      "5 STAR!!! It has never let me down in all the years I have owned it"
Subject: owned one since '94 Quality: Yes!!!! 5 STAR!!! It has never let me down in all the years I have owned it. Sound: Tone and sound are great I have it mached with a Vox AC30CC2 amp and it sounds great!! Reliability: The finish has stood up great. Most gold tone has worn off the pick ups and machine heads as well as the stop bar and bridge. This year I had to replace the imput jack and the toggle switch. But like I said I used this as my main axe for many years giging. Overall: Are you kiding for the price point you can't go wrong!!! I love this guitar!!! I used it as my main gig guitar for alot of years I have quite a number of guitars now. And still reach for this one often as I reach for my higher end guitars. Playability and Feel: Neck is very good has a nice feel and smooth I can get up down it very fast for riffs, cording is nice action very good I don't have to feel like I have to man handle for riffs. Again set up goes a long way to get it the best for you and your playing. Tone: Like most double humbukers they are able to get very sweet tones and can get down and dirty pleanty of room very thick and deep if you know what I mean. Finish: The finish has stood up great. But I am a polish freak. What can I say :-) Action: I can't remember that far back but I usualy go over my guitars my self every now and then justI think every one should keep up on this weathers and humity canevery thing so if you want it have great action always if you don't know how to or you are unsure have it go over by a trained guitar tech. and then check it your self every now then.

Analog on the go! two alkaline AAA batteries, the compact monotron can be held in one hand. Although small enough to easily carry with you, the amazing monotron is packed with KORG's legendary analog technology, generating thick and powerful sounds. Concentrating on the most important sound parameters, the controls have been streamlined as much as possible. The panel contains only five knobs and one switch. With this level of simplicity, now anyone can easily enjoy the world of analog synthesizers. Features: - Full-fledged, true analog synthesizer: VCO, VCF, LFO
- Inspiring, easy-to-play ribbon keyboard
- Intuitive, fun-to-tweak controls
- Features the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20

Ribbon controller keyboard offers easy expression Borrowing the enjoyment of performing with a simple touch from Korg's wildly popular KAOSS products, the monotron's ribbon controller keyboard takes this ease of use even farther. Simple finger gestures can produce expressive effects such as vibrato and glide. 1VCO, 1VCF, 1LFO – Modular synthesis building blocks The monotron's circuit is radically simple: one voltage-controlled oscillator, one voltage-controlled filter, and one low frequency oscillator. Since each knob directly applies a specificto the sound, the process of sound creation is intuitive, and instantly understandable. The monotron encourages exploration and experimentation, and provides the joy of sonic creativity that's at the heart of analog synthesis. The famous Korg filter The monotron uses the same highly acclaimed VCF circuit as KORG's classic MS-10 and MS-20 semi modular synthesizers. Originally released over 30 years ago, these instruments are still coveted today for their aggressive, dynamic filters. The VCF Cutoff knob sets the frequency or tone of the filter; the VCF Peak knobA powerful filter is an essential aspect of any analog synthesizer, applying dramatic tonals to the sound, and projecting an intense personality that will stand out in any live performance. Semi modular satisfaction Just as on the original MS-20, the monotron's filter can be "patched into," allowing any external audio source to be processed by the monotron's filter. The input jack (AUX input) built into the monotron's compact body inserts the AUX input into the signal path right before the VCF. This provides a great way to connect a KAOSSILATOR, a keyboard, a guitar, a digital audio player or even an un-mixed track to the monotron and enjoy tone-bending filter effects. Versatile LFO provides audio – and visual – excitement! You can switch the LFO to control either the oscillator pitch or the filter cutoff frequency. Both LFO Rate and LFO Intensity knobs are provided. As you turn the LFO Rate knob – featuring an embedded LED – the speed of the modulation effect and the speed of the blinking LED willin tandem. Turning this knob canen anywhere – alone or with friends A miniature speaker is built into the monotron. Along with the battery operation and compact size, this feature allows you to enjoy the monotron anywhere, at any time. The ultimate in compactness, this system brings you new possibilities for performance. There's also a headphone output that you can use when creating sounds at home, for recording, or for connecting to an amplifier or PA system. Specifications - Audio Path: VCO, VCF, LFO

  | Mackie C200 PA Speaker - Was $299.99 Looking for renowned Mackie sound quality in a portable, lightweight package? Want to instantly upgrade the sound of your existing powered mixer or amplifier without breaking the bank? The Mackie C200 2-Way Portable ive Speaker puts the superior clarity, wide dispersion, and legendary ergonomics of the SRM Series within reach of any serious musician, DJ, or small club. These compact-yet-loud speakers can be pole-mounted for use as a small full-range PA system, combined with subwoofers as needed, and even employed as high-quality ive floor monitors. Features: - Portable Precision ive loudspeaker with high-precision 1.4 inch HF titanium compression driver and 10 inch LF transducer
- Wide, even dispersion pattern means everyone in the audience hears great sound
- Asymmetrical cabinet design for best acoustical response
- Integrated low-impedance compensated crossover and transducer protection
- Tough, impact-resistant enclosure with sturdy handles, pole-mount, and integrated rigging points
- 500W peak power handling at 8 ohms
- Three setup configurations: pole mount, flyable and wedge
- ive version of the best-selling SRM350
Designed and Tuned by EAW The C Series ive Loudspeakers represent Mackie's first lightweight ive speakers designed and tuned exclusively by the Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) loudspeaker engineering team--the same folks responsible for designing loudspeaker systems for the Super Bowl, the Olympics and the Vatican. And although loudspeakers for these mega-systems cost exponentially more than the humble C200, some of the same concepts applied, namely: designing custom 10 inch LF drivers with a frequency range from 59 Hz – 3000 Hz and a 2 inch voice coil that can take a pounding. And a 1.4 inch High-Frequency titanium Driver and Horn providing a wide, controlled dispersion pattern and precise reproduction of the critical 1000 Hz – 20,000 Hz upper mid-range and high frequencies. Crossovers Tuned to Perfection Tuning a crossover (i.e. voicing a system), involves dozens of critical decisions that many manufacturers overlook. In the end, it is all about balancing the design so that you get the best subjective results from the speaker while maintaining a good technical implementation. The crossover in the C Series is a unique Low Impedance Compensated Crossover (LICC) design with an asymmetrical slope. With EQ and crossover points meticulously chosen so that beamwidth patterns match in both drivers, C Series loudspeakers offer natural sound at all volume levels. Ultra-Wide Dispersion A loudspeaker's dispersion characteristic shouldn't be lame just because its compact in size. We know that venues like coffee houses and small theatre / rec rooms can be hard to cover. Owners usually have to make do with odd shaped rooms and fixtures placed wherever they fit. The C200's high-frequency compression driver is mounted on an acoustically non-resonant exponential waveguide, providing a wide, controlled dispersion pattern and precise reproduction of the critical upper mid-range and high frequencies. The result is an unbelievably smooth off-axis response that allows everyone in the audience to experience the same high-resolution audio no matter where they are seated. Thinking Inside the Box Anyone with a factory can build a box and stick some speakers in it (and that's just what many do). But low-frequency transducers in square boxes can create resonances that reflect off the rear wall and through the woofer cone out of phase, and ready to mess up your sound. The C200 enclosure is an asymmetrical monocoque design with no parallel surfaces, causing mid and high frequency resonances to be reflected at angles into internal damping materials, instead of interfering with the woofer doing its thing. Built for Serious Abuse Designed for use with existing speakers and power amps (and optimized for use with the Mackie PPM Series), the C200 loudspeakers are ive versions of our industry-standard SRM350 portable active loudspeakers. These speakers' injection-molded composite chassis is built for the rigors of the road. And they shrug off impacts that would turn those cheap-o, fuzz covered wood box speakers into toothpicks. Makes a Wonderful Floor Monitor Too! A good floor monitor plays loudly without generating feedback through vocal microphones. A poor floor monitor, on the other hand, will generate feedback just about the time you turn it up to a useable level. Floor monitor feedback is often caused by uneven frequency response and dispersion; some frequencies arrive at the microphone much louder than others. These spikes are what trigger feedback as the floor monitor volume is increased. The C200 has incredibly smooth, spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of treble frequencies. So you can increase its volume without boosting those nasty, feedback-inducing spikes. Without extensive tuning, no ive speaker or specialized floor wedge in this class can even come close. READ MORE
