THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM!!

I'm sure we've all heard the saying, "Built like a tank." Well, this little box actually IS built like a tank. From the all metal (Heavy) construction of the housing to the quality that can be felt in the knobs and buttons when you use them. You can actually FEEL that this baby is made with the highest quality components and materials.

How has it stood up over time?
I have only used the Spectrum in four performances so far. But I honestly don't foresee any problems in the future. I can see me using the Spectrum for years to come. I will NEVER part with it. If my Spectrum should be stolen (heaven forbid) I will purchase an identical model immediately.

I have searched for YEARS to find that "tone." Any musician that plays an acoustic instrument knows exactly what I mean by this. Wewn we plug in, we are all looking for that rich, pure, deep sound that we get from our beloved instruments when playing unplugged. Personally, I play a Martin D-28 that I am in love with. But when I plug in, it's just another acoustic that sounds electric! I just couldn't get my baby's gorgeous acoustic sound when playing in amplified live performances. I tried many, MANY pick-up systems, different eq settings, mixers, DI boxes, effects units, blenders, pre-amps, even mics (too much feedback)- you name it and I've tried it. They ALL fell short! Then I bought the Spectrum. WOW!! Don't spend thousands of dollars like me playing the "trial-and-error" game. NO, this baby isn't cheap. But for what it does for your sound, in my opinion it is UNDERPRICED!! You'll LOVE it!

Overall great unit. I'd prefer if it had separate in and out fx loop rather than insert type loop.
