Thanks for providing the nice 'read'. The great late Les Paul was a genius, an incredible musician, inventor, and a very nice human being. It was also the era when equipment was made to satisfy a particular need/function. These days, most of the 'planned obsolescence' cheap digital junk are made for no reason other than marketing to SILLY people who want to play around in their studio toy-boxes.. With all due respect to the real SILICON VALLEY, these days, the dudes from the other fake SILLY-CON valley are laughing their way to the bank at the expense of those minions who believe the digi-blah-blah hype. ....Cheers, Ton
