I agree. The original reverb was also hard to use above 3.

My experience removing the cap is different than yours. For me it made my strat more versatile.

Just bought the amp yesterday because it sounds pretty close to my 67 DR, so I did the update because I've had the bright cap removed on my DR and the sound was terrible making me think I made a big mistake buying it! The reverb upgrade is great. I'm going to go back to the stock firmware and...

Thanks for the feeback. I have some AY7s but no 5751s. I will experiment once I get more a feel for the amp. It is pretty amazing when cranked, and yet lighter than a Blues Junior!

I have an old Weber Mini Mass. Is there much difference between it and the Two Notes Captor and other newer ones?

Sounds good. It will be a nice contrast to my SFDR.

Thanks for the feedback. Will give it a go.

I'm thinking of buying a used 57 Custom Deluxe mostly for home use. I'm wondering if people who have one are satisfied with it at lower volumes.

Great, thanks for the info. The regular 60s are probably just fine for me.

I'm trying to choose between Porter 1960s and Vintage Custom pickups. Has anyone tried both? I'd like to hear what you think the difference is between them. All I know is that the VC are a bit hotter. Is that it? Is the difference very noticeable? Thx.

I have a Topanga which I believe has the same boost as the Belle Epoch. I also find the sound different in the buffered mode, noticeably more colored than in true bypass, and in a way that I don't like with my Deluxe Reverb. The sound is thicker and the reverb more pronounced. I use the Topanga...

Thanks. Never experienced this before.

I like this pedal but have problems with my fuzz volume when I use it. If I use the 5f6 and set unity gain between it, my Velvet Fuzz and other pedals, great, but if I shut off the 5f6 and use another od, the volume drops a lot below unity for the fuzz among the other pedals. Any idea of how I...

Thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the boost offered in the Topanga and the Epoch Boost? Is the Topanga's just a stripped down version? Has anyone out there tried both? Is it worthwhile upgrading for the boost alone? Any ideas of how either compares with the Chase Secret Preamp? Thx.
