RE: Gravitar > Major Havoc conversion questions

I am interested in using an Ampliphone in my Gravitar/MH conversion myself.
There are several FAQ's for somewhat related subjects, all in different
locations on the web. Could you be more specific on which FAQ your speaking
of, and where it's located? Thanks,
