Thanks man, I loved doing the project but I tend to have ADD when things get finished and move on to the next. She's just been sitting in the rack so I figured someone might want to give her a new home.

The black ranger avatar has been gone for a while now, I used a Marowak sprite for a little while but I think I will keep Archer around now.

Hey are you still looking to sell that Ibanez rg7321fm? Are you able to ship to Canada?

You know, I pay for 100% of my gear with the profits of sales on other gear (my agreement with my wife ), so it's really not a matter of disposable income so much as it is knowing the market and being willing to give up something you like to get something else you like. While I've owned hundreds of amps, I typically only have 1-3 around at a time.

The 9100 has the most complex, rich sounding harmonics of any rackmount poweramp I've heard. Aside from that, it's super dry and tight. If I had to change 1 thing about it, I'd give it a little more girth in the low mids and lows, but it's a worthwhile sacrifice for the awesome clarity and definition.

Compared with the Recto's power section, the 9100 is very noticeably more clear and punchy. The Recto has that cool sag thing going on that no other amp has, but I've definitely moved away from that in favor of amps with a much tighter responsiveness.

Compared with the 5150's power section, the richness of the 9100's harmonics really shows... It's something the 5150 lacks, for sure. The 5150's poweramp has more usable low end than any other poweramp out there, rackmount or otherwise, so it takes the point there.

Hey thanks! It's probably all I'll have for a long, long time, until college is paid off!

No pics, but basically I've just got a 6 space rack with wheels. The PC takes up the top 4, a power conditioner takes up another, and the final space I toss in the GI-20 and an additional MIDI interface (for other gear like keyboards and what not). I usually just go super lo-fi and set the monitor and keyboard on top of it when I'm using it in a live situation. The thing is, that almost never happens. I'm almost permanently in-between projects.

Whatever you do, I highly recommend a trackball. You don't wanna have to worry about what surface you're going to place your mouse.

Haha yep. I needed a poweramp for my rack pre's, and since a 5150's power section levels any tube rack poweramp out there except maybe some of the $1k+ stuff (VHT / Engl), and you can pick up a 5150 combo way cheaper than those poweramps, that's the route I went for now. I still want to pick up a 2/90/2 at some point, but this was a good short term solution. I've got the TITAN around now, which has a killer KT88-fueled power section, so the 5150 was obsolete for it's intended purpose.

Yeah, that ViK is pretty incredible. I will own one at some point in the future, hopefully sooner rather than later.
