The SLA seems to be twice as powerful. The CF200 is 200w mono while the Matrix is 500w+ mono. There also seems to be a setting that turns on current feedback for guitar use? I have no clue what that means lol
I only paid like $120 for it so it's a good deal it seems.
Current Feedback is how the Quilter Power Amps work.

Yeah, the GT1000FX is more powerful. I was comparing my SLA-2 and GT1000FX yesterday.

I learned how you can take those cheap Harley Benton Power amps and solder a jumper on the board to make them run on 120V, so that got me thinking, lol... I wouldn't mind a couple of those cheap small GPA-100 units. That got me looking into the power amps I have.
The GPA100 apparently does the same thing. Some dude posted his results on YT and it works.
I almost bought a pre-modded GPA400 on Reverb that popped up. But it was mid-week before payday and someone snatched it before me lol. I almost caved and bought one from Thomann, but $230 shipped vs $150 shipped. :lol:

Also the Quilter shit gets a ton of love, so I hope this means this CF200 is at least decent in that regard lol.

Yeah, it looks like you can do it to the GPA-100 and GPA-400. I thought about grabbing a couple 100s, just for the heck of it. They are super cheap.

Next up is that Orange Rocker 15 Terror. I’ve really been in the mood for kind of a simple, slightly goofy, low-powered tube head that’s not supposed to sound like anything specific.

need a gig bag, clip on tuner and a compressor pedal

I don’t know if you’re looking for recommendations, but I really like the Peterson clip-on, even more than my previous favorite, the TC Electronic UniTune. It has a ton of sweetened and instrument-specific presets, and it sorts out false notes better than the TC. It sometimes lags a bit on tracking the low B on my 5-string basses, but it always ends up being right.

The JCA22h just arrived.

It really needs to get a depth mod asap (it only has the front channel switch mod apparently and full JJ tubes) but it sounds *really* good already. Not even sure I will do a SLO mod or anything else on it for the time being. I will however check that no mod has been done on it, with those you never know.

I'm pretty happy with most of my gear except for my Guild X88. I fucking hate the kahler on it, but I don't really want to sell the guitar (since it would be very difficult to acquire another).

Clearly the only solution is for me to build a hardtail or floyd version

Kahler makes hardtail versions of their bridges that should be a direct swap.

On my JCA100HDM, the SLO mod basically cleared up the gain. It is less mushy and muddy, and it has more clarity and pick attack. It is like the cross of a JCM800 and a Recto.
