So, I've been bouncing my way through the 3 amps and right now I'm leaning toward the fender. The Eden is great, but it's features aren't really a good fit for me. I have a compressor I love, the enhance just scoops in a way I came easily do myself, and the bass boost (while more useful than a typical bass boost because it's more of a parametric thing not just a dB boost} is something I could get with a preamp, or a solid dialing in of a lot of amps. The blackstar is great, but I just feel like it's already 2/3 of the way to the modeling amp anyway. The fender plays nicer with my current equipment in that it will independently power an extension, and it's good for transcription because I'm having an easier time dialing in a match to what I'm working on.
The eden did have a great layout, and the blackstar is the most flexible non-modeling amp I've ever seen. They're all great. (BTW,I know I may have sort of been flexible with the definition of "modeling amp," but I think my point still stands.)
I'm shipping out the "losers," tomorrow, so one more night to wow.

Sounds as if you’re giving all three a fair shakedown. Let your ears do the final deciding, but I don’t believe you’ll come out on the wrong side, no matter which way you go.

I think you’ll agree with many of us that Fender made a serious attempt at bringing the modeling amplifier to a new level of tone and quality build. The Stage 800 will be my final modeler and I feel it’s a worthy partner in medium to large gigs.

Enjoyed the commentary, Rhaco, keep up the fine reporting.

Is thankink comrades for helpful suggestions. But, Fearless Leader has been quite consistent over the years in his choice of hats, although his choice of emblems varies from time to time. Is currently in mood for homage to Charlie Chaplin's "double-cross", while simultaneously keepink Eagle motif!

Enjoy all of them, but when I look in the mirror all I see is the upper-left version. I can’t explain it...

As my incredibly-long birthday celebration winds down (I’m worn out), I want to sincerely thank everyone, from Australia to Zimbabwe ( ya never know), wished me well. You are the reason why it’s so much fun to keep our club’s membership up-to-date.

Since I tooted my own horn about said birthday, I encourage every member in this pristine club to feel free to drop the rest of a hint when your birthday is so you too can feel the warmth of kind people from around the world.

Again, thanks for the wishes, the wonderful JibJabs, the incredible Fearless Leader portrait. The Combo Club rocks! :hyper:

I’m digging the Templeboard. Room enough underneath to stash power supplies and just the right size for my needs. I decided to skip their weird little mounting plates(they ain’t cheap) and got 10’ of Dual Lock from Amazon for $17. Everything stays nice and secure and the Temple gig bag has a nice big extra pocket for all my cables.

WWZDD?

Ohnoes! :laugh: .



Googling for "sweet rig" keeps coming back here. What's with that ...

Okay gotta ask what's with the Templeboard? They look pretty cool for pedal boards. I like their board planner and that's as far as I got. But thinking the small Duo is more than enough for my needs, the Solo is probably enough for my needs. But cool boards.



Heard tell from friends there are lemonade stands where that is considered entertainment.



Shoes for industry, comrade!
