I'm not sure what exactly it's doing, but it is an active box, and sounds perfect. It's a little pricey, though. Not sure what' in there besides a transformer. You might find a schematic somewhere online. I got the Radial Systems unit on the advice of a producer pal of mine. He's never steered me wrong on gear. -George --- On Mon, 8/11/08, Richard Atkinson <thetoyroom@charter.net> wrote: > From: Richard Atkinson <thetoyroom@charter.net> > Subject: Re: I/O was: Guitar Rig > To: "Looper's Delight" <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> > Date: Monday, August 11, 2008, 10:29 PM > Hi guys, > Thanks for the responses.
