Looks good. Still no word on the price or build quality yet. Unless I missed that...

[YUJI-SAN]

she looks MIGHTY FIONE! YUM YUM!

[Chris Conrad]

from what i read, everyone who got a chance to test it pretty much agreed that is sucks and is built cheaply...

[SHEIK YERBOUTI]

Yeah, I thought I caught that on the wavemusic forum, but noone really went into detail. The only thing I saw was that since Peavey bought Crest, the question was will it be Crest quality or Peavey quality, and the answer was Peavey quality and the response was "That sucks."

None has really gone into too much detail or given an in depth hands on review yet. If you see any info posted, could you give a link?

[Chris Conrad]

the sound guy from ministry of sound who posts on there said he had one for one night to test, didn't like it, and one of the other guys on there went to crest to try it ouit and wasn't crazy about it either...i have to find the exact thread...

So rotaries are all the rage again!!! Things do go in circles.

Out of curiousity, why do you guys dig these rotary mixers? Had an oppurtunity to play on the Rane rotary mixer and wasn't really digging it. Would like to hear your guys' opinions...

Cause you can work a knob. : )

Also, most of the classic rotary's like Bozak, Power, Urei were made with quality stuff. And it may be a myth but I swear Urei's do something magical in the way they mix the channels.

On the A&H, I especially like the high-pass filter and old school meters on each channel. Not to mention the signal to noise ratio if you look at the specs.
