Compressed [size=2]BUMP[/size]

Bump for a stocking filler Swiss Army knife gadget.

Forgot to mention the installed hard drive is 20GB. Although this is small by modern standards, it still represents a hell of a lot of track-hours at full CD quality. The hard drive in the external bay is 10GB so plenty to back up individual projects but not the entire 20GB disk.

This pedal combines the metal-can chip of the original Dyna Comp with the benefits of true-bypass switching, external DC power, LED status indicator, and internal trim pots. I used this pedal frequently on guitar when I fronted a country trio, until it was ousted by a Cali76 (natch). It sounds fat and a bit dirty, and also a bit noisy if you stop to listen. It is in very good nick, complete with box, manual, and knob cover for adjustments using your toe(!) Bearing in mind the noise thing, I am letting this go for [b]£40[/b] delivered in the UK.

This is a very handy bit of kit. It accepts jack or XLR inputs, provides up to 60dB of mic gain, and has switchable phantom power. Ideal for creating extra mic channels when you only have line inputs left. In excellent condition, boxed with 9V AC power supply (note - that's AC, it won't run off a Boss PSU!)

This Akai DAW was very highly regarded when it came out in 2001. Of course things have moved on in the last 15 years, but it is still a capable performer.

I never got on very well with computer recording, much preferring hardware like this. It includes a 4-bus fx board, and has the last-issued software version (v3.02). For collection in person / meet-up, I am also including a SCSI drive bay and cable, containing a hard drive and CD burner plus spare cassette. NOTE: this machine does not do USB! Condition is good for its age. All pots and jacks work well, except for the headphone output on the front of the unit, which suffers intermittent connection. Some of the membrane switches are rather stiff. The display is a little dim, but perfectly legible under indoor lighting when optimised with the contrast control.
