Still thinning the herd. Can do package deals, etc. Really look to sell instead of trade at the moment, but you're always willing to shoot your shot in my inbox. :cool:
My Eclipse arrived broken because the seller didn't properly pack it, so no comparisons from me :( Powers on, but screen no longer works. What a bummer.
Had the Ultra in the past. III just sold last week. The III was a major improvement over the Ultra in every way. Highly recommended. If I played live, I'd be grabbing the III every day of the week. No reason to ever take out classic rack gear unless you're 100% dead set on a very specific sound...
AxeFx was my favorite, followed by the G-Force in that list. Getting my H90 sent me down a rabbit hole of all this classic gear again. Maybe I'll report back when my Eclipse arrives.
I'm on this journey myself. In terms of rack gear, I've tried:
AxeFx III
PCM81
MPX1
G-Force
G-Major 2
Intellifex
Intellipitch
Multivalve
IPS 33B
The Leon Todd comparison was kinda strange because not all of them sounded equal. H9 and Micropitch pedal sounded especially bad IMO. I got an...
Adjustable fixed bias :) https://carlscustomamps.com/cathode-vs-fixed-bias
I believe only the "stealth" version of the heads have a pot to adjust externally. Other variants are internal (assuming they're fixed bias and not cathode biased like those lunchbox variants). Could be wrong, going by...
Before I begin, I am *not* leaving the Synergy ecosystem. I am just downsizing as I collect amps that either meet my needs or am working on setting aside funds for their equivalent preamps because I like the Synergy modules so much. This is basically the result of playing Pokemon too much as a...
Used to have that old Afterburner thing. I remember it being noisy as shit, and I didn't like that it was a knob. Would have just preferred a fixed setting I could easily enable/disable. So something like the PA2 with the EQ would have been better for me.
Have tired HZ1, HZ2, HZ3, and HZ4...
Yep, this is accurate. However, don't forget, there are two different types of PT100s. There's the CAA version and the Suhr version. Even though they were both designed by Suhr, they are tweaked differently. The CAA will be more modern sounding than the Suhr one. Suhr is much more classic...
I have a PolyTune 3 mini, Strobostomp (old blue one), Strobostomp mini, TurboTuner ST300 mini and a handful of others. I like the Petersons the best. Every one of those has its own little quirks that isn't quite perfect, though. Apparently making the perfect tuner pedal is hard :V
Just updated to the very latest firmware version. Did not update the presets in case you wanted the SinMix stuff, Leon Todd, Periphery, Gift of Tone, and a few custom ones I made. Can also provide those digitally for anyone who purchases this. Might have some Austin Buddy things too.
Bruce reached out to PRS directly, yes. He traced the schematic a bit, but it ended up never getting truly fixed. The 100w do indeed have the FX loop noise issues, even with the "fix" they have which is removing C2 and replacing R6 with a 47k 1w resistor.
Edit: Also had an issue with a bulging...
Crazy adventure, but it sounds like it's finally sorted after all that. Really hope you enjoy the amp. I still love mine to this day even if it isn't the perfect "end all be all" amp forums tried to make it out to be nearly...shit...nearly 20 years now...
