God I don't miss digging around fucking with patch cables in the back of a rack with a mini flashlight in my mouth cuz I forgot my headlamp. Give me an Axe and a cheap laptop. The size of your rack is equal to the size of your headache.
OMG, how I miss my hernia factory rig the size of a small refrigerator and all of the abuse it took getting moved every gig, not to mention having to wire it up tougher than a Nike missile silo and trying to program around whatever piece of gear decided not to work that night. I’m also sure road crews and truck packers everywhere rue the day it and most rigs like it all got replaced by an AFX2 and an RJM MMGT.
Said. Nobody. Ever.
or Nat GeoI've never owned a large 80's rack but I do enjoy me some good ol' Rack porn. It's like I'm 15 and flipping through the Sears Catalogue
Lucky u stopped short - otherwise you could've been wearing BBQ ribsTrue story - about 12-13 years ago, at a happy hour in a Scottsdale bar, I observed a busty Scottsdale lady eating BBQ ribs, which were the daily special. Stopped short of saying, "Nice rack! How much did they set you back?"
It was a bit of a saucy line....Lucky u stopped short - otherwise you could've been wearing BBQ ribs
I’ll bet it sounded amazing when everything was setup correctly, you were in a venue that allowed the proper volume, and the room had good acoustics. I’ll also bet that trifecta didn’t happen often.I gigged four slaved heads into two 24 space racks and three 4x12s in w/d/w setup. It sucked, you have no idea how great you have it today.

Quite a few of those Scottsdale ladies have plastic parts....Or missed out on one helluva a night.
Really liked the G-Force, but my fav TC rack thing is still the 2290 I briefly had. The delays were just gorgeousyeah, been there, done that. we have had some fun in the past trying to recreate some landau tones and it was pretty easy, to be honest. those old bits of gear have their quirks (nothing sounds like the tc g-force pitch shifter when it's feedback is turned up...it was one of my signature sounds for a while), but the overall flexibility and convenience just trumps all that.
here's my wee beastie...
Always use single-use batteries.Hi- Any idea if the Mitigator uses a rechargeable battery inside, or single use battery?
Mine lost all its presets, and there is a battery inside 3.6v lithium I want to replace,\but not sure if I need a
rechargeable one?
It doesn't say much on it
