thanks Aspen, that's what I'm gonna do. two quick questions: 1. Does the sub have to be directly below the SS3? I recently started sitting on my Mackie Thump - saves my old back, and helps me dial into the beat of this ska/reggae band I recently joined. However, if the speakers need to be aligned, I'll just get a stool or something. 2. Are some effects more impressive/3D with SS3 than others? Pong delay, panned tremolo, reverb, etc? I remember some effects were more pronounced on a Groove Tubes satellite SFX I used to have, but I can't remember what they were. Also not sure if some of that was due to special processing/effects in the Satellite.

aha, thanks cphollis and timwat, good points, i forgot about the stereo aspect. Guess i'll just use it as-is and see how it goes. Don't need to start new GASing before I even get the first thing I GAS'd for!

Anyone know of a simple, cheap, in line high-pass filter I could insert between the SS and my Mackie Thump (12") that I was planning to use as a sub? It would be especially great if said device also had a direct-pass through to feed the FOH. My SS3 is schedule to be delivered on Tuesday - really looking forward to it! thx, Dave

indeed, thank you Tom, this is very useful info! This will work better for my scattered brain, than remembering which Thumb-drive has which - I can just name the folders differently, then change depending on the gig

Hi Alan I've not used them in a Church setting, but I've owned both the Casio XW-P1 and the Roland VR09. I first got the Casio for the Organ capabilities - never thought they were very convincing, and the ROMpler piano is truly terrible on the Casio. Ironically, the synths and synth engine is fantastic - but I have plenty of synths, so ultimately got rid of it (after learning how to program it though, very interesting sound engine). Bought the VR09 last summer - truly blew me away, I'm very pleased with it. The sounds are superb for many things, especially Organ. And, once you adapt to the interface, you may have the realization that i had, that this thing truly feels like an INSTRUMENT, not just a box full of sounds with an attached keyboard. The ability to make subtle (or not so subtle) changes on the fly, both with the drawbars, but also the effects and tone shaping, is really great.

Quick Question fro Aspen (or anybody else!) I used to own a Fender Satellite SFX guitar cabinet - I was amazed how that with the built-in effects on that thing, you could get some really cool, 3D multidimensional sounds! Very hard to describe, almost like a ventriloquist "throwing sound", Very cool indeed. Startling even. Anyway, based on that experience, the testimonials in this thread, and my love of your many fine products over the years (such as your GT MD1A mics), I placed an order for a SS3 last week at Sweetwaters. My question - are you or will you consider offering some of the DSP effects you had in your previous SFX series? Alternatively, do you have any suggestions for effects that especially highlight the "3D" effect of your SFX technology? I've started playing keys in a old-school ska/reggae dub band (think Skatalies, Jackie Mitoo, King Tubby, etc.). So, when my SS3 comes, I want to blow my band-mates mind with some cool effects (I'm playing a Roland VR09, cool instrument, with a Boss RE20 Space Ceho clone). I'm normally a guitar player, so I need to distract them while I get my chops together.... I mean they got songs in F#m, WTF? Thx, Dave
