Well thanks for those quick answers to my second question.
to Kureg: your link was still helpful to me, since I was a bit concerned about future support on the mk1 with the upcoming mk2 hitting the market. I knew about that already, but still I was a bit nervous, if the folks at empeg would really support the mk1 (keeping in mind there are only about 400 out there).

Anybody with an answer to my first question?

Best Regards
