These two. At the same time. Because eardrums are made to be tested.

So my Crab Dragon started going up and down a bit in volume and I took it to my tech. Was pretty sure it was a tube issue, but wanted him to check it out thoroughly. Ended up replacing all of the preamp tubes with JJ EC83 tubes and power tubes with 6L6. He did some thorough burn in testing and I got it back yesterday. Significantly more punch and clarity with the new tubes. Really digging the sounds even more now.

What does the fx loop buffer do for you?

OMF, this is the perfect setup.
I know a gear soul brother when I see a DUAL dual SD-1 + MT-2 setup.

In reality, beyond providing input (send) and output (return) level controls, it adds 2 tube gain stages and some EQ that help me abuse the phase inverter for glorious saturation and added harmonic content.
It definitely colors the sound and is by no means transparent. I love the control it delivers for the KK 50's unbuffered fx loop, and I am addicted to the extra mojo it brings to both the "clean" plexi channel and the yeti style lead channel.

Got three boards set up that way. It gives you perfect options for variety, and when you really wanna poke out through the mix, slam 'em all.

More love for my early (T0324) Triaxis, upgraded with the Recto and v2 display panel mods.
