I owned a gen 1 AC3R with SRT1, which had the barn door preamp, which I really liked. I also owned an A5R with SRT2 which had the 4 knobs that took away a few of the features from SRT1, but sounded pretty good. I sold my A5R in part due to a cash crunch, but also due to the fact that SRT2 didnt blow me away. The A5R sounded terrific unplugged and had a fantastic neck, but I mostly play plugged in and I wasn't overly thrilled with the tones I got from it.

And I now own an FGX5. From my experience , the Atmosfeel works better when not run through a bunch of preamps. For instance, through my DG Stomp, I hate the way my FGX5 sounds, but direct into a PA, the FGX5 sounds awesome.
