I tried to send this to the list before I uploaded photos but think I screwed up and responded directly to Ken E... apologies if this is a duplicate... Hi all, Just stumbled across this in the archives... haven't been reading the list for quite a while... Anyway, I have one of these. I always assumed it was the only one, considering the faceplate claims it was "Custom Made for Patrick Gleeson". I didn't know they advertised, I guess maybe there are others out there? Never seen or heard of one, but anything's possible. Ken E., I think you may have been referring to my post on some list a few years back. Everyone's guesses were pretty much correct. The 24 sliders adjust the "Resonance Levels" from zero (bottom) to 9, although it doesn't affect only resonance. At zero the frequency is fully attenuated and with all sliders down the sound is completely filtered out. There is also a 4 way "Resonance Shift" clickstop knob that can be set at zero, 4, 8, or 12%. This is obviously not a squealer, but you can get some really cool harmonics at the higher settings. The drive can get really distorted (really nice soft clipping sound) at the upper settings and when you have some of the frequencies cranked at high resonances you can get beautifully textured overdrive with selectable harmonics. The 3 way switch under each frequency selects the output bus--- A, A+B, or B. Another 4 way knob allows you to select the mode--- Bypass, Direct, X-Fade, or X-pan. The front panel has jacks for Modulation Out and VCA Control In. My unit is having problems with the A output (really weak signal and 60 cycle hum, although the amount of hum is reduced greatly at certain points on the drive level knob) so the cool stereo features aren't really usable until I get it fixed. Anyone know someone who could fix this thing? ---Ben
