What  does THAT mean? I know it's not the "real thing" but I was 
commenting on  it's usefulness in a live touring rig to replace a 
somewhat tempermental  machine with tapes that break etc. Treasure 
the real trons...but leave  them at home


Sorry Charles,
 
If I fix your Tron, you can take it anywhere and it will work fine on  stage. 
In my machines, tapes don't break. Anyone who knows me knows that I  road my 
Trons all the time. They're not fragile. I just pack them up good  and off we 
go. When you hear the real thing through a giant PA, you gotta fall  back.
 
Ask Jimmy Moore.
