Continuing to obsess over minutiae while the world burns, or because of the world burning, I am having a change of heart. I suspect the Tech 21 will be ooookaaay in some departments but it likely comes with baked-in not-so-goods such as fiddly knobs, shit distortion and a useless tuner, and I'd probably miss my reverb/delay/trem no end.
So: current rig weighs 4.4kg, but changing the stupidly hefty ply board to slatted pine might save 400g. Swapping the PP2+ for a Harley Benton PSU gets 500g back, dumping the basically unused overdrive saves 200g, losing the JD10 for say a Joyo American Sound gets maybe 350g. So 4.4kg becomes 3kg at the cost of £100 or so ... whereas a used Fly Rig plus a new HB PSU but retaining my trem and tuner would possibly sound worse, cost probably £250-300 or maybe more, and though smaller, it would still weigh 2.2kg.
Tl:dr maybe just, y'know, lighten some components.
