    SOLD Godin Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance 2010s - Natural

    This is listed on Reverb and Gear Exchange with many more photos. I've owned this excellent Godin crossover nylon string since 2014. For a couple years, I got a chance to gig with it a handful of times. It's easy to play, with high fret access, stays in tune, and the mic imaging is pretty...

    FS ADA Rocket A10 tube amp combo

    I have this listed on Reverb and Gear Exchange, but I wanted to post it here in case anyone is interested. "One of the coolest little combos ever created." I agree! If you've been looking for a quality, simple, classic tube amp, without the high price tag, your search might just end here. I'm...

    SOLD (Pending) Xitone powered wedge (Matrix GM50)

    Finally getting around to selling my beloved Xitone... I've had this one for a while (a little over 10 years). Owned other Xitones. Needed to downsize a couple times over the years. In this case, I recently picked up an EV PXM-12MP. I wanted the dual XLR inputs, Aux channel, and speaker stand...

    Dayton amp for Xitone?

    Does anyone know what the Dayton amp that replaced the Matrix GM50 in the Xitone active cabs is, and if it's a "drop-in" replacement? Thanks

    I recently posted about USB problems with my FM3. Seems the "virus" has spread. Doesn't want to boot up. When I try to boot in safe mode or by loading a clean preset, I get a white screen. When it did load up briefly yesterday, it would not pass audio. Anyone else experience similar problems...

    So, I have more troubleshooting to do but very limited time, so I'm trying to see if anyone else has experienced this, and with success in eliminating the problem.
