Not really, though it inhabits the bottom slot in the Eventide product line. Technologically it is a couple of generations past the H3000. Functionally it is similar in that it does not support user-designed algorithms. >If I were to sell all of my rack effects tomorrow (Boss VF-1, Akira, >Vortex, Boss SX-700, Boss GT-3, Lexicon LXP1 and LXP5, would the Eclipse >keep me interested and diversified enough?

Yes, you'd be able to have multiple simultaneous effects, but I doubt if you'd be able to replicate what you can achieve with the combination of seven discrete processors you mention. One principal advantage with the Eclipse is that it would sound better since your signal would be passing through a single, high-quality unit rather than an assortment of separate boxes. Why not borrow or rent an Eclipse and try it out yourself? -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
