I was in the same situation as yours (searching in the net) and I think I read it here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/source-audio-eq2-programmable-equalizer.2112543/
I think the twin sister is the amp you're searching for then!
btw DS is an hybrid between a JCM800 (preamp) + some hot rodding and a JTM45 (power section)
I had a beautiful Jackson KV2 that I regret selling....it was white with black bevels....sounded amazing just couldn't bond with the small frets....could have just refretted it :p
My main concern is actually about the Cabclone circuitry inside of it. If it's the "old" cabclone (resistor based) or the "newest" circuitry used on the Cabclone IR (reactive load)
yeah or you can simply rack up some new CIOKS power supply, super compact and super powerfull....you can put them in the back of the rack or in a drawer (fixed or movable)
I use it to control my rig (effects and loopers) and (ideally) change channels of my amps...to have a separate switcher (midi controlled) for each amp I have is really a pity since some manufacturers already implemented it in their line ups (e.g. Diezel, EVH in the 50w models etc)
Mesa Mark IVB (2008) and this is staying! Absolutely the most versatile and best amp I ever had.
Had in the past:
- Mesa Dual Rectifier 3 channel (non multiwatt)
- Mesa OS 412
- Mesa Mark III (blue stripe) combo
I much preferred the metal corners in the old ones (aesthetically speaking).
I am confident they will sound just as good as the old ones and with less noise and a more modern FX loop.
Happy owner of the 40w DS since 2015 and I have to admit it's been the main amp GAS killer of the last decade.
it's the only amp I never thought about selling for a single minute!
I want to buy one of these Scott Dixon Triple row cases but I will need to store for quite some time some Gibson Customs and since they're all finished in nitro I was wondering if the inside foam/padding of these cases is "nitro-friendly" or not...
I have previous experience with plastic stands...
