Wonder who'll get the Sintefex, Noah? I'd quite like a second one to be able to run two sets of samples, but other things are taking priority gear-wise at the moment.

Thanks to Dave Davis via the MWB I've now discovered that the FX 2000 makes an excellent colourless digital EQ and compressor in addition to its other talents - don't you just love it when you think you know everything about a piece of equipment and some new gem feature pops up? I'd be intrigued to know what Mike Kemp and colleagues are cooking up in Portugal at the moment.

As far as the Kultube is concerned, I had one for review in mid-2002, liked it a lot and can see why mastering people are expressing an interest. Stand-out moment of the evaluation period for me was discovering that the manual was written in splendid 'Germanlish', so the distortion control was described as rendering the signal 'infinitely variable to desperation' - as I said at the time, maybe not so badly translated after all.

All the best with your sale.

Nigel, have you ever tried the "tube mic" sample on program material? I use it when I need the kick to pop a little out of the mix. I've analyzed the signal and it actually distorts the bass a a little and creates a some top frequency phase shift. Strange but sounds very nice and that's all that matters.

Have you tried any of the samples from the sintefex fan site http://sintefex.pitonelab.ru/ ?

Haven't heard the tube mic sample, though I once found a use for 'Marshall stack' on a track for Defenestration where they wanted the whole thing to go to total distortion at the end - in the word of our moderator, kewl!

As far as Pitone Lab are concerned, I've not checked out their samples but will do at some stage as there are a couple of interesting boxes there such as the Weiss, of all things. I notice they haven't got into EQs yet: Mike Kemp told me that Pitone would need coaching and a software toolkit (which he was willing to provide) should they want to do a full replication as opposed to a series of snapshots.
