Up for grabs is my EVH 5150 III 50w. I love this thing, but buying old crusty rack gear is calling my name in 2025, apparently, so I need to make some room. The blue channel is the real magic on this and blows away my older 100w version's blue channel. Awesome high gain sounds, solid cleans, and...

Up for grabs is my Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III Mk I. It has served me extremely well throughout the years, but my PCM81 does the FX I need in a smaller package for studio use. It's in very good condition overall with the most wear being some rack rash on the top and bottom from mounting. Corners...

There are more changes required than what he points out... Also, the schematic he is using for the IIC+ isn't official. It's a fan drawn one by jrb32. They are indeed quite close, though. And as far as why you'd choose the amp over the preamp + poweramp, well... That is the age old question ever...

There's a TSB for the early 07 variants: Not saying this is your issue, exactly. But just something to note.

Nice, is that Mark's that he just got?

Very cool! Is that the one that was on Reverb? I was eyeing one on there, but I ended up grabbing a different preamp instead.

Cool stuff! For those who might not know, the Prophesy is a digital modelling of the Egnater IE4. Bruce was telling me about how it drove the engineer insane trying to model all the tonestacks in the digital space haha. So all those voicings in there are basically the channels of the IE4. I...

Bought a preamp from him. He double-boxed it and packed it for war. Sent pictures every step of the way, has amazing communication, and just great overall to work with. Highly highly recommend!

Amazing deal for a high quality preamp!

Nice! Does this also have the SE mods to go with the transformer change?

Killer stuff, excited to see what you come up with! Known ya since forever, and it's great seeing you finally being able to get the time to make this a reality. 🍻

Jacks on the right by the power.

Cool unit. Just understand what it's trying to achieve at its price point. Requires some manual reading as it has more than just the 4 effects built into it, too. Gate, Volume/Input/Output level, EQ, and Tuner are always available for every preset making it more versatile than it appears at...

There are a lot of reasons why this could happen ranging from dirty FX loop jacks to tubes/sockets to even bad solder joints that only break connection when it starts to warm up.

My USA Archon loop was pretty garbage even with the FX loop fix applied (removing C2 and swapping R6 for a 47k 1W), so I'm not surprised the MT15 also has an issue.

The analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog (AD/DA) converters in a lot of these units that don't have an analog dry-thru color the sound of the amp. Some can even cause some slight impact in feel as there's now a bit of a delay compared to the raw tube amp due to the AD/DA conversion, albeit...

Not really. H9000 exists if you got deep pockets. Lexicon PCM96 is purchasable...although I'd never buy one. Behringer FX2000, although I have no clue how good it is. Other than stuff like that, it's most likely gonna have modeling or other additional features. Classic stuff still works and is...

If you aren't prepared for some MIDI programming to make things seamless with this old rack gear (MPX1, G2, PCM/70/80/81, Eclipse, SPX90 and so on), then don't even consider them. You'll have drop outs when you play if you try to switch patches during jamming. There are ways around it by living...
