Nice cabs!

That TC delay is awesome, such a cool item to have. I was playing one last weekend at a friends. Some good Robin Ford tones in there!

I got them on eBay straight from China. IIRC, I believe the seller was Wonder_Buy, it's been almost 2 yrs. I turned Brian of CE on to them and he grabbed a batch.

Yeah, you should remember your kids.

The first time that I heard that dynamic ducking delay over 20yrs ago, it gave me a woody. The 2290 and the PCM41 are my fav delays. The original plan was to put the PCM41 in that rack, but it was too deep

Hmmm; of the CE series it might have to be the one thats missing, which is the MusicMan 700V supply non-HRM with the fat bottle 6CA7's. It was the first one that I built on the CE chassis and it's sitting semi gutted waiting to be rebuilt.

However, of these the 2Gen is just a barking hoot with all guitars and a must have. Now the #183 has a cool edge and is sweeter when used with the loop and RG400 cables, just don't use it with singles coils in the OD mode....thin city.

The 6V6, was an experiment for something to compliment a Strat better, which it does. There were a bunch of deviations that I made, but the mid plate into the low plate just rocks, now it's a different animal so I'm still figuring it out.
Also, I love the ability to run a pair of EL34's or 6L6's with this setup too. I wish the JJ's were a tad warmer sounding when you bias them cold. I might have to try the Tung Sols one day. Overall, this quad 6V6 platform deserves a second look, maybe an high plate or low plate HRM version.

Great find! I looked everywhere and found some from China on eBay but they have arrows instead of lines and are just a tad small. I may have to contact CE and beg if they still have some.

Triple threat! Love the snake skin.

I'm working on an early type with the precision PS, dual masters, hiwatt style HRM and 100w of 6ca7, what didn't you like about the dual masters?

Thanks, Erik
