RE: Effects units

["M. Steven Ginn" <sginn@airmail.net>]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info.  I read about the Eclipse in Sound on Sound and for
the most part have decided to sell my MPX1 which will be replaced most
likely by the Eclipse.  I wish I could consider one of the other
Eventide units but they are more expensive and take 2 spaces instead of
one, and with the rest of the gear I have, space is a premium.

Thanks,
Steve
