Hey LD, is this true would i need a bigger mixer. i have seen lots of people use the 1402 w/lots of gear in the rack. i don't know if i would necessarily use a pod, probably a vht power amp and some pre. thanks matt >From: "Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de> >Reply-To: <rs@moinlabs.de> >To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> >Subject: RE: Mackie Mixers >Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 18:00:10 +0100 > >Matthew, > >the 1202 and 1402 are identical with regards to mic pres - at least that's >what mackie says.
