  1. Still a few things to iron out, mostly the preamp - I'd love to put an AC Wal-style preamp in this, but Alan (AC Guitars) isn't selling the preamp to the public. I'm giving this a bit more thought, and since it's about the last thing Jon needs a decision on I should have a while to ponder! Jon has quoted 12 - 20 weeks build time, but I'm taking 20 as minimum!

    Hoping for a finish similar to this sadowsky:

    I am selling the pre-amp to the public in the form of the ACG EQ02 unit if that helps.

  2. [quote name='casapete' post='175173' date='Apr 12 2008, 02:02 PM']Think the 'bridge' outputs may be wrong way round - should be 1450w @ 8 ohms and 1600w@4.
    Good luck with your sale - I've used these amps and they are great for the money.[/quote]


    Now that you mention it they could well be I just copied the whole spec from the site I got it from.

  3. Hi
    Excellent unit in very good condition. Huge number of use's.
    I am looking for £150 plus delivery.





    The MX60 Front End One is a unique mic/line/instrument input channel in a single rack space providing high quality Drawmer processing prior to tape/hard disc recording. The MX60 is also ideally suited to project studio and live sound applications. Functioning as a studio grade mic pre-amp, Program AdaptiveTM gate, de-esser, compressor, limiter, three band EQ and multi band tube saturation stage, the MX60 offers the user more options than competitive units currently available.

    Grass Roots - The MX60 draws its technology from the most successful of Drawmer products. The mic pre-amp features the same discrete component design found in the legendary Drawmer 1960, the de-esser is derived from the MX50, the VCA based compressor is similar to the MX30, while the peak limiter and gate can be tracked back to the DL241 compressor/limiter.

    Controls:
    Input Stage: The input stage may be switched to accept mic, line, or instrument level signals - the XLR mic input has switchable 48V phantom power and phase reverse, while the line input is on both a balanced +4dB TRS jack and an unbalanced -10dB jack. A high impedance Instrument jack is located on the front panel for use with electric guitars, basses, synths and drum machines.
    Program AdaptiveTM Gate: Drawmer's proprietary Program AdaptiveTM circuitry means that all the time constants are automatically optimised for the material being processed. This enables stable gating and eliminates 'chatter' around threshold. Controls via a single variable threshold and switchable fast/slow auto release.
    De-Esser: Floating threshold de-ess operation where the de-esser automatically and continually readjusts its own threshold level. The MX60 de-esser is almost completely automatic requiring the user only to select a switchable male or female setting and to adjust the amount of de-essing required. Only the sibilant sounds are subjected to gain reduction so that the lisping effect of simpler de-essers is avoided.
    EQ: High and low shelving sections as well as fully parametric mid range EQ with variable frequency, 'Q', and ±18dB cut/boost.
    Compressor: High quality VCA compressor based on that of the MX30 and DL241. Both the attack and release times are Program AdaptiveTM leaving the user with only ratio, threshold and make-up gain to adjust.
    Tubesound: Multi band 'tube saturation' allows users to create subtle warming, high frequency effects or out-and-out obvious effects via three separate, independently adjustable audio bands. Low settings on all bands enable replication of classic tube mic sounds.
    Output: The output stage includes a limiter with a preset threshold (+16dB) and a variable master fader with output bargraph metering which sets the overall output level from OFF to +15dB. A two stage soft/hard limiting approach has been adopted with yellow and red LEDs signifying soft (approaching limit point) and hard limiting (hitting limit point).

  4. Hi
    This power amp is brand new been used for about an hour in total.
    Not what I need as it is to powerful to heavy and the fans are intrusive at the volume I use it at just a bit of a mistake for my needs.
    Includes an equally new Gator 4 unit rack case.
    I am looking for £200 plus delivery.

  5. I had a very pleasant day and can still hear which is a bonus. Had a good chat with various guys. Very impressed with the David's BFM cab I will look into those graphite necks for you. Had a chat with Ped which was wide ranging and most enjoyable I have been a long time fan of Vigier basses. All in all an excellent day.

  6. This is a 8 I/O top quality interface which will record at up to 96 kHz.
    Firewire interface.
    8 24 bit analogue inputs on Neutrik combo jacks switchable for mic, line and +4 fixed.
    8 24 bit out puts.
    8 ADAT I/O.
    AES/EBU with sample rate converter.
    Two sets of main analogue outs.
    Independent channel phantom power.

    Excellent sounding versatile interface.
    Home use only boxed with manuals.
    I will be throwing in Digital Performer 4.5 along with it again with all the manuals.
    This is Mac software but the 896 will work with any firewire equipped computer.

    One knob cap missing other than that in perfect condition.

    I am looking for £275 plus postage.



  7. Hi
    A public apology to Mr Bear for a further delay on the delivery of his bass. The new pickup has arrived and is fine but in putting the pickup in I noticed the lacquer has developed a blue tinge on one part of the back. This I suspect has been caused by some trapped solvent in the lacquer. So under the circumstances I can't put the bass out like this as it is not up to standard. I am going to sand the bass back and re-spray it this in turn will delay the bass by another 7/10 days. For this I am extremely sorry to Mr Bear as if I was in his position I would be disappointed having expected the bass this week only to be told that it will be delayed again.

    I do remember you. The EBS rig opposite me was pretty full on and by the end of the day I was sick of it.
    I did spend a fair bit of time talking about the pre-amp as it does not work the same way as the standard cut and boost EQ.
    As there is two filters one for each pickup if the blend is fully on the neck pickup and you are moving the filter for the bridge pickup nothing appears to happen. So I was watching people to make sure they understood that bit as I did not want them going away thinking parts of it did nothing.

    Ped I didn't see you must have been talking at someone.

    A shot of the stand with most of the basses.
    The jazz basses were John East's,we were on the same stand they were there to demo his pre-amps.
