Location: Utah | The contact pattern is different on the older OP preamps than the newer ones. The online literature says the iDea just drops in, but has anybody done it? |

Location: Utah | Yeah, it implies that it drops in, and the ideafordummies website says it can just drop in. But the contact configuration is different and I don't want to fry anything when a simple can swap would do the trick. |

Location: Pewaukee, WI | I've had mixed results. Works great on my Op-Pro's, works on my Op40 Legend 12, not on my Op50 Custom Legend, and haven't got it to work on my 1121 which had an Op30 installed a couple years ago, haven't tried it on my S771 Op30 yet.
Also, having trouble hearing the guitar through headphones when playing or playing along with a recorded track. Can hear the recorded track just fine. Any ideas? |

Location: Utah | I haven't used the iDea yet, but the manual says you can adjust the volumes of the guitar and the recording separately. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | You can just drop the iDea into an OP-Pro and a VIP.
It does not Drop-In to an OP-30.
It says that it is a direct swap, but that means you can swap the can without cutting a new hole.
You will still have to drill to install 1/8" jack.
You can adjust the volume of the recorded track with the joystick.
The volume slider raises and lowers the combined volume. |

Does the iDea really just drop into OP30 can?
