3) Any known issues?

thanks for any feedback. Helps with buying decision.

2) It does not have preamp out jacks. So no. Not without modification.

Nice amps though, I love me 900V.

There is a "PROCESSOR LOOP" but I realize now that it sits in front of the volume control. Both on my 700 and 900. Great amps indeed.

Yeah, that's at full line level volume, where the tape loop is I think. The correct place for an EQ is before the volume control.

I have a 900V and have enjoyed it over the years. Seems to have had a very difficult life before I got my hands on it but keeps going strong.
