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 -------------------- Youtube

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... If your amp would offer that Andrew,I MUST HAVE one!! 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. -------------------- Youtube

Hmm - I really don't think it would be too hard from an electronics perspective - the only part I don;t have an answer for yet is replacement of a potentiometer with a device or circuit that can vary its resistance based on a digital signal. One possibility would be a Light Dependant resistor and an LED with varying mark space ratio, but there has to be a better way, I'll do some research. The key point is that the control electronice mustnt interact with the tube circuit in any way at all ... I could even build it so it could be added to existing amplifiers I think. Ok, its a long term project but I think it is a good idea - love the idea of switching FX and amp voicing all at the same time - could be really cool! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
