Definitely an instrument in it's own right!

I have to admit, I covet that EQ killer:
  It's the only major piece of kit that I never owned and kick myself that
I never bought one (especially when they were blown out at the end).
I even owned the Filter Queen but sold it and bought the Filter Factory 
which had more
bells and whistles.

They are also built like tanks but, unfortunately, they are all two rack 
spaces which is
a lot of real estate,especially given that one can only get a 6 space 
rack on an international
plane flight these days.

I only use them in the US when I have an automobile to drive them around 
and haven't really used
them much at all, but since I'm doing this new Rhythm & Noise project 
called 'aEther Engine'
where I'm trying to rhythmically slice, dice, eq and otherwise 
manipulate different noise sources
in a kind of strange dance oriented way,  I'm going to invest in an 8 
space rack and put
the Filter Factory, the Mo FX and the Repeater in with a one rack patch 
bay.

Anyone selling a little half rack EQ killer?    hint, hint?
