Uh more pics please

I've got the chassis out, cleaning it up. Been in storage for a while, I'd say (dusty), but overall very good shape. I've owned two other pre-500s, and this one is the cleanest I've seen internally - all the others had had repairs at some point, this one is pristine.

Nice! I used to own #28 and I miss it dearly.

Thanks...this is purely an investment, however. As far as Rectifiers go, I prefer the TOVs. But I'm now a Fractal Axe-FX guy, with no 'real' amps.

Am I the only one who just sees the name plate?

 

[carlosasi]

Yes. While all that is shown is a serial number plate it displays more then just a number. You need to dig deeper to discover its true meaning>>>>>>>>>> ok give up? Go here. http://www.TheBoogieArchives.com/2ch_dual_recto.html

Wow that whole story about the pre 500 DR's was cool. It was like reading the Lord of the Rings!! I can't wait for the movie to come out. lol Seriously though thanks for the info it was interesting.

I wouldn't consider that to be the exact pinnacle of factual information.
This, for example:

One notable difference between both amps (but certainly not the only one) is that the SLO uses a Cathode follower for the effects send whereas the DR uses it for the input of the tone stack.

Both amps use a cathode follower to drive the FX loop AND the tone stack.

Fact-checking, FTW!

Where did I say it was the pinnacle? I was just offering more info than was provided.

Ahh..okay.
Thanks.

And I am the one that owns R0005 ha ha ha.....

Did they work out all the bugs by then or was it on R0008?

what are you using the axe with (FRFR, Tube/SS Power Amp and cabs)?

 

[nitrous2400]

thats a nice id plate...did ups lose the rest of the amp :lol:

I started out driving regular cabs with a QSC PLX1802. I had a pair of traditional 412s (sounded great), a pair of vertical 212s (almost as good and a lot easier to move), and a pair of EVM Thieles (sounded terrible).

I was going to 'standardize' on the 212s when I bought a pair of the QSC HPRs that the Fractal Forum guys jizz over. I needed some vocal monitors and I thought these would cover that if they didn't work with the Axe.

I REALLY like them with the Axe - better than power amp and guitar cabs. They don't get as loud, but that's probably a good thing!
