------=_NextPart_000_0310_01C61F6B.7E363000--Yes you can. I think the manuals, esp. the service manual, and the
perfect condition help. I already had someone trying to buy it
early.

Hey don't feel bad, I sold my original LA-2A for 450.00 back
in 1985. Guess I should have kept it a while...

Here's the amp:

It's the Blues Star. What a tone!

versatile I'd look at ebay and try to find an SWR SM-400 bass head. Tube
preamp stage and a parametric EQ that will give you a pretty wide range of
sounds. A bassist in a band I played in used one and we had very good luck
with it as a direct amp as well.

rind with Apple and FCP.
These conflicts on interest are part of what's good and bad about being both
an application and system software vendor (and in this case a hardware vendor
to boot).

That said, it sure wouldn't *hurt* Digi when they sit down at the bargaining
table to have the rumor out there that they were considering moving their
entire user base to Vista machines, woudl it? I would guess it's probably
in Digi's self interest to simultaneously hold on to it's base of Mac users
while keeping these kind or rumors percolating about at every NAMM show.

. I'm thinking it wouldn't be
too bad........heck. lots of mics have pads so those padded signals are sent
down the entire signal path anyway. what's the harm?

Any LP guru's out there?I went shopping recently, looking really for a DVD player to play MP3's with.
My previous one did it, but there was no shuffle mode, and if there's one
thing that MP3 listening wants it's a shuffle mode. They don't call them
IPod Shuffles for nothing.

I really just wanted to pick up a $45 DVD player which would let me shuffle
MP3's, but mid-shop I r

>Thanbks Gene. I certainly *get it* about the pads being before the
transformer in the mics. I've got some high quality 3' pigtails I could hang
off the back of some of my preamps to make the LP's more accessable. That's
probably a more sonically desirable solution.........or I could just buy one
of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=73830 39376&rd=1&sspagenam
e=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

and use it for the entire kit except the OH's (gotta use the GR for those
;o)

I remember BrianT saying that he had a couple of these and thought pretty
highly of them. You ever tried them? Looks like lots of headroom and
pads/phase on every input.
