to say my opinion on something,, they all say that the solstice is good, me personally I do not like the eq solstice ,I like the equinox best.

There was an sps-1 on ebay recently and the bidding started at 1K and I was the only bidder. I've been using a solstice and the Baggs para-di for several years and was impressed with the difference between those and the pendulum.
Relative to the comments about expense, its been my finding that its cheaper, actually, to buy quality used components and maybe sell them later for the same price or close to it, rather than buying lesser quality and finding later that nobody wants it and you can't get a good price, like Behringer gear. It may work fine for some gigs, but the resale potential is quite low. |

There is a risk, of course, in buying used... so far I have been fortunate. (bought and sold LOTS of guitars to learn the different sounds and feels... bought them all used, and I have never lost a penny even taking shipping into consideration).

However Solstice and the subject blender, doing a great job, and in cooperation with the equinox, is believed to be a good option

I have used the pendulum, the PAMDI and the padi (could be a song in there somewhere) and some other digital processors as well. The Pendulum is far and away the best i have heard (the PAMDI though is pretty darn good)
Because i have the PAMDI on my pedalboard and have decided to stick with the pedalboard, i am probably and somewhat regrettably going to sell the Pendulum. www.roberttemplemusic.com www.youtube.com/brokenpretzel |

I currently have two pendulum sps-1 units. I have to sell one to help fund another guitar!

since it is so good the sps-1, why the give?

are you asking if its so good, why sell?
because I had 3 of them playing around blending 4-7 sources and just don't need all of that! I thought 2 of them would still be fun blending 3-5 sources and leaving a channel open for vocals. fow I am happy with one sps-1 to blend 2-3 sources. but I'm sure I'll pick up another (ALWAYS keeping one), but have to fund this new guitar coming The cool thing is, if you have two sps-1s, you can have greg at pendulum wire them together so you can still have all the inputs and have only 2 outs.

and i'm selling mine because i have decided to keep everything on my pedalboard. I am also a 7 string player playing more or less bass and guitar in a rockier style. I still think the Pendulum is the best acoustic guitar preamp there is but the PAMDI (no longer made) does a good job and fits on my pedalboard

another Pendulum
Can anyone compare the Pendulum HZ-10 SE Preamp to the SPS-1. I know it's an older unit, but I've seen them used for $4-500. Worth it?
thanks |

Today for fun I recorded my Lowden O25 w/ K&K into 3 different preamps, all running into my "live" PA, then out to a digi 003 to Pro Tools. This was by no means scientific (kinda why I didn't post the recordings) but it was interesting to ponder. I used the preamp of the Yamaha EMX 512, a PARA DI, and a Presonus ADL 600. I thought that would span cheap to expensive so to speak. I recorded the 3 with and without EQ. Without EQ the EMX was bright, and the PARA DI and ADL were a touch bass/mid heavy. Doing my best to EQ for optimal sound, the EMX was ok, the PARA and ADL came out sounding better to me but similar. Point....big price difference on the PARA and the ADL for similar sound. I'd love to post some recordings if someone could give me a scientific method to use. I'd also like some sps-1 users to post a gig/home recording or something to get a taste of the sps-1. Love to hear the Highlander folks are talking about as well.
