I quit playing when these were just getting popular and now they no longer make them. Since I have started playing again,what replaced it that is still available?I have a friend who has a Profex ll and just got to try it out for a few minutes yesterday.
If buying a used unit what do you need to look for?
Do they still make the tubefex and what are the big difference in these 2 units?
Thanks Scott

The Tubefex came out after the Profex. It is supposed to be a little "warmer" than the Profex. The Profex II had a place for a card with the programmed settings. You could get a pre-programmed card from Jeff Newman along with a video through Peavey. A good deal at the time. Both units have been discontinued.

The Tubefex is no longer produced either. The main difference is the Tubefex offers an optional tube preamp as well as the regular transistor preamp that is in the Profex. There is also no front panel and rear panel gain controls on the Tubefex, this is done via the "Global" settings and using the up and down arrows. The Tubefex is a newer technology than the Profex. It also has a built in chromatic tuner. The tuner does not work very well unless the unit has been upgraded to version 2.0 ( a cost of about $80.00 in parts). You can verify the version by looking at the chip while the unit is open for other inspection.
If you are looking at a Profex or Tubefex you need to verify that the circuit board has not sustained damage from a leaking memory battery. Just remove the six screws around the top and open it up for a quick look.
