Thanks jensenmann, that’s very useful. The Avalon hasn’t really piqued my interest, so that was a no, but I’ve been plenty of gigs/ sessions now where the bss has been used. The diy job, that will be of a similar spec to the house Di.s, as I alluded to earlier, the studio is very well specced indeed.
So, tonehammer is on the wish list unless I can find something a bit more esoteric (but maybe not the price tag of the gyraf- ouch!)
