may not be long enough if you're taping a panic show where jerry joseph plans to sit it on Cortez.

i don't think that's the main goal.  he plans on using them in open taping situations, mainly with a mini-jecklin disc.  nice, cheap way to get a decent sounding rig and something a little differnt than mk4>v3...

No,... It's not due to arrive until wednesday 5-11. Then, 3 gigs next weekend.

these recordings were the last of an era for me (16bit dat)
What a long strange trip its been!

i'd love to tag along maybe on saturday (if there is something doing), as i am seriously considering that unit, as well... i would love to see how it works in the flesh...
