Maybe get a nyc pal to grab this one:

Similar circuit to the one you posted above but without all the extra PA channels.

Yes! I love that Garnet logo and Solid price too

Has anyone combined two Focusrite Scarlett 18i20s using ADAT before? It seems pretty straightforward but curious of any gotchas. I'm trying to record a whole band in my basement and need at least 12 inputs so I'm thinking of just chaining two of these bad boys together, considering I already have a Gen 3 Scarlett 18i20.

It should be pretty easy in the Focusrite Control software but if you're on a mac you should also be able to do it creating an aggregate device in Audio MIDI setup and running them both via USB.

fwiw in PC land TB audio makes a free software that lets you do the aggregate device thing with asio driven devices on windows. I haven't expanded any focusrite stuff but I've done a bunch of other io devices over adat and it's always easy and flawless

Can you do that across manufacturers? I don't know that I have a use case for it, but you know.

Does anyone build a tube/solid state/class D combo amp that is just a power amp and speakers? Seems like it would be an interesting option for all the modelers out there now. FRFRs are awful, and there's combo amps for them.

I always thought if you could get a Rhodes Satellite it would be cool for this if weight wasn't a concern. I've seen them go for WAY too much, and sometimes a reasonable price.

Chicago electric piano has made new versions of them.

Is this something one could pretty easily DIY by just getting a cab and screwing some generic class D power amp inside it?

This came to mind now that I have the DeVille and using my modeler for OD and modulation. I still use the combo preamp, but the whole reason I got the combo was because I wanted a different 2x12 cabinet than the one I was using.

I was thinking of finding an open back and mounting the class D power amp I have inside it. First, I tried the Tonex Cab, but FRFR--even with the EQ corrections--still kinda sucks compared to a "real cab". I couldn't find an empty cab or a loaded cab that was going to be cheap, so I just opted to get an inexpensive Deville. I didn't even know they had an FX loop in them, but having a tube power amp as a possibility to use with an amp modeler really got me wondering if this has been considered before.

I'll probably continue using the preamp in the DeVille because it sounds good and there's nothing wrong with it. But there does seem to be a market for a combo amp like this, from what I wanted to what I've seen other people talk about on the internet.
