or 6V6 would have a softer attack and a more attractive mid range in the Red Channel. I finally realized that I wouldn't...
