You mean I'm not allowed to call Jule and Marsha at all hours of the night anymore?

OK Monique folks,
I'm wondering how many people out there have had the Monique Rack Mount Pre updated to include the 700 watt power amp?

I'm currently running my Monique Rack Pre with a Crest ProLite 2.0. Everything is fine, great tone, plenty of power for me. BUT.........

I'm kinda thinking about options (translation: spending some money on gear) :D. I just got a new bass, so that's out.

I'm thinking about how nice it would be having the 700 in the Monique pre as a one unit solution.

What does Jule change (if anything) on Monique with the conversion?

Let me know what your thoughts are with your conversion.

I don't have a rack mounted version, but I sure do love my Tardis 700! Great pre and amp combination. Thoroughly pleased with it.

Sorry I can't add anything further with regard to the actual conversion. But it would seem worth it to me.

I am loving my Tardis 700. :)

So, on the 700, I am assuming that the second toggle is to turn off the power amp? On the Tardis 700, is the Line Out knob a push/pull type?

I am one of Jules very early customers along with Baird and Chadd and went with the Dove cage and then last year was one of the early ones getting the M700 Standalone.For me this gives me so many choices to use Monique.I can use the DC with any amp I also have plus I can use any pre I have with the M700.Alsowith the M700 Standalone you are able to adjust the Volume with the Master On it where on the Tardis 700 there is no Master Volume so in a way it is at Full Volume and the Line Level will control your Overall volume.While the Tardis 700 is less to carry from the Combo of the DC and the M700 is the Ultimate Swiss Army Knife !!!

I can see those advanatges. Also, the Bird Cage is just aesthetically so damn cool!

BUT, I think you can bypass Monique or the M700 if you want by using the AMP in and LINE out connectors on the back. Of course, you are carrying an extra pre-amp or amp, depending.

I have an older version, so my amp toggle is on the back, and I'm not sure I have quite the flexibility of the newer version. I'm not even sure what I have on the back. But for me, it's totally good because I'm more of a plug and play guy. I have found the settings I like for each of my basses and now I just have no GAS at all for an amp. I wouldn't mind having a DB750 or 751 for the led sled vibe, but I ain't jonesing for it in any way.

Well, I haven't quite made up my mind yet on what I will finally do. I have no issues with my current Monique/Crest setup. Especially now that I have them in separate, small SKB cases.
It's just that the Monique with the power amp all in one unit would be great for both of the bands I am in.

Plus, I haven't even talked with Jule yet. I saw on his FaceBook page where he added a master volume knob to a DeMonique!

I'm taking my time and considering what I really want/need.......

Thanks for the replies folks!
