My collection thus far - I've told myself I will only have a max of 20. I am entirely a hobbyist and use them for stress-relief lol. All are strung with Ernie Ball cobalt flatwounds. Apologies for the terrible photos. Some day I will do an actually photoshoot. Ibanez SR1350b - B standard...

i emailed JAM with the same question a few months back. They said it is fixed and not adjustable. A shame because I find the default setting too noisy and shrill. Especially when compared to the Red Muck’s second gain stage which is perfect to my ears.

Got the SGT-DI repaired. The tech ended up replacing the pcb board. However in Ampeg fashion their new pcb for the unit doesn’t accept the old knob design so those are being shipped to my residence. Here’s hoping this hassle leads to the new one lasting.

Brought mine to an authorized Ampeg dealer this past week. He said it is likely due to one of the two pcbs inside the unit. One of them controls the SGT circuit and compressor which is where mine has failed. The part was $115 out of warranty. The fact that Ampeg’s response to this has simply...

Yeah it’s quite discouraging considering the price of the unit. Only other pedal I’ve had fail was a behringer sf300 but $25 down the drain is far more palatable than $400. I will definitely update if the certified tech is able to diagnose the problem.

Did you find a solution to this by chance? I have run into the same issue and my pedal is past warranty.

Same thing happened to me several months ago. My local repair places have been unable to fix the issue so I’m bringing it to a certified repair place outside my state. Not too far thankfully but still incredibly disappointing. Ampeg support has been quite lacking considering the price point of...

Love mine as well. Plus, it’s headphone & aux outputs make it a beast for silent practice.

I think they’ve had one more edition come out. The new X ultra is very prices but certainly worth it imo. It’s got the same features as the X7 but a few more EQ sections, a cab sim and auxiliary/headphone inputs for silent practice.

That’s an equally sick board my friend. How do you like the cat tail? I was debating between thar and the blower box but decided on availability. Also I imagine that MBd-1 is killer. Considering the demos I heard.

Thanks man for the compliment! It took a good amount of time and money to figure out what worked best but I’m glad the effort paid off. Still a little iffy on the Athena for modulation but otherwise I’m as content as I could be.

Just added the Microtubes Ultra X and man this things slays. The filters on it make everything else on the board sound so much fuller and meaty. Plus, its compressor and eq saved room on the board. Really one of the best pedals I’ve ever used. My only grip is that the filter knobs are difficult...

Little bit late to the party but here’s my board. Just got the Darklgass Ultra X and I got to admit, it’s pretty darn awesome. I don’t use it’s distortion much but its eq, high & low pass filters and other benefits make it a killer pedal in both uses and price. The others aren’t too shabby...

As someone who just moved to an area where bands actually come I feel your pain. I missed a few bands before I moved and now I don’t know when they’ll be back. Thankfully, Acid King is coming in September and they’ll be my first concert. I’m so pumped

:( That’s what I was worried about. Good thing Canadian engineering knows to have safeguards.
