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.
