UGH! I've had this happen once too when someone shipped me a 2:90. It's one of the worse amps to ship. A good rule of thumb when shipping these is to tape a 4"x 2" wood block to the back of each of the exposed ears.
If you haven't solved this bend already ----- this can be hammered out. I'm not recommending it, but can speak from experience I have hammered the ears of a 2:90 straight before.
Also, if you haven't tried them yet, Deep and Modern voicings are fantastic. If you don't have a pedal relay set up, you can snag two of these
D'Addario Pedalboard Cable Kit Connector - Right Angle with Latching Switch, Single
Single Solderless Right Angle Plug with Circuit Breaker
www.sweetwater.com
I almost always keep Deep and Modern on with mine, and these things allow you to use the red button on them to turn the voicings on or off.

I just realized I repeated myself. Oh well, it's good advice at least

You did, but it was good advice. I picked up the jack switches you recommended a few weeks ago but haven’t done much with the 2:90 - waiting on the Studio Preamp to get back from service.I just realized I repeated myself. Oh well, it's good advice at least

Got the patchbay completely wired up full normal mode. It’s like adding magic to the setup.
I should have worked a patchbay in years ago. So nice being able to reroute without crawling on the ground. lol
Labeled it but that’s going to last about 37 days before I end up having to break out a sharpie or sticky note.
There is a special place in hell for designers that make devices with power switches on the back, but thats about the biggest gripe I have atm.

Power it all down with the furman after putting your power amp on standby. I’ve done that for years.Got the patchbay completely wired up full normal mode. It’s like adding magic to the setup.

For sure. A lot of times I do, but eventually I hate having something on for hours that I’m not actually using at the time.

Favourite case ?
Power amp separate to make it easier to move or old school rack of doom?
"FRFR" cabs for wet in a WDW?
Solid state fr for wet ?
Favourite mixer for analog dry ?
Big midi foot control and pedals in the rack or hybrid?
Favourite front end looper for not changing your dry sound?
Favourite cables?
Favourite wet cabs in WDW ?
Anyone here running a true bypass all analog dry signal all tube?
Answer on a postcard please!

Favorite case:
My favorite case I ever gigged with was my Odyssey 8 space. It had wheels, was wooden, and not expensive. But it was carpeted, so after a bunch of gigs and sitting in the back of the trailer it has quite a bit of fuzz on it. Keep the power amp in the same rack, it’s not that heavy if you’re using 10 spaces or less IMO.
WDW - nah I just like using rack gear to have a big stereo sound. I love my 4x12 and the sound of the sides split into stereo is just beautiful. I’ve never tried WDW but would love to someday.
Favorite cables: Mogami bulk cable with SP400 ends for pedalboards, Monster instrument cables in the rack and from the guitar.

I don't gig much, every few years at most now, any soft rack case does the trick for me.
Definitely the power amp in a separate case for.
As I run plenty dry in my wets, "FRFR" for wet is problematic as most FRFRs has DSP and will introduce a tiny bit of latency messing with the phase.
I had a Matrix for a while, felt it did the trick
I have the RJM Mini Line Mixer, super transparent, very happy.
Never racked pedals so can''t really answer.
RJM Mini Effects Gizmo, love it!
Mogami.
Ideally same cabs/speakers for me for W/D/W is a like plenty dry in the wets.
No AD/DA conversion happening to my drys ever. If I'm going to use the Axe in my amps loop I'll run it parallel.

Nice, I overlooked this. I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger on the GFI Duophony, but need to do the deep dive this RJM one.

That PCM41 panned delay and chorus around 21:20
Triaxis cleans with the wobble patch on the PCM70 killer too.Rack is just the coolest.

I know it's crap by comparison to the PCM70, but this has me itching to dig my MPX 500 out of the garage and see what I can get out of it. If nothing else, I'll probably like the reverbs over the ones in the helix (I'm using the PAS setting on a TC Electronic Arena in place of those now).That PCM41 panned delay and chorus around 21:20

And really fun video by Michael there.

Back in the late 80's I relied on an Alexis Quadraverb in my rack until I later replaced it with the Rocktron Intellifex and ProQ devices.

The formula has the best clean out of all of those.
