Hey guys, I just purchased an Ashly XR 1001 unit with the intention of using it in a 3-way mono old school setup trying to get back the sound I had back in the 80s.

Anyone have experiences with the Ashly 508 mixer for location classical work? I like the feature set ... not too many bells/whistles, and 2-space rack mountability is very attractive. But of course, sound and quality of the pream section are what I'm looking for.

Ashly SC-66A & SC-63 Para EQ.
How do these compare to dbx 242 or Orban?

Anyone familiar w/ this goliath? Made in late-80s/early-90s. It's a 3U space 4-band stereo (dual mono or link-able stereo) parametric, but I can't find any specs about it on the web. I know Ashly was an early pioneer of parametric EQ. Is this sucker tube? Transformer? Gerbil on a wheel (it's big enough to house a whole family of wheel-running rodents)?

ok, i purchaced a couple of eq's on ebay. one was an ashly sc-66a, which i like. ( if anyone knows anything about the balanced XLR mods to this unit please drop me a line). the other, getting to the point, was a 7 band notch filter ( model sc-68). it seems like a straight forward cut-only eq, except one knob that is labled "speed" (slow to fast of course).
