Apart from the housebrick power pack of the Q2, is there that much difference between the two units? Anyone who has followed my posts will see that I was ripped off when my first very expensive Q20 turned out to be a Q2, I subsequently bought a 'real' Q20 and loaded it with Charlie's EFTP. (insert bow down smiley here).
I realise that I won't recoup my losses, but I shall probably buy the EFTP for the Q2 and then decide which one to put up for sale. I just remember the Hank youtube interview when he said that his echoes by Charlie were programmed into a Q2.
If the EFTP results are the same from both Alesis units, I will then have to ponder which one to keep.
Advice would really be appreciated.
James.

Hi James, There isn't really much difference. The Q20 will have a slightly cleaner signal with less background hiss. Not all Q2 units are suitable for my programs. It must have version 2.00 or 2.01 software which was included in units with a serial number from approximately Q25515XXX onwards, as far as I have been able to tell. There are also other possible issues with some Q2 units. Regards, Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Can the early Q2's be upgraded with a firmware replacement ?.

Hi Les, Yers, they can be upgraded with a software chip change, but there is a further modification that might be necessary to the memory reset circuit. Some earlier Q2s were already officially modified in this way but some were not. Regards, Charlie
