<<M400 #886 (and Stylophone!)>>

my 400, nr1098, has had a small white companion for a number of years now.
they first duetted on "build", an epic piece on our album "borrowed atoms", and
appeared live together at the october gallery in london in early 1997. I put
the stylophone through a boss se70 effects unit with a bunch of pitch shifters;
turned it into a church organ. when I opened the second set with this sound,
I faced away from the audience for a few bars and then turned to reveal the
source of this harmonious racket.
I traded a mint mono sgt pepper's for mine, and promptly lowered it an
octave. the stylophone, not the album.
if you want to disconnect the internal speaker and use it in line-out mode,
you'll need a dummy load; around 75ohm seems to work.
