FS: 2 Vortexen, 2 RDS units



ok, here's a rundown ...

Lexicon Vortex #1: this one is perfect. fully functional with footswitch, 
2 
power supplies, "Lexicon" and footswitch stickers. $150

Lexicon Vortex #2: this one has a wonky "preset" encoder (it will only let 
you 
select half of the presets). aside from that, in good shape with 
footswitch, 2 
power supplies, "Lexicon" and footswitch stickers. $100

Digitech RDS 7.6: minor rack rash. fully functional. no documentation. i 
have 
modified it (via the information on loopers-delight.com) for 
30-second-plus 
long lo-fi loops and 99 percent feedback. accepts triggers for delay start 
(use 
that for tempo sync) and CV for LFO speed and some other things. $150

Digitech RDS-8000: less rack rash than above unit. no documentation. IEC 
power 
cable. also tweaked as above unit. features the same compliment of 
CV/trigger 
inputs as the RDS 7.6. dry signal does not pass (it was that way when i 
got it 
from Daddy's Used Gear By Mail), but i've always fed it from an aux send 
so 
it's never mattered to me.

The RDS-8000 sounds cleaner with long loops because it's anti-aliasing 
filters 
follow the actual sample rate whereas on the 7.6 the anti-aliasing filters 
track the _expected_ sample rate. LoFi loopers rejoice in the power of the 
RDS 
7.6.

i apologise if crossposting this has polluted anyone's mailboxes 
needlessly. 
i'm sending to Analogue Heaven and the Synthesizers.com list because ALL 
these 
FX interface to modular synths through CV/trigger.

if you'd like pictures email me and i'll get you the URL for the pics 
tonight. 
it'll most likely be in http://www.suitandtieguy.com/forsale though. i 
just 
can't interface my camera with my powerbook or i'd do it here at work.
