My Annual Used Gear Run to the States

[louparte]

I'm making my annual gear run back to the States. Here is what I've snagged so far. CAD Equitek 3 v.2. Top of the CAD Equitek line, I got an unbelievable deal on it - $125!



JoeMeek MC2 stereo compressor-pre-amp.($135). I plan to use it as one of
my two mixdown compressors. The other is an FMR RNLA.



JoeMeek C2 stereo compressor(the second C2 in my rack - $100). One is an 'insert' on a synth channel in my mixer. All total, I have 4 green metal boxes by Meek, 2 C2's, 1-VC3 (my favorite) and the MC2.



I'll probably connect the new C2 to my guitar pedals. Speaking of which, I have a new pedal. I bought it new at Sweetwater, $99. Not such a great deal, but at least there is a guarantee.



And finally $45 for this. I'm thinking Aux 2 for it.


Those were prices before shipping. I sure hope all this stuff works.

Opinions on the BBE sonic maximizer anyone? I've been curious about this, having read variable reviews.

i would imagine the pedal is similar to their rack units so you may want to verify that and check their reviews. as with everything on the internet, some people like them and some don't.

play music!

I have an older rack unit in the US. I liked the effect. I have read one good review on the pedal and no bad reviews.
I'll use it on Guild acoustics and a big Jazzbox w/a KA mini-humbucker.

Depending on your needs, BBE makes a small desktop version of the unit that you can sometimes pick up for $30-40 new.
