I am leaving planet line six .. when I got the bel delays back.. this stuff has just become unloved because the bels are all neve grey and these things are the cool guy colours .

I want to turn them into to black things I will use in the next year ..


they are stereo xlr balanced in and out and guitar level on jacks as well ..don't worry about what the internet says about the sounds or noise ..
the sounds they are great very usable very tweekable I think a keyboard geeky tweeky type will have a
great time owning these and they are NOT noisy at all

I think the Rack delay is worth more then the mod .. and i am sure i am going to have to throw in the filter rack as a sweetener cheaper because its totally the wrong colour to live by itself in this world ..

imaginative Offers over $100 each will make them yours .. check ebay .. do your sums be fair and they will be cheap
buy all of them you know you want to .. i searched the world for years to get all three at the right price
my loss your gain etc etc etc

who wants to be a cool guy with 3 pretty tweeking geek racks ?

just ring me if you want them .. dont bother with pms i hate pms

echo pro
mod pro
fiter pro
dl4 echo stomp box

cash or pay pal

Right well the cool guy RACK SET OF THREE ARE SOLD
( 8 hours and a fair offer )
.. They didnt last long that's how I like the for sale
Section to work ..


Now who wants my dl4 stomp box enough to pay cheap and fair for it
????

OK, you've sold it now.
Here's Bob Clearmountain's take on the POD:

Quote from Bob Clearmountain's web site <http://www.mixthis.com/bobframeset.html>


"NO PODS IN THE RECORDING STUDIO!!!! Normally, I don't like to comment on how to record stuff, the general rule being "there are no rules". In this case, I'm making an exception as I've recently had to try to deal with guitar tracks recorded through The Pod (from Line 6). These are the most unmixable sounds I've ever encountered. I'd say they're probably fine for demos, but quite often demo tracks appear on final master recordings, then end up on my mixing table! Don't get me wrong, Line 6 makes some great products - I use Amp Farm all the time. I think the Pod is really for blasting your Strat, Les Paul or whatever through headphones so your mom/girlfriend/wife/bus driver doesn't get annoyed. PLEASE beg, borrow or steal a goddamn guitar amp!!

...and whatever you do, DON'T fall asleep next to one"



pg

These are quite different to the pods and the delay modeller in particular has some pretty interesting sounds / creative possibilities. Theft hit well above their weight in the price / performance stakes.

This is all digital stuff doing what digital stuff does well
the clear mountain quote is old
And out of context with these things .. i have had them for some years

I have owned a pod and a pro rack pod back In the day when they where new and everybody
Raved about them . I couldn't afford these delay racks when they where new !

In regard to pods
I could see the appeal in the adds so a bought a pod new had no joy ..
Then I bought the rack pod because every body raved that up
... It was not signicantly better
Everybody was wrong .

Now ten or 15 years later .. Everybody is somehow right ?

Crap is the word that comes to mind when I think pod viable useable
in fact totally usable
but crap

All these cool guy things I just sold are vibey sound making machines
I think the inference with the clear mountain quote was I was unloading
Crap stuff ? Ouch !

The bels do the kind of delay I want better .. much better
But they don't do much else ..

But I wanted some new stomp boxes for kooky sounds not rack gear
I got a stryman elcapisan and a Tc nova mod box and a tc looper
Kinda floor stomp boxes of the same thing
But 1/3 the size

the best way to fund things or me is swap redundant items for ones that I can use
In the pursuit of sound money .

More to the point is these rack boxes are not pods no distortion in them
Just delay and time based mod effects in pretty coloured metal boxes

I think I have a buyer for the dl 4 stomp box but if he falls through ( he is broke right now )
It's going to be $150

... it was the right suite of gear at the right time.... I needed an echo, a leslie sound and something to make my el-cheapo kb sound more synthey.... and the seller was reputable

Now ..... I need something to do automated gliss up 1 octave...... (don't say a harmoniser)

the purple box does that .. but you don't want to make him feel special just cause he is purple
tracks ok .. not perfect .

omg! that is so good!!!
