hi John could you list what sounds you have in your 300? I'll bet Jerry Korb could help
you with the amplifier/voltage wiring stuff. Jerry? Of course you could always run the 300
thru a high quality external parametric EQ or similar. I always thought an internal digital
reverb would be great in trons but I realize it's not "authentic" :)
