Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
bargain!!!
nice one!
The programming is a bit different than the DSP 256. But a quick flip through the manual should help speed the tweaking process up a bit..
Really diggin the sound I'm hearing already. It has a nice analog-ish tone, nice and warm.
Wow plastic. Does it smell like a new game?
Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.
cool sounds jimi. once you've had a play with it, you'll find the programming paths similar
edit; the later 'gt' iteration, with preamp/distortion was also cool. but to my ear the gsp21 sounded crisper.. nicer.. cut through the mix in a pleasing way that didn't offend your ear....

Nice score, DJ!
Thanks. Tweaking went smooth. Managed to set up 3 or 4 presets, enough to get me through band practice last night. Will be delving into more programming again today.
I also got a line on a vintage 80's Boss CE-3 chorus pedal to replace my old one. I lurve this model. The dude wants $40 for it.
good stuff and congrats DJ.
Yeah, got the navigation/programming down.
Never been a believer in having my ambience/and time based functions being processed in the same technology that processes my distortion/gain tones. I like to keep them separate and let 'em do what they do best.
I basically run my signal chain like this:
1- Guitar
+ Pedal board
+ Tech 21 PSA-1 analog preamp
+ Alesis Quadraverb into Marshall EL 34 Dual Monoblock Stereo Power Amp.
+ Late 60's Marshall slant 4x12 (Vintage Greenbacks)
+ Late 60's Hiwatt Straight 4x12 (Loaded with original British Fane's)
Found this on Kijiji...
A vintage Boss CE-3 Chorus pedal. My old one crapped out a few years ago, and I've been waiting on a good deal to come by.....
I was told that the pedal never left the dudes house. Mint condition with the original box and paperwork...$40
CE-3 Chorus
The CE-2 doesn't have a stereo output so the CE-3 was made, perhaps more as a replacement for the CE-1. The CE-3 have adjustments for depth and rate, just like the CE-2, but supports in addition a stereo output. Having two outputs gives you the option of having a chorused signal from Output A and the direct signal at the same time from Output B. These can be panned left and right to simulate the sound of two guitars playing simultaneously.
The placement of the 3 knobs are not typical. This is the only 3-knob pedal that has three knobs in a row. As this caused the LED to become hidden behind the middle knob, it was a design that was soon changed in favor of the V shaped 3 knob control layout.
Version differences
There are minor colour differences between versions of this pedal and from 1988 the CE-3 was shipped with white black knobs with white tops. The CE-3 was the first metallic coloured Boss compact pedal. The green label was introduced 1984 to indicate compliance with FCC rules and production moved to Taiwan, 1988.

The last cool deal I got like that was an ART NightBass rackmount FX unit (12AX7 tube with a bazillion digital FX) for 100 bucks off eBay a few years back. I lost the actual auction, but was suprised to get an email the next day saying the winner could not pay his bid for some reason. Wow. I love it. The perfect companion to my SGX2000.
Now these are what I call "works of ART"!
yeah i remember your thread on that, HR. geez there was some cool gear in the 90's....
Great deal. I fucking love the fact that rack shit isn't "in" at the moment. You can practically get gear for 1/10 of it's original cost.
Right now I have a Digitech 33B-Intelligent Harmonizer and a Digitech DSP 256 collecting dust . It's worth more to me to keep them than unload them at a pittance.
I'll probably end up using them at my studio as outboard FX...
most of this stuff is top quality too mate, was then; is now. my old gsp21 still has the best 'verb i've heard, so it does exactly that job in the studio. excellent gate in it too.
If you ever see a Roland SPX 90 (verb) rack , score it. It sounds amazing for widening up you guitar in your rig or making a mix sound huge.
Here's a link to some dudes talking about it...
that'd be a yamaha, jimi... but i'm with ya. great unit.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamaha-SPX-90-Mu...-/190514262833
they're not as much as i thought they'd be!
i worked in a big shop for quite a few years back in the day... got to drool over this stuff every single day. it almost seems criminal to see these superior pieces of equipment going so cheap. a new spx90 was 2500 bucks here!!! it kinda makes me sad to wonder how many old rocker's broken dreams are on ebay...but, we're still playing and life goes on
i like Alesis stuff. i've had some Monitor Ones and RA-100 amp since '93 or so, they're holding up great. also have a Wedge reverb that i picked up for $99 at Guitar Center. don't use it much but it's fun to play with. then there's the D4 drum module...made some homemade triggers and had fun with that.
found a QSR ROMpler on Ebay this morning and it's on the way.
been looking for a mid-80's synth too but haven't decided what one. leaning toward a Roland, i like the feel of the 'board on my S-50.
A quadraverb does not sound "analog-ish" at all...except for the hiss...
Ahahahahahaaaa............. Fuck off!
You're startin to sound more and more like GAR every day.
No hiss issue here. Maybe the hiss you heard was a result of the narcotics you'd ingested....
Hey GARvis when are you gonna post some of your "brilliance" over in THIS THREAD?

One day...
I've had quadraverbs, they sound good but not analog, and they do make hiss, turn it up in headphones and see for yourself...
anyway, everything has noise... the question is just how much. or little.
It's not a guitar rig unit...
Well, it's not. It's much too complicated for a guitar rig and you need a midi foot switch to change programs..
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
Oh wait......
Another Yamaha unit from the SPX90 days was the Rev 7. Those were some sweet units.
If you ever find a Roland Dimension D rack mount unit and it is selling for way less than a thousand bucks, buy it. They are extremely hard to find these days, as every studio on Earth with any decent amount of rack gear has one.
Rev 7 on Ebay

Roland Dimension D on Ebay. Not cheap!
http://shop.ebay.ca/i.html?_nkw=Rola....c0.m270.l1313
the rex50 was a great little box too, haven't looked but you could probably get one pretty cheap...http://www.synthmania.com/Yamaha%20R...ha%20REX50.jpg
Great unit as well. Recorded an album 10 years ago at a buddy's studio .(nothing fancy). This was the processor we used. Worked great. Nice warm verbs. There's something to be said about low bit processing.
Lexicon LXP-1
Famous back then mostly for its reverb sounds for a Lexicon budget price...
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS FOR A REV 7???? My god that is cheap!
The price on Dimension Ds has not gone up I see. They were selling for 900-1000 US about 8-9 years ago.....
