Eventide Eclipse - worth giving a second chance, or no?

Here's the picture of my rack. All of my front-end effects are on my pedalboard, and my rack is basically designed to house whatever comes after my pedalboard. As for two SE-70's, they're my main chorus units - one is a main, other is a spare just in case. Still yet to secure a second BRB-120 power supply for my backup SE-70.

As you can tell, right now I have 5U rack space remaining, just enough for two Fryette power amps and a Yamaha SPX90.

I would put the power amp at the top personally, but it may just be paranoia... its a good sized rack... for instance I can't imagine needing the decimator but I'm not a gainiac... that said in studio terms its very small, don't have any non-table tops under 40u for ventilation and line matching and ground isolation units and lots of power conditioning ... I tried 25u but its too tight and went big, though its not practical for road use.... I would want a roadie to lug your setup and a guitar tech to look it over every night, it heavy and has a lot of failure points that can prevent any playing, not just laying with your full arenal

good choice on the T8, I have 2 myself (studio and guitar rigs), rock solid piece of kit

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Yeah, since I'm predominantly into prog power metal I need the Decimator to keep my high-gain tones in check. This way my starts and stops are tight AF without the extra background noise.

The T8 is a life-saver for MIDI, really. Helps to keep MIDI signals as clean as possible while changing presets via my PBC-10.
