Your all fools

The next question that's coming is where do you live; what's your address.
 
I live at 451 Gearslut Avenue, Anytown USA 90210. If you can get past the armed guards and my moat filled with alligators, all my gear is yours.

Of course, my gear runs on a different power requirement than yours Krystof and will be of no use to you. Sorry.

LEEKING

I use it as a reverb unit when my fostex de-1 is busy doing other stuff. Its ok but not near as good as the fostex. though being out of the box its handier than the pandora built into my korg d8
 
fostex de-1

hmmm, I am not familiar with this unit...

darrin, can you tell me more about it?

what makes you buy it? did you compare with other units when you made the purchase? The price is pretty good.

I've just realize that Fostex is a japanese company (duhhh).

Thanks for the info.

Our practices have been great, we can actually hear each other now (compared to the 9x9 square room with a 6.5 foot ceiling, what we were in before. Bad standing waves. Bad).
