Amp1 + whatever 1x12 you like.

Wow- that's a stunner. (So is that burst next to it!)

We're talking about cables in an FX loop, right? In any decent loop, capacitance shouldn't be an issue.

Wow- someone paid $3,250. Too steep by almost a grand. Not bad for a $2k BIN (which I wish I'd seen ...)

Agreed on the modeler. I keep a HX Stomp on my board for those "just in case sounds"- doesn't take up much real estate. In addition to the usual effects, I'll use it for things that get used sparingly but are nice to have- flanging, virtual capo (for a quick detune), whammy, leslie sounds, etc.

For a buffered loop? Shouldn't really matter. Capacitance isn't an issue. Use whatever's handy.

Hah! That's a great idea. I have a pack of 50 left over from putting up solar lights in the fall- I'll have to dig them out.

Fair enough! I sort of went the other way- replaced a bunch of pedals with the Stomp due to the small size.

There are some decent videos out there- Thomas Blug does a good job of putting it up against his old Marshalls. The Jennifer Batten video was the one that caught my ear a while back- she was an early adopter. But I think it's like any amp you're considering- you won't really know if you dig it...

What didn't you like about the HX Effects on your previous board?

Great review. I have the Mercury Edition- it's all kinds of great in a small package. I'm interested to try the Iridium when I can get my hands on one.

A barely playable 50's Supro archtop (currently in pieces somewhere in my attic). Worked well enough to get me to the next step- a Yamaha classical that I could noodle on. First electric I built myself in high school. "Local" guitar store in Toronto had a build-your-own-guitar course. Took two...

Interesting- submitted as well.

I've had 2 Naylors- they kill. Imo, the clean channel on the Duel isn't great- it's dull and the one I had was a bit noisy. Buy you're not buying one for the clean ;) I wish someone had taken this design a bit further- even switching between the 2 inputs would have really added to the versatility.

Amp1 if I don't feel like dragging the Guytron around.

I stayed there years ago and had no idea I could borrow a guitar. Hah. I was probably far too drunk to be near one anyway.

You can make your own patch box pretty easily and mount under/at the edge of your board. Lots of ways to customize it for your own needs. If you're not handy with a soldering iron, it's a good beginner project. Much easier to make your own stuff where possible.

Not sure about Antique Electronic Supply, but 'The Tube Store' is Canadian. And yeah ... these are all good reminders to stock up.

If it sounds okay with a VP in the loop, I'd think that would be more convenient. Or wire up a 25k pot in a little box to do the same thing.

I'll second the BTPA suggestion, they do good work and aren't particularly expensive. I've also done homemade - also great, you just have to source everything. I generally run cables for the amp, loop, and channel switching/MIDI (you can do MIDI via a TRS cable- you don't really need 5 pin DIN...
