ive got the top popped open,(the thing needs repairing) but was working suprisingly well this nite. its a real 'space' machine. my guitar goes straight into the back with a normal jack-xlr lead,then out using a same lead into my pignose amp.i was also learning to play the drums at this point so i added that to try and fill the boredom vibe i seem to have going.its just a general oversight of what sounds u can get out of 1 pf these things.would love to have 1 that worked all the time though.i dont even think ive got it set upright to be honest!
