Congrats on the new house, Jer!!
The Colossus is a great sounding preamp. I had one briefly and really enjoyed it. The only deal breaker for me was it had a weird switching system and the G-Major wouldn't switch the channels with its relays. But in terms of tones it sounded great and very close to a 5150.

Going to rock the 6505 Synergy module tonight. Wife slipped on ice and broke her hip 2 weeks ago so I have been out of the playing game since then. My fingertips are going to be pissed.

I'll never use the clean channel anyway so that's not a problemGuitarbilly wrote: ↑Sun Mar 09, 2025 12:12 am Congrats on the new house, Jer!!

Congrats and HNIncomingKCD!!!! WOO HOOO!!!!
I have two 5150 pedals but, haven't been too happy with them.
Since you guys like it so much, I'magunna have to look into this!
Does the foot switch allow both channels at the same time or, A/B between lead and clean?

Re: incoming: Kartakou Colossus
I believe it switches the channel and loop

It's taken a few weeks, but this is now in the country and should be here in a few days!

Awesome! Looking forward to your thoughts.
