Ground Force One 2

+rebuilt self terminating 1/4" speaker jacks

+Soldered ground right (If I haven't posted that);
&Soldering the XLR pcb ground wire directly to the ring terminal of the board will result in permanent ground hum and signal loss.  Solder to self terminating jack terminal corresponding closest to FX loop jacks.

+replaced frequency emulation compo C7 and R20 as a trial since the amp is fucking redline sherbet 8===r=e=d=l=i=n=e===D

&swapped Electro Harmonix 12AX7 preamp tubes back in.  The sticky fresh test tubes were nameless faceless asian guys.  Plan on experimenting with a combination of JJ's, EH, and generic Chinese tubes with a backpack around Europe for a while until I place an irresponsible order through the Russian Federation for a triad of AMT warm stones.

This post is mostly notes; 

Just, just setting the Avid Eleven Rack to communicate with Reason 6.5 (Also pending an irresponsible purchase regarding update to 8 something something.)

I read something about the clock rate of the 11R causing hiss over microphone input and that the default clock (44.1khz) was a contributing factor or entirely to blame or... whatever.

&You can't get reason to register by name as the external clock source via usb.

&You can still get your DAW to set the clock for whatever, 11R, with no AES cable.  If you have an USB cabe.

The 11R expects external clock to source from an aes/ebu connector. This can be shuffled in Reason if you:
1. Connected via USB
2. In Reason, under Edit > Preferences >> Audio tab  >>>Audio card driver, select ASIO Avid Eleven Rack ASIO (64 bit).
3. Sample Rate > 96khz.

In this order, I was able to have the 11R register 'Int 96khHz' in less than twelve seconds.  External clock will still register 'Invalid or None' but the clock rate is right so who fucking cares.
