symetrix 501 - yeah, its good
Golly Gee Whiz. So i just unpacked and plugged in this 501 for the first time. It's a grey-push button model. Put a DI'd bass through it. Played some rock, then blues, then punk, and finally some jazz type stuff. Might have to call this thing the gandalf-the-grey-push-button 501 for bass - just to make sure that people get it straight that this thing is still a cool find, toggle switch or no toggle switch! Lot's of bass sounds to be had - from smooth to punchy, raunchy to clean. This thing was $70 well spent...
Thanks Chessrock, Skypilot, mrface2112 and everyone else who posted about their experiences with this unit.
