Re: LEXICON pcm 81 gear lust

Ciao Italo.

Agreed. Those plastic jack connectors do make me nervous too. Although, I 
really love the resonator & drone patches on the 80. They work nice for 
loop 
post processing. If you get a chance Track 1&4 of my online Stick demo 
have 
some PCM80 patches

ps. Did not know about the delay being expanded...43 sec? wow
