i've enjoyed reading this thread.
i am going to a 722. i am sick of the big 12v batteries to power my ad2k+. Its great. i love it, but i'm sick of lugging it like a mule. I've ran the ho's > mp2 > ad2k for quite a while now, but i am ready to move on to yes - the more simple solution.
I may down the line grab a v2 to run in front, but IMHO the MP2 and the pre in the 722 are about equal. so for now i think the ho's>722 will be a great solution for me and make my life easier.
no patchers though - was nice when i ran the 2k @ 24bit i could still give dat patchers a feed. those days will be gone w/ the 722. But i am really stoked for it, and i will likely hold on to my ad2k+ for a bit...
carry less shit, party harder.
