I tried just a MXR Carbon Copy delay in the loop alone tonight, sounded wonderful. It didn't mess with the gain structure of the amp near as much as the TC rack unit. I'm now on the hunt for a reverb stomp box. Any suggestions?

Hi Jake,

what do you mean by "messing up the gain structure of the amp"?

 I have been using a Boss pedal and I was thinking of getting a TC-Major or something similar. Can you adjust the return signal gain on your rack?

thanks

The TC rack unit is a +4 db device, it only has a pad on the input. The output is whatever it is. I had to tweek around to get the clean/overdrive to ballance the same as without it in the loop. The stomp box on the other hand is true bypass and off the sound and ballance between the two channels (what I'm calling gain structure) is the same as when on, just with delay. And a very nice dealy it is.

I'm going to get a reverb stomp and give that a try before I spend money on a parrellel loop gizmo for the rack device. I honestly like the idea of carrying a head and two stomp boxes in as a whole rig.

can the TC recover the loss of signal by increasing the output level?

thanks

The TC unit has no output adjustment.

On another note I just ordered a Lee Jackson Mr. Springgy reverb unit (stompbox), if this works like I'm hoping I'll be almost there.

New subject, I found a 2-12 empty cab. I have two G12H laying around, actually 2 new ones and 2 black backs from 1978. What do you think about either of these with this amp?

I'll share what I've learned so far.

Volume 3
I set the switches bright off, deep on, rock.
I use the amps boost only on cleans (only).
I set the EQ for the overdrive side, treble 2 1/2, mids 6 and bass at 8 1/2.
Overdrive 3 (boost off)
Ratio 3

When I click the boost off and the od on the EQ is preset just for the od. With these settings I'm getting a great fat, clear clean tone and a tight overdrive and can footswitch between them. These two tones cover a lot of ground. I can add the amps boost to the od but have to dial my guitar volume back to about 7 but that's another cool tone as well.

Mine´s still in Holland. Nothing new at the TNT online tracking since last friday... Called TNT who told me that they would expect the amp to be here in 2 days. Let´s see.. but I hope so.

Erwin_ve: It seems that your fellow countrymen who work for TNT don´t like to work. 2 days from Malayia to Holland (very fast).. but after arriving in Holland nothing new happened with the package almost for 4 days Tongue Wink Cheesy
