What new booty have you acquired? (Page 105 of 189)

Its size is its most interesting feature, but the PWM is also pretty badass!

Getting some Studer 169 parts for almost a complete desk the coming weeks.

That's like playing Hotel california when trying a guitar or the Jump sound on a synth.
A benchmark cliché.

The analogy is with a  musical instrument vs a record player.  You can make use of a benchmark music composition or recording to reveal their characteristics.
I'm just teasing you and I have nothing against Aja, great drums by Bernard Purdie, but it's a stereo store staple since it came out, to the point where it's cliché.

Dynacord Gigant III S + VRS 23 + 6 units rack all for 100eur

cheers Freek, i think i saw him playing live with zappa on a video once, not sure though. I'll check it out...

Yeah, I heard that those bucket-brigade chips are very hard to find nowadays. The reverb is very haunting and metallic and I love the modulation. Oh and mine seems to be the early version that can self-oscillate

FFFUUUUUU.... I don't even want to tell you how much I paid only for the VRS 23 just a while ago... Well, it's a good sounding delay anyways.

plike: did you get the FW upgrade? .. http://www.maad.net/ms6/

the guy is very reasonable to deal with, i got 2 really cheap.

Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal. 

Not really feeling this one.  I didn't expect it to sound like a real Space Echo, but I thought it would sound better than it does.  Distorts fairly easily, and not in a good way.  I found I was constantly adjusting the input level and echo volume to get rid of the distortion (I assume this is actually the modelled "tape saturation", but it just sounds like brittle digital distortion to me). 

If I didn't have other analog delays around I'd probably feel differently about it.  I got a great deal on it so I had to check it out. 

I'll give it another chance tonight but I'm pretty sure I'll be selling it off shortly. 

I still have my RE-20 and I use it all the time, you have to deal with the levels but once it's set right It shouldn't distort.
I use it as my delay fx send "B", ("A" being the Fostex 3180) in Ableton Live.
It'smore stable compared to my RE-101, and has a "echo only" switch.

I kind of regret selling my Korg SE-500 because it was stable and perfect for fx send as it had a proper echo out.  But I prefer the RE sound, be it 101 or 20.
