Those are super nice modules in that thing. I have 2 channels of mic in, 4 of EQ (3 and 4 band) and the comps that are in this cute little desk. Always been real happy with them, especially the mic amps. The high pass filters on the mic ins are just the ticket for great snare sounds as far as I'm concerned.

Always wondered what it would be like to use a whole board with a 1" 8 trk...


Someone should buy and love this thing, because you don't see full ones often at all, and it's quality stuff.
