Thank you man ! We are all in the search for that sound.Some damn fine choices there!

Yup, "basic" rigs can totally be fun just as well, without the heavy luggage. No mistake to assemble quick grab'n'go boards.I took my board apart a few weeks ago, because I was doing some delay and reverb analysis and needed everything separated.
And of course, band practice last night from 7pm. So at 5:45pm, I had to quickly rush a board together. Couldn't be nobbed to build the full thing, so just put on: volume, wah, tuner, DD500, RV5, MercuryX.
And you know what??? I was able to achieve pretty much everything I normally would have with the monster board.
The only part that sounded bad was a particular ambient intro section where normally I'd use the analog delay on my Source Audio Nemesis, and I ended up just using a digital delay on the DD500. Was too crisp and clear and distracting. Everything else was phenomenal though.
Get a TU-3W. You can turn the buffer off. I like the Truetone CS7 and CS12.I’ve got some work to do here but it’s a good start.

I need a tuner with true bypass, I hate the tu-2 buffer, and for some reason it’s got like a 5 second delay when I turn it on before it starts working. I need a power supply that can power the stomp and the rest - very open to suggestions. Right now it’s a rat’s nest of wall warts and extension cords. And I probably need a different delay, a good spring and plate reverb, and maybe add another drive.
No truly remarkable changes compared to the last version, but they have a sorta big impact for me:
- Finally soldered that footswitch for the GT. Should've done it ages before. Now I will never ever have to enter manual mode again for normal performance.
- Tonex One replaced the Amplifirebox.
- Amplifirebox replaced the Amp Academy.
Sound is fantastic for what I need.
Unfortunately, I may have to buy a second Tonex One to replace the Amplifirebox. And then possibly a third one, so I never have to remove the others from the board. Yuck.
I may as well just wait for a Helix Stadium, but knowing I likely can't justify the expense for the time being, I rather turn this setup to perfection as good as it gets.

So is the GT-1000 just handling post-amp effects?
