    Sourcing transformers for 2c+ build, Advice needed

    The replacement OT's for old Fenders should be a good choice. The 4.4K primary for 50W or 2.2K for 100W for Bassman and Showman. Are you going to mix 6L6GC and EL34's with the Simulclass?

    Help with Rack Design?

    This new to the market switcher / mixer by Red Seven has some cool features. A little pricey though. https://www.redseven-amplification.com/multi-stereo-line-mixer/ I've had a GCX and Ground Control for 20 years. Good bang for the buck. The RJM and Switchblade are great products too. I'm...

    Random grievance: high gain Kemper profiles "with boosts"

    Rolling down the definition in the amp settings helps. I like using the wet/dry mix knob on the boost. I play mine with real 4x12's and turn the Kemper cab IR off.

    6550 vs. KT88 tubes

    https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/vacuum-tube-6550a-str-tube-amp-doctor-premium-selected I have not tried these. I've only ever had GE's but they are 300 bucks each now and nearly extinct.

    Purpose of center brace in 412 cab

    If the back is flopping around too much it can sound like shit. If you build your back in a way that resonance is controlled without the post. That would probably sound the best. Maybe a piece of aluminum angle across the inside of the back. You could use it for a flushmount jack plate too.

    Jeff Loomis Signature Block

    I wonder what you would get if you wired it into a piezo preamp? I saw that Chris Poland was one of your artist. You should overpay him to bring his rack and four cabs and some heavy chords to film a youtube video. Loomis too.

    Let's see your guitar stands - I need inspiration

    Nice rack and guitars ZEN Amps. That's how I'm going to do mine. Was going to go with Hercules arms but I like the String Swings like yours. Are they 16" apart?

    Reactive load IR w/d/w

    Did you plug it in at let it rip? I think it will sound really good. I've been geeking out on my rack too. I had a sucessful experiment with a cheap 8" full range speaker on bass. On guitar it was ok.

    Easy question on power

    I was just looking at the Black Lion Audio one. The reviews say it has good noise filtering. Starts at 120 bucks. Radial makes one now too.

    Switching computers

    Each company is different. Most of the free ones you could just copy the .dll file from the VSTPlugins folder and you're good. Others you log in to your account on their website. Or they have an authorization program to install on your computer like IK or Waves. Or the iLok thing. So far I don't...

    Connecting electronic drums as midi controller to use with EZ drummer

    What DAW? In Reaper you have to enable inputs in options first. In the track select your module or midi input, arm the rack to record, and enable monitoring. Make sure the track output is assigned to the main out 1/2. Sometimes you need to change midi note assignments or load a drum map...

    Randall Diavlo 1 Watt Question

    I think the 12BH7 is best.

    Randall Diavlo 1 Watt Question

    12AX7 will sound shitty in that spot. You could try 12BH7, 12AV7 (5965) , or 12AT7. The AX7 will sound more gainy but in a bad way.

    Schenker's place in the guitar god hierarchy

    A few of my older friends insist that Schenker is the best. Because of the crazy lead tone and bend phrasing. An earlier version of what Friedman did on Rust in Peace.

    Connecting electronic drums as midi controller to use with EZ drummer

    The Alesis module probably has the midi out on the usb. Just run a long usb cord into the computer. If not, midi out of the module to midi in on the interface with the standard 5-pin DIN connectors.

    80’s Rack Time!!!

    Lynch said in a recent interview that he was putting together an old klunker rack with an MP-1 and Quadraverb and several other from that era. Purpleibby, that is sweet! Those Switchblades are nice.

    80’s Rack Time!!!

    I have a rack project going too and a good friend is giving me a Quadraverb for it. Two stack stereo rigs are badass!
