Re: ModFX on ebay

[Dirk Wilbert <dwilbert@rhein-zeitung.de>]

YES!!! - I own two amplitons, two bitr'men' - and philtre, metavox, 
phaze and phlngr.
I love the ampliton most and feed its input with the bitrman, which is a 
real freaky bastard ;-))
I bought two amplitons and 2x bitrman to have a backup if one would fail 
in the future, this would be a real loss...
Think I will never need a real synthesizer - my CP33 piano sounds like a 
synthesiser with these two - and in combination with metavox and philtre 
there's nothing it can't do ...

...well, maybe synchronisation via midi would be nice and a functioning 
digital interface (it's a pity it doesn't work the way it was meant) - 
so I have to use the analog i/o - but still love them!
Rick, do you know a workaround for the digital "crackling" when putting 
two or three in digital a row? I bought two rackmount kits for three 
modfx units each, but at the moment I can only use two per kit, as three 
only fit in when putting digitally together.

Loved to hear from someone who adores these little boxes like I do :-)))
