Thank you, still don't have all the bugs worked out -- and I am waiting for a Bogner Uberkab 4 x 12, but will have it firing on all cylinders this weekend ( Memorial Weekend ) Not sure about the pedals that I have in drawer, might swap a couple around??

 

Thank you for the kind words -- fun putting together diffferent rigs.

I'm sorry to say, it never leaves the house :( I'd love to gig it one day...

 

The candy bar :D is actually a bag of silica gel, so that if I close the case while the gear's still warm, I don't have to worry about condensation. Prob OTT, but hey...

Hey, Bob, why do you have both a 2:Ninety and a Strategy 500 in the rack? And, what's your opinion on the performance of the two in comparison to eachother.

 

 

I used to have a Marshall JMP1, so ran two seperate amp lines.

 

I've been thinking about getting rid of one of the PAs, but can't decide which one. They're both great soundwise. The 2:90 has a little more of a crisp, modern edge, whereas the 500 has a more open, high headroom clang to it. Of the two, the 500 probably sounds more 'valve', if you get what I mean...

 

Features wise, the 2:90 is smaller, lighter, cheaper to revalve, and has the deep, modern and half drive switching to directly work with the Triaxis.

 

However, the 2:90 is more easily / profitably saleable (as it's a more recent model), as well as being more replaceable. If I missed the 2:90, I could fairly easily find another (or the newer 2:100) at a reasonable price. Finding another 500 might prove more difficult...

 

Also, I love the build quality and two channel design of the 500. The switching operations on neither amp is ideal, but I think I slightly prefer the 500s: besides, I don't often use 'Modern' (this effect can be replicated with preamp EQ anyway), nor 'Half Drive' (which makes things a little 'spongy' sounding and doesn't actually reduce the volume radically).

 

That just leaves 'Deep', which I use some of the time. You can switch it in or out with the 2:90, but that's all. You can't remotely switch it in or out with the 500 without changing channels, but this does give you the option of a different volume and presence setting.

 

Repairability is a problem, as there was never a schematic for the 500. However, I know a good 'old scholl' amp tech, so he can (and has in the past) pretty much work it out...

 

Power is an issue...I currently have 2 Marshall 4x12s. If I ever decide to slim this down, the 2:90 at 90 watts per side will be easier to accomodate than the 500's 200 watts per side.

 

So we'll see...my head says sell the 500, but my heart says sell the 2:90...

I am thinking to add a Rockman midi Octopus, Furman PL-8E, DMC Ground Control and a FX unit in the near future. (Hope i can get those gear in this year since i am a poor college student ) Is there any guys here wan tto sell a midi switcher to me?

 

Anyway, here is the pic of of my gear. (The ADA power amp to me)
