Hello Bill,
Thanks for inquirng about the Transtube 212EFX amp. Yes, this amp would eliminate the need for your rack effects as it has a digital effects processor built in. However, I must tell you that the equalization on this amp was initially designed using six string electric guitars, but the eq is the "classic" LOW, MID and HIGH design so it will work. But, this type of equalization is preferred by many players.
But, I took a Transtube 112EFX and 212EFX to the Texas show this year and it sounded very good for a small low powered steel amp. [This message was edited by Mike Brown on 24 September 2002 at 06:41 AM.]
