Thanks for the welcome! I checked and my old username is not there (gofaster). Did this site have a different URL 10-15 years ago? When I tried to login (chrome saved my username) I got a 404 error. I searched the carver site and came to this location. Anyhow, I didn't get banned lol. And my contributions were limited too since I joined when I got a pair of MXR-130s from him and needed information to fix them so no big loss on my old posts.
Yes, I still have the 130. After restoring it I put it away after final testing and adjustments and only recently took it out of storage. It now is the centerpiece of my old school/new school combo 2ch setup, with a TT, Cassette Deck and a network streamer. I never have any issues with it, and I shouldn't given the amount of time and work I put into it:). I'll never get rid of it. I still love the way it looks and it sounds as good as it probably ever will, though I should probably find some speakers better suited for it (currently driving A/D/S L980's that really need an amp with a little more oomph).
