Hi, Pete.
There's just one error in Doug's response (sorry, Doug). While the MkV may have come out around the time of RW's segment, if you look closely you'll see that he's not playing a MkV; he's playing the infamous "custom-built" industrial-strength double Wake-O-Tron, currently in the possession of the illustrious Chris Dale ("Hey, everybody! It's Chris Dale!!!")

and it sounds like a direct out signal, that is no
processing of the sound. I plugged my 400 direct into my
amp and get the same sound.
If anyone wants a better quality of the clip I can send you
a video clip(from Yesyears laserdisc).. ..Doug
