Description

Rackmount stereo multi-effect device from the 90's. This one was built in 1993 and was well ahead of it's time with 20KHz bandwidth and 24 bit processing, 50 effects, a tuner and a fully featured MIDI implementation.The unit works perfectly, actually hasn't been used that much. There is a very slight amount of surface rust but noting of any concern. In operation it is remarkably clean and quiet. This was a competitor to the Yamaha SPX90 but is a much higher spec.

I'm selling this with the ART X-15 ultrafoot controller which is configured to tightly integrate with the alpha 2 allowing not just patch selection but also allowing effects within a patch to be toggled on or off and two real time expression pedals allowing control of effect parameters.

The foot controller sends standard MIDI messages and is easily programmed to suit individual rigs.

I bought these together brand new back in the 90's and never really did much with them. I don't use them so doesn't make sense to keep them. I have the original paper manuals and maybe even the original box.

Not looking for trades, I have way too much gear. Collection in Sallins is best, too big and heavy to ship.
