My back voted for me, so I trimmed the rig down a bit.

The smaller rack is still a tad heavy, but I can pick it up and carry it myself. In place of the power conditioner, I installed a power strip in the back of the rack.

MUCH more portable! :D

When I read the title I thought you may be sticking temptation in front of me again.

I've actually been playing the Strat exclusively for the past week - it is just singing to me.

Sorry, Strum - no temptations. I'm glad you're still liking the Strat. It is a sweet one. :beer:

Now get rid of that wireless thingy and your set up is "cool" ;)

Ah, but I like my wireless. This is my gig rig, and the wireless is indispensable.

It sounds pretty good, too. :D

nice.

i suppose thats not that much heavier than a tube head?

being as how the rack sits ontop of the mesa cab, and the whole lot is on wheels, i guess its still easier on the back than the Germino :)

Mmmmmm... Fractal Axe FX :AOK:
Very nice! Have you posted any review or observations on it in the past? I'll have to wait for a small lottery win to get it or the Ultra, but who knows?

There are a couple of threads about it in the modeling amps forum that I commented on. I absolutely love it. :D

The new rack probably weighs as much, it not more, than the Germino - the power amp is a boat anchor, but it's much less bulky and easier to carry. I think I'm going to look for a lighter power amp. I had this one laying around doing nothing from an old PA system, so I pressed it into service.
