*Requesting user name change to "Discount God"*
i don’t know if I’d trust a discount deity... mostly omniscient? Like 51% all powerful? :D

For the record, I am NOT mocking anyone’s beliefs, just referring to the previous post...
 
Noob Tech Question: I have a pedal switcher with an A/B switcher that uses a TRS out. If I plug a mono cord (TS) from that to the MG-800 footswitch in, will it still work with no issues switching between the Clean and Drive channels?

Joey, this should work. The MG-800 uses the Tip and Sleeve to switch the channels, as long as you switch is using the same (I think it would be) you should be good.

Naw naw, the discount thing is basically my way of saying that I have all the value at a fraction of the cost.
 
We were talking about a vertical format array though...
With the lineArray the benefit of vertically aligning the 10's is moot. Except for making the cabs taller the 10's are giving omni-directional Bass so vertical or horizontal dispersion is about the same, while the Array is taking care of the mids and highs that the vertical lining of the 10 in a standard cab would benefit from.

Stop thinking as old cab technology. Mr Genzler gots this for us. :smug:

One thing about the vertical design cab vs lower profile horizontal designs, this is one big reason whey we went to the SLANT concept on the BA12 and 210 designs with the line array. Yes it is still a short cabinet profile BUT it the case of how it disperses in a live setting -- it is better than a vertical design since we're projecting the baffle at a 6 degree angle. One you're a very few feet in front of this type of cabinet the dispersion is much more vertical than a flat front vertical cab. Just more food for thought...
 
This application already exists in the 6-lb MG800, using either the EFX loop send or DI out.

Take the MG800 preamp signal to your fave class A/B power amps and answer your question of how the preamp sounds with different power amps. Use your favorite stomp box for the exact drive you favor. Discover that the built-in MG800 power section compares favorably to your class A/B choices, and go happily with just the MG800, saving space, weight, and setup time.

I don't have a MG800 and a pedal preamp would be cheaper. Mesa has this.

Once again, different people have different needs. This group is very inflexible against the existing Genzler product line. :laugh:

Mesa is on their second gen pedal pre, Ampeg, Eden and GK have one, Trickfish just released theirs, Epifani just previewed their one on FB, Aguilar and Sadowsky have had theirs for quite awhile... I wouln’t be surprised if there’s a prototype or two in the Genzler labs...
