MOTM

Kevin Boudreau's next module?  (Kevin: Get an LFO!)

ENIAC marries Mackie and this is the progeny.

I wonder how many G.E. brand tubes they think still exist?

Bet I could start WW III if I spilled a nice, syrupy 32 oz. cherry Coke onto 
the faders.

Are the filaments "series-wired"?

Actually its only 4-channel.  The other inputs are the "hot standbys" 
(emphasis on "hot").

Less active components than an eighty-seven cent PIC processor.  Cool.

Is the power-on indicator a "superior technology" neon bulb?

Now I know where Larry shipped "Frankenswitch" - it's just out of view in the 
picture.

A new hollow-state mixer for 2002.  Who'd a thunk it.

This is really the "Envelope Nest", right?

New percussion instrument - just smack the side and the microphonics ring for 
47 minutes

So where DOES the 8-track player plug in?

This technology is essential to preserve the sonic nuances of a $13 fuzz box 
from Guitar Center.


Cheers!

Precisely.

Great thoughts Tom.  So, how many MOTMers in their 20s know what the ENIAC
was?(us old farts do).

While I agree that this console is over the top, let's not forget that 
well designed audio tube electronics can perform at least as well as 
their discrete and integrated conterparts, and are often much more 
"musical", as witnessed by any of the recordings from Waterlily 
Acoustics:

(Jon Hassell's "Fascinoma" is one of my personal favorites).

WA use gear designed by Tim deParavacini of EAR,

http://www.earpro.com/

in particular:

As with any electronic component, tubes are only as good as the 
circuit design.
