Yamaha CS80

Has anyone tried their CS80 through a MAM resonator? I've recently
acquired one and will be doing so very soon.

Cheers.

simple as that. I find the built-in chorus slightly obtrusive anyway
so I´d rather use the SDD-320 instead (some years ago I used to have
an extra Dimension D just for the CS80), and it doesn´t have to be a
Lexicon 224XL all the time. The Dynacord DRP20X sounds equally good ;-).
