Nice. Indeed, I also prefer the older circuits. I used to have a MKII and foolishly sold it. Later bought the MKIII and didn’t really like it. I recently had the Mini and had the chance to compare it to a borrowed MKII and MKIII and my preference is still the MKII so I sold the Mini. Now need to find a MKII of my own.
I did it a while ago; I used to own the darker version then bought one of these more purple ones when one came up, so before I sold the first one I hooked both up. It was a lot of fun, very vocal sounding.
The Levine book is absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to understand jazz harmony. It’s such a clear and well-laid-out book.
Cash preferred but there are a few trade items I’d consider:
2EQ ‘90s Stingray (with flea bridge) or Classic;
Fender American Professional II precision;
Fender American Standard Precision 2012-2016 (with CS60 pickups);
Moog Voyager.
This looks interesting and has some nice additions compared to the Microtron.
It adds individual dry and wet volumes as opposed to just the overall level control of the IV (allows dry to be mixed with bandpass for example, which is a very welcome addition).
Also adds a continuously adjustable cutoff frequency control as opposed to the fixed 2-position high/low switch.
Two requests I’d like to make if this were to become a reality: it’d be nice to be able to optionally have the cab sim on the 1/4” output. Similarly it would be nice to be able to optionally disable cab sim on the XLR output altogether.
