So we are two to have one!

According to Jim Chowning from Rocktron, there were about 700 units made.

Here is a pic of mine, from the inside:

It sounds really good and is really heavy

I should ask copyright for my rig

 

[black_wizards]

But you can't have this collector

Gene, the man with the enormous GAS-inducing amp/rack collection, is getting taunted... this is too good.

EIGHT 6L6s?

That's a mega-shit-ton of tubes.

Your neighbors are going to hate you.

 

[stephen sawall]

It does look cool

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

It was mine. Ya its basically the pre Randall RT 2/50/2 I just doesn't have the cool shit. Midi and front panel bias. Oh ya and its 80 a side.

No offense to you, but his rig will look far superior due to the fact that he has a REAL Egnater IE-4, not a Rocktron/Egnater one. I believe his is one of the Red-faced ones too, so he has you trumped son! Cool setup you got regardless!!

 

[black_wizards]

Yeah! the cool rig is jeff one: Red faced Ie4 and VGA but unfortunately....
Well, I do with what I find

I am a huge fan of Rocktron too so I am still happy of my rig

Jeff: a guy told meonce that the VV can be switched to EL34 with a mod. Is it true?

^^ Sorry, thats not my set up. Gene said its hard to find pics online,
so I tried Google, but he was right, no pics, except the one he posted.
But I remembered that I've posted a pic years ago in a german forum
taken from a japanese site.

According to this pic, Gene has a silverface ie4
The red one is a Climax Preamp from Germany (Soundclinic Ingelheim)

Yes you can loaded each set as different ones. 5881 on channel A and 34''s on B. It's a bitch to bias so if you do it take it to a capable tech and make sure he has a schematic.

Are you going to tell me how to perform a bias adjustment on it?



BTW, yes, my IE4 is a silver face, Pre-Rocktron, actual Egnater. It's a real beauty.
