RE: Can't get cheap good MIDI pedals

["Rainer Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

at the risk of being politically incorrect on this list, I'd like to throw
in Behringer, who built (and still build) a great compressor at a price
where other builders of great compressor might sell you a replacement power
supply...and who build nice cheap consoles of which people always tell me
their mic preamps sound crappy (perhaps I just suffer from bad hearing) and
they steal the ideas of other manufacturers (which is true), and who have a
lot of other nice goodies in their product line (think FCB1010, Ultra-Q,
DSP2024, Vamp)...
