Got to try that Shaw at some point.

Oh man you guys really had to take it there huh? I've been watching this thread because I'm GASing for the abyss but I've been GASing for the Shaw tube injection since it came out! Would love to hear more on both of these, doesn't seem like a lot of reviews for either yet
Thanks!

Any issue with the Baby Sumo temperature as it has no fan?

 

[MrBEAR]

No temperature issues here.

I accidently left mine on overnight with no issues.

Question. Is the Baby Sumo tube? And is it rackmountable as well?

It's a D class power amp. So no tube. Boutique

You may possibly utilize a rack shelf.
Zip tie the Baby Sumo to the shelf.
I have done this with my Holey Board set up.

And yeah. They are TINY.

Good to know!
I´m planning on having one and mount it on my pedalboard. So is good to know that it deal well with the temperature...

Is there a way to get extended rackmount ears so the Abyss can be center mounted like a U5?

Hi, I'm sure the chassis company could make those -- or you could go with a Zephyr for full rack width and a few more features --

I have the Zephyr which I use with a Quilter BB800 which neededs rack ears. I made the rack ears out of 2 steel plates that I found at Home Depot. The plates are typically used for wooden frame supports. They are easy to bend and drill through. They are very cheap. Otherwise you can get a rack shelf made specifically for small units sold at Sweetwater, etc. they cost more but it's an alternative. With the rack shelve you would mount the pre from the bottom of the pre...if it's got rubber feet then you can unscrew them and line up the holes of the pre with the pre cut holes /slots on the rack shelf...or make new holes.

Are you hooking up the Zephyr through the line in on the Quilter?

As of recent I plug the Zephyr thru the front of the Quilter and keep the gain on the Quilter under 2. I had done it thru the line in and liked it...which the sound of the Zephyr comes thru on its own. If you plug in up front then you have a combination although I do not touch the deep and sweep dials but leave them at noon.
