Yeah, the GT is a real weirdo. I'm almost over it, though, simply because this very new setup is doing so much just in the way I like it - there's possibly no other setup that'd get me close (ok, maybe an Axe FX, but I don't want a rack at all).
And fwiw, I'm now gig-ready. Did a test packing and what not.
The PSU on the right will be properly covered tomorrow (no decent wood at home) and the I/O department might need a little bit more love as well.
In the end, while putting things together, I unfortunately noticed that this can't be the final thing. I just need somewhat more space. I actually need to be able to inspect everything instantly should there be issues - and that's pretty tough with this version. Couldn't do any serious cable management, so it's all just crammed in.
Anyhow, this will do for a bunch of test gigs. Absolute bummer: First sealed gig for the board will be in January - got quite some other gigs before, but on most of them the setup is provided by the production and all others require a smaller, suitcase compatible setup. Grr!
