    I love this unit and it sounds amazing, but it's just way too much for what I'm doing right now. You can use this in a recording set up or in a live rig. It's a great DI and the tone curves are very useful, especially with passive basses.

    There are no real issues with the unit. It also comes with rack ears but apparently the previous owner drilled some extra holes in them. It's purely cosmetic and they still work fine, and they cost $70 separate.

    I'm asking $425 shipped. No trades, need some cash.

    A friend once told me that Geddy just has amps on stage for looks and that he runs one of these into the PA. Confirm/deny?

    Not sure about Geddy, never followed him much. But I do know a lot of big name pros use this unit. It sounds great!

    This is back on the market. I'm not doing any recording anytime soon and am trying to get a mesa head. I fixed the issue with the ground/lift switch, so this is in perfect working order.

    $450 SHIPPED WITH RACK EARS!

    Wet. It's rained every day for weeks now. Hot as blazes until about 2pm then it starts pouring down rain for 3-4 hours.

    Definitely looking forward to fall, haha.
