My tastes gravitate more towards the Yeti. I ended going with their 2203 though, and just using pedals for hot rodding it.
Whether you go Yeti or Chupa, IIRC there are just a handful of basic components that differentiate them. Nik will even tell you which ones you need to change out to convert...
I think Jake E, Lee still uses some form of NMV. Either a Marshall or one fo the two he's had endorsements with. George Lynch bounces around, but seems to prefer big iron Marshall (or Park). These guys are just doing club-sized gigs.
With the two amps I primarily gig, I can pull a pair and limp by on 50w if I have to, adjusting the impedance accordingly. That's the plan if I ever lose a power tube at a gig. I think part of it depends on how gracefully the tube dies. I think I'd prefer to leave the socket empty until I can...
Of the two, I liked the ISP better. That said, I racked the few pedals I do use, and ended up with a Zuul instead, which I like better than any of them. So that's my preferred rackmount noise reduction option.
I buy from Reverb, FB marketplace, otherwise the usual online sellers.
As far as selling, amps and guitars are usually local only, so craigslist or FB marketplace. Otherwise Reverb, TGP, or gear-specific Facebook groups.
It seems like most companies use boxes that barely meet the minimum of what's needed, and they lose at least some of their structure after one trip through the system. Plus shippers seems to be increasingly careless, which is probably the result of trying to shuttle a larger volume of packages...
Try to relax. You can still play hard without tons of tension. The stronger your fingers are, the easier it is to apply pressure without tension. Just look at classical guitarists and violinsts, even pianists. If you've spent years reinforcing a heavy-handed approach, it's going to take a lot of...
I have a 2006 LPC that I think was around $3200 new. I've played the crap out of it, probably falls under the category of Very Good Condition, and I bet I could still get close to what I paid for it.
Check the MIDI settings on the 11R. I think you have to enable MIDI thru so that it echos MIDI commands to the out/thru port.
If you plug the foot controller directly into the MIDI in on the GM1, do the preset changes work?
Do you need the GM1 to change presets separately from the 11R? I find...

"If the rhythm clip is engaged in LEAD mode the diodes of the rhythm clip circuit have no affect for that point in the circuit grounds the signal.
What it does do is introduce a minimized path...
I remember reading about this somewhere. Even though the clean/rhythm channel's two diodes aren't part of the signal path for the Lead Channel, there's still some effect on tone or volume (of the lead channel) when rhythm clip is pulled. Perhaps they cause some change in voltage that affects the...
For a while it was the only effect I had in the loop of my amp. I gigged that way for a couple years, and it worked great. Even though you can only run one algorithm at a time, some of the algorithms contain dual effects. Still a bit of a limitation though, but I think they are great devices.
I've got a JB in the bridge of these two. That's my go-to pickup for my rock-oriented guitars. Then usually either a 59 or an Alnico Pro II in the neck.
I've got a V-1 Hellraiser, and a V-1 Blackjack ATX, both MIK. I paid less than $500 each for them, used. I think they're outstanding guitars, and I'd have no misgivings about getting another one. I preferred different pickups than the stock ones they came with, but that tends to be true of most...
Did you physically remove the clipping diodes from the circuit, or how are you not getting diodes in the lead channel? IIRC the lead channel has always-on diodes that aren't affected by the rhythm clipping switch.
