MFC-101 mk1 and mk2 upgrade question

Is it possible to fit the Mk 3 button boards into a mk1 or mk2 to give it similar functionality to the mk3? The function I am interested in is having the IAs/Scene switches on the front row?

Converting the masses: The Great British Guitar Show 2014

I volunteered to organise the stand for a UK guitar forum at the GBGS 14 and it is one of the best things that I have done. Clarky managed to make it down for Saturday, which cost me coffee and donuts (a small fee), to demo his AF2-Matrix-Marshall rig. As you can guess this drew in a crowd. A...

I bet I can't get a great answer to this one, but here goes.

Why can't the front row buttons of the MFC-101 be IA switches, ( eg SCENES is a useful on, as is Tap tempo.), and have the Preset switching further away from the user? I use scene changes more often than preset changes. MFCs are supposed to make life easier. Why should the user have to risk...

Tony Iommi - Mob Rules - Tone match attempt

I've never really seriously tried the tone match thing so please be patient if this sounds a bit grim. I used a tube-pre into a Friedman. I'll post the TM later. Any pointers gratefully appreciated.

MFC-101 Modification: Making the best MIDI Controller in the world even better

I was pottering about with my rig the other day and blooming annoyed with the fact that, in AF2 mode, the MFC has to have the scene switches behind the the preset switches. I know I can use the reveal button, but I am really lazy, so I do not want to do that. I found a pic of the guts of the...

I want to run Slave a KT88 power stage with a AC30 Pre-amp.

Am I mad, and can it be easily done? I'm after the effect of using an AC30 to slave a KT88 based power amp, maybe from a Fryette D60. I am obviously trying a scientific experiment to see if I can capture someone's sound.
