Tech 21

I'm kind of annoyed that Tech21, doesnt have photos of the back panel of thier rack mounted units posted on thier website. The RBI is a unit I'm considering purchasing as well, but I just want a better feel of what manner of connectivity I'll be able to take advantage of. Also, you'd think you could get a copy of the owner's manual from there, in PDF format, too... Nope, Nope ya cant. :\

I bought a used RBI and emailed Tech21 to tell them that it would be nice if their manuals were on the web. They emailed me a PDF of the RBI manual the next day.

FWIW, the connectivity of the RBI is the best of any preamp I own: rear input with pad, dual XLR outs (effected, uneffected), dual 1/4" outs (effected, uneffected), FX send and return with 50/50 blend switch, footswitch in, footswitch out.
