I see you have reworked your rack! Looking nice!
Thank you! It's been a long road, but I'm finally settled in to what I love, other than the 2nd preamp. The GSP1101 is cool, but it takes too much time to tweak a good setting. Menu, up, down, back, dial back the chorus, enter, shit, uhh, wait, add some mids, back, store, change the cab, enter, enter, oh shit, uhh, back, damn, ah fuck it! The Engl e530 is looking good at this point. Then again, since I love the M4 so much, an E2 would be a perfect 2nd preamp..

What's the story with/purpose of:
1.) 2 identical TC units?
The top/1st one is in series, which does some slight EQ, gate, and any effects that can't be mixed, such as filter & some modulation effects. My dry center cab is also fed directly after this unit.
The bottom/2nd TC is strictly for reverb, delay, some modulation effects, and only feeds my wet cabs. It's fed from a CAE lineout box that is
after the RT2/50. This gives me the entire sound into the wet cabs of whichever of the two preamps I select, and the sound of the RT2/50.

2.) Carvin (is this a solid state backup to your Randall RT2/50?)
Yes, well, it actually performs two duties. The primary function is wet cab power, as I mentioned above. The 2nd function is simply a backup power amp when I don't bring the wet cabs to a smaller gig. According to Bob Bradshaw, he actually helped with the design of this amp for wet cab use, which makes sense because I'll tell ya, it's really absolutely perfect for post power amp wet cabs. Loads of power, built like a tank, sounds excellent, and it's FOUR pounds! My 13 year old opened the UPS box when it arrived and said "Uhh, I don't think there's any electronics in this thing."
