I use a HOTONE Ampero for my Quad Cortex and I have no complaints.

I still love rack systems!

I use MIDI to switch preamps all of the time. However, the Egnater/Synergy stuff is already MIDI so it was not too tricky to set it up. In my acoustic rig I also use MIDI to switch IRs in my line 6 powercab. I use a really nice Martin D-28 IR and a Gibson Loar mando Ir.....I switch instruments hit a button and I get a different preset in the PC. I am an old guy and back in the 80s I stupidly thought MIDI was just for keyboards. I learned of quite a few applications for guitar and stubbornly learned how to set it up but in no way can I do all of the things I know it can do.

Yeah, whatever........I just couldn't pass up the pedal for the price. It's mostly in the fingers anyway......

I have never owned a Klon but have heard and played many. I have always liked them, just never owned one. I was watching the Anderton guys do a clone shootout. What hit me was that the Behringer Zentara was pretty much indistinguishable from a "real" Klon and every bit as good or better that all of the other clones out there. So I figured I would try one. The Zentara is by Behringer and is currently $62.97 US at Sweetwater so I could not pass it up. It is well built and sounds really great. I had read that the build quality was good and it certainly is. What a great pedal! Most of the other Klon clones start at $200 and go up from there. Granted, I am not a pedal collecter and use either the Line 6 or Quad Cortex versions that are on board their units. This is just a nice pedal to have around for going into a tube amp. I have no affiliation with Sweetwater or Behringer.

Cool! So what does your set list look like?

So are you saying that my H-576 is a solid top?

That's a pre Tariff Heritage.

The fatter body gives it a fatter tone compared to my H 535. It's that classic jazzbox tone. I would never play the Roy Clark style of music on the 576, It just doesn't seem to be built for that.

I think Fender is behind this.

I've never played a Roy Clark but if it is a single cut 535, I see my 576 as a bit fatter. I havn't measured them but just looking at them it appears that way.

Mine must have been ordered with upgrades or someone upgraded it. It has gold bridge, tuners, switches, etc. When I got it the owner had put alunitone pick ups in it. They really did not sound good and looked even stranger on a traditional looking guitar. I put a pair of Dimarzio Anniversay humbuckers in it and it sounds really warm. I don't use it much and am thinking about selling it. But I am not sure I want to part with it as it is so cool.

I have a jazz gig on Friday and jazz is not my forte. I can get around but there are no keys ....percussion, bass, violin and me. I pulled out my H-576 and as I had not played it in like 4 years, I forgot what a cool guitar it is. I guess it is like a 575 with a Venetian cutaway and gold tuners, bridge, etc. lots of blingy stuff. it also seems to have a center block. I'm not sure if the 575 is fully hollow or blocked. It really sounds beautiful....warm and full and jazzy. And it is really nice to look at. Anyway, does anyone have any info on these guys? how many were made? mine is an H seriel number which means 1992. I don't know how long they were made. Does anyone else have one or am I alone in the universe with mine?

Thanks so much to whomever pulled off the rescue!
