poipounder57, congrats! I'm still tweeking around with mine but I'm diggin it.

do the amps have a serial number? are there any totals of amps at this time?

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.

what wattage resistors are needed?

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?

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.

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?

A friend ask me this and I told him I'd try to find out.

ratio is set at 3 as well.

Plus one on the cleans. This amp clean stands up to any amp I've ever heard.

My od trimmer was at 11:00, I had to keep the level set at 1 1/2. I backed the trimmer down to 9 and then raised it back up to 10:00. Just that small amount made a difference, now I can get the same amount of drive with the level set on 3. It's not as touchy.

Oh yeah, this amp responds so well to the volume knob on your guitar. Also it seems to likes the neck Humbucker on my Les Paul better than most amps too.

I'd buy this amp again in a heart beat.

Agreed about the clean channel, it's wonderful and the boost makes it that much more.

I'm going in to adjust the od trimmer. Mine is HOT! I can get all the od I want with it set at 1 1/2. I'd prefer it if the tone I'm getting on 1/12 was the same as at 4 that way I could tweek down a hair. I'll report back on what I learn.

I'll say it again, Nik, this is a great amp!

I didn't know th MK II Boogie used a fetron but my MK I (they didn't really say that, that's just what people call them) came with one. I still have it and it was never installed. Mike Bendeneli (sp?) told me they used them when guys CRANKED the amps so far they would go so wildly microphonic you couldn't play them. The fetron isn't a tube so it isn't microphonic. At volumes most mere mortals play at a tube sounds better to most people. Larry Carlton did use the fetron on some recorded solos back in the day though.

SO mcinku, what's the verdict?

I'm liking mine.

Mine was just over 9 weeks so maybe it will show soon. I think he has the cabs coming in better now.

The trimmer for the od must be set high because I can get all the od I want at 2 for a strat and 1 1/2 for my les paul. I hooked a TC M-One in the loop, works very well. I was afraid the passive loop wouldn't work right, works just fine. Who'd a thought?
