Re: [oberheim] Re: OBXa Issues - Distortion & Keyboard Questions

2006-03-07 by Charles Massey

I had an OBXa and it came close to driving me to the nut house!  I had 
a repairman in Tampa that would go through that whole tuning process 
and when it was finished, it sounded great.........until he hit auto 
tune and everything went to shit.   I finally put it on a bus from 
Florida to San Francisco  where there was a guru that helped it a great 
deal but still no cigar.

He hard wired as much of the connections as possible and this made it 
much more stable.

I talked to several pros that used them on the road and they all said 
the same thing.  "Great sound when they were working!"

I ended up giving it away and miraculously, my headaches went away. <g> 
  I know this is not advice but then..... maybe it is. <g>
