Back when I got my Quad and was looking at MIDI solutions, I asked Mario if the CFX4 would work with the Quad, and he said, "unfortunately the quad burns out the cfx4 relays so the cfx4 won't cut it". He pointed me in the direction of the Rockman Octopus and the GCX Switcher. Due to lack of...

I recall someone from the HC forums having a "IIC+" mod done to a Studio pre. From memory, they did a comparison of their IIC+ and the modded Studio, running direct through some kind of cab sim, and it sounded pretty sweet. I liked JJs in my Mark III. Sounded nice 'n' thick and warm, no harsh...

My whole 2nd channel appears to be dead. :( I can get some sound from it, but not much. It's definitely not what it used to be. I thought it'd be a dead preamp tube, but that wasn't it. :(
