I'm thinking about to buy the Prophesy, but it's a bit expensive, hehe, so I don't know if I end bying the Chameleon 2000... anybody knows if the Chameleon is a good rack ??

(of course I know Prophesy is better, but how much better?)


Can't help with the Chameleon but I ma thinking about a Prophesy too ...

I tried Chameleon 2000 once,years ago Juan.
As far as I can remember,Chameleon 2000 in not a tube preamp,am I right?
And it's not only about tube but about other features as well.
I shall need to try it again to notice real difference between C 2000 and Prophesy
but I guess there IS some. smile.gif

Another question about the Prophesy... Has it got a loop to conect other effects? for instance an Equalizer or a delay rack.

(Excuse me I don't know exactly how to translate my doubt :|)

As Muris says, you could do both at once if the midi pedal was up to it. MIDI has facility for channels and program chang messgaes, you could set your amp up as once channel and the effect as another and have them work together, your pedal sending the appropriate messages to each device.


the only problem with that is I dont speak MIDI very well and tend to not be able to get the most out of the processor assigning presets laugh.gif

You can sometimes get someone nice to send you their midi or sysex file if you post a request on the right forum dogman. Saves having to look through the midi code tables smile.gif and some people actually seem to enjoy writing stuff like these files blink.gif . I get MMC files for my console that way smile.gif .

Cheers,
Tony

The reason I suggested LDRs (perhaps opto isolators would work here too) is that I want this to be a drop-in replacement for a variable resistor both for retro fitting, and to keep any of the digital stuff far far away from the analog path. But, I am totally open to suggestions

Dont know if it's still an issue, but Maxim has some solder in choises:

Thanks I'll check these out - my immediate concern is that they seem to be limited to 5v but I may have misread that smile.gif

Mmm - yes they are probably limited by the supply-voltage. There is a 24V version, but I dont know how much you need.

Not quite sure myself to be honest - some pots should be ok in this range, but valve circuits routinely have 300+ volts running around inside, I'd have to do some calculations to find out the voltage drop across some of these places. Food for thought though, thanks!
