Members Beastly Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 couple things i noticed right away. 1) no footswitch And i cant even find one on the net...how does this work anyway? 2) I see the external Bias adjustor....but dont see where to hook up the meter. My DSL has three prongs beside the adjustor...any help? 3) I must say my first reaction was how much less tank-like it is than my marshall....had knobs falling off (no prob now) front grill was a little bent in (no biggie) but i mean...i was expecting alot for nearly 3 grand canadian...just feels a little...i dunno...cheaper than the DSL anyway which is definetly not the case...but oh well, its how it sounds, and there it has the marshall beat in a lot of ways. Thanks to anyone willing to help this dip{censored}. ....counting down the hours till 5 oclock so i can blast this puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobrahead1030 Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 get a hold of derek b at www.rocksolidamps.com about the footswtich, he hooked up me upyou can also use any midi footswitch which is VERY easy...just step on the patch you want on the footswitch, and hit the save button on the cobrahell you might even be able to score a used boss gt6 or gt3 cheap, and have some FX built into a footswitch i use a gt-6 for fx and switching on mine btw...i've also got the framus footswitch, and another boss midi switcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members crwnedblasphemy Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 Not coming with a footswitch is pretty slim! I think for the money you spend on that amp, it should come with one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nwright Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 Did you buy the open box one from music 123 or whatever it was? It was 1749 or something... I checked out the Framus amps at NAMM, and while they sound great, the build quality is kind of a let down. I don't think I could buy one in good conscience unless I only played at home or had a nice head case to keep it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
