I adore this amplifier. My only issue is the noise floor is more accurately described as a roof. Maybe a sky. Lead channel is f'n noisy.
Anyway, 2 questions that pertain to this issue.
1. For live use, do effects in the loop work with the preamp out?
2. In addition to the question above, I know the original 5150 doesn't work at all in standy mode. Does the 5150 II?
I'd really prefer to just use it as a preamp with its switchable effects loop, run that out to an NS-2 then slave it to the power section of a Bogner I have that the preamp's busted in. Its power section is quite tasty.
If I have to use a dummy load just for that, then that's so god damned retarded my brain may indeed cave in from the sheer stupidity of even having a preamp-out on the damn thing.
Anyway. In advance. Thanks for your help guys.
