For an amp with 3 gain settings its a no brainer. On my Peak a DACT would be rough though ;)

Looks like it's coming together!
A comment on an old question - as far as starting a new thread for the GS-X: I think we can keep all the conversations in once place but if that is the plan the thread title should be updated to also state GS-X. A couple of months ago I was looking for a GS-X thread but couldn't find it; someone in another thread had to tell me it was the GS-1 thread I was looking for.

One side of me can appreciate that "those who know, know" where to look for the right info. The other side says you're probably right and it's better for business for prospective buyers.

Justin, can't you can make "sponsor announcements and deals" posts? I guess it may attract a lot of attention however.

I may do that once the new amp is ready unless it sells out first. Here is the current state of the new GS-X:
- Enclosure parts are being powdercoated. It's been 4 weeks, so the may be ready now. Will check on Monday.
- I have all the circuit boards & parts (amp, PSU, and amp modules) they just need to be assembled (easy)
- Just need to get the front panels machined. I already have 2 machine shops working 8hrs a day on my parts, and am trying to get these in the queue.
This production run is for 25 amps, and there are a few left

Thanks for the update Justin. Have you put one together to test the sound quality and are able to tell the difference between it and the old GS-X if there is one?
