These are new questions that the other McI-related threads don't appear to cover, unless perhaps in passing ...
I'm ready to ship my "new" MC50 out for servicing/upgrading to include the usual replacement caps and resistors where needed. As I'll be using the unit strictly for guitar amplification, I'm considering these additional mods. What do you think? Are they worthwhile? The tech I'm working with is fine with the work, that's not the issue, it's me wanting to be sure the changes are good ideas.
1) Replace stock stock cord with an IEc outlet for a detachable cord.
2) Replace stock input jack with a 1/4" female jack.
3) Replace output strip with a pair of 1/4" female jacks (@ 4 and 8 ohms; I would not need a 16 ohm output).
And is there anything I'm forgetting to consider?
Finally, I'm anticipating copping a 2U heavy duty road rack for my FYD preamp, seating that on my 1X12, and running the MC50 open on top of the road rack. I've not seen others do this. Is there any reason to avoid this approach?
Thanks as always for any and all feedback!
