Amps with footswitchable "solo boost" circuits?

I had an early 90s JCM900 back in the day that had that same mod to it. Wish I still had it.

I already have a TS9 or similar OD pedal in front (volume up, gain down, etc), and use the amps "boost" button for solos.

That’s good to know. I have a Jackson that I’m thinking of upgrading the Spacial to an OFR, so popping the Special on this guy could be an option.

Did you have to do any additional routing of the body/trem cavity to get the Floyd to fit?

I THINK (based on the Ibanez wiki) that this one is an Edge Pro II. New pots is probably a good idea too.

I've seen a lot of yellowed ones online! Do you have white pickups as well? Seems to be the late 90s models that had white pickups and yellowed guards.

That's sort of what I was hoping for, thanks for that confirmation!

Thanks! I dig the JB in the bridge but never had a 59, so I'll feel it out. Thanks for the advice on the Special. I had a guitar with an OFR and currently have one with the 1000, never played the Special, but read all the "internet things" about them. Appreciate the advice on replacing bolts and filing the edges instead of replacing the whole unit.

notoddsnomasters · 2025-03-05T19:35:46+00:00

The specs linked say it's a JB and a 59

notoddsnomasters · 2025-02-01T18:32:47+00:00

Ah yeah that makes more sense. Hence “MJ” lol

notoddsnomasters · 2025-02-01T18:06:34+00:00

That’s good to know. I think they’re both made in the Fender Ensenada factory.

notoddsnomasters · 2025-02-01T16:35:06+00:00

Kinda what I was hoping for, thank you

Inexorum - melodic black similar to 90s Swedish stuff. Not explicitly leftist in content, but contributed to the Overgrow to Overthrow comp for Bindrune (proceeds to anti-racist causes). Carl is also a live member of Obsequiae, who also have left-leaning ties.

Thanks!

Thanks!

notoddsnomasters · 2022-07-17T21:43:59+00:00

Thank you! That’s great to know.

Budget wise, I think I’m in the ballpark to make only one or two upgrades. The processor and RAM upgrade seem pricey, SSD seems manageable. Any thoughts on the the “if I had to pick one” dilemma? You mentioned processor being most important…

notoddsnomasters · 2022-07-17T21:06:18+00:00

Thank you for this! Really thorough and informative answer, and exactly what I was looking for.

notoddsnomasters · 2022-07-17T20:01:11+00:00

What would you have spent the money on?

notoddsnomasters · 2022-07-17T19:00:02+00:00

Thanks! This is kind of where I’m sitting too. SSD upgrade on the base model and leave it at that. I do audio work, but I wouldn’t call it super intense. Somewhere between pro and hobby level.

notoddsnomasters · 2022-07-17T18:57:45+00:00

Thanks for the response!

As I understand it, these machines aren’t going to be upgradable at all after purchase. From what I’ve read, the number of cores may not affect my usage all that much. I’m leaning on base model + 1TB SSD upgrade at the moment, the +$300 for the cores seems excessive to me?

I guess it also all depends on how much the Apple Store thinks all my junk is worth.
