hey muris, i was wondering how long you have been using your current live rig. your tone is amazing. that said, are you satisfied with everything? since i heard your tonal diversity, i have been considering a rack system instead of my 100w tube heads. i have read reviews on practically all of your gear, but i would like to hear from someone that i have actually heard/enjoyed. particularly the prophecy and the 2:90. did you try any other pre/poweramps on your way to deciding on your current rig? anyway, just looking for some info from someone whom i know knows what their talking about.

Thanks for asking!!

Well,I've had Prophecy since 2001 I think.Before 2:90 I had Two Fifty Mesa power amp,also in use with Prophesy.
Great one as well but I just needed more watts,that's all.
About rack system,I think much important stuff is to have Midi option while storing presets etc.
Prophesy is Tube preamp with FXs and has great Midi support.
I wanted to have TriAxis as well but I found it hard to use with expression(as general unit's output volume) pedal routed via Midi.
Prophesy does that job with 127 moves while Triaxis has only 20,with is not what I was looking for.
Maybe I'll take TriAxis and G-Force(which I had few years ago) in near future,just as a another rack setup...
Tube heads are ok but you're limited with sound options.
Again,it still depends of what you're going to play...
Hope this helps a bit smile.gif

ive been looking at the prophecy 2. is this the same as you have, or did they stop making it? rocktron website doesnt have it, nor could i find it on ebay. i cant find where it says that the prophesy 2 has any tubes in it. did they stop making the tube model?

Prophesy 2 is the same unit as Prophesy 1,it only has some signature presets...
IMO,that's not much useful unless you have same guitar,power amp,cabinet etc as the artist himself... smile.gif

If your amp would offer that Andrew,I MUST HAVE one!! cool.gif
And if it's dry amp without EFX,you don't need anything else in Midi support.
Just add some processor that supports Midi as well in EFX loop and that's it. smile.gif
