What Does This Do?

[BooHead]

There is a record store I live near that used to have a recording studio in the back. The guy who ran the studio moved so they are selling all the gear. Most of it is gone. I did manage to get a 6 space Grundorf rack mount case for 40 bucks. Its in great shape too.

Anyways they still have some equipment left and I don't really know what it does or if it would be of any use for me.

Yamaha Piano Tone Generator
Digital Singnal Processor (Digitech I think)
Ashly Two way Electronic Crossover
Tascam LA-40 Low Impedance Adaptor
Digitech RDS Digital Delay System
SGX Night Bass Studio Edition Tube Preamp Bass Effects System

So what do these things do? Would they be useful? And would they be practical in a live situation.
If anyone can offer help it would be appreciated. Thanks

Some of them would definitely be useful! Could you snap a picture of the rack?

well, here you go:
The SGX Nightbass Studio Edition SE is an integrated preamplification and digital effects system designed specifically for bassists. It has the power to create every type of bass sound and effect combination imaginable. With over 400 factory presets, chances are the sound you're after is already in there. If not, create your own and store it in any of 200 memory locations, all of which are accessible through MIDI. What makes the Nightbass SE so powerful is its flexibility. We've designed a fully programm able analog section, our top of the line 24 bit digital processor, and integrated the two into an incredibly straightforward package. Gone are the days of huge racks. With the SGX Nightbass SE all that's needed is a power amp and a cabinet, but it sounds so good you'll want to go direct.
Analog Effects. In addition to the front panel frequency shaping and crossover controls, internal analog effects include:
• Preamp Select
• Compression
• Expansion
• Distortion
• Exciter
• Envelope Filter
• Noise Gate
• 7 Band Graphic Equalizer
• Effects Crossover
• Programmable Level

very useful

The SGX Night Bass might be interesting. I believe its a discontinued ART product.

What kind of prices are they asking?

When I was a young gnome I lusted for one of those Nightbass things at the local Nev-R-Deal music shoppe, but I never got a chance to play one.

Well, there's one on E-bay right now with a starting price of $200. What's the condition? Is $150 his best price? If its in good / excellent condition, I'd say go for it.
