Hi Seb,

I just got my new Thorax yesterday - looks beautiful. I haven't had a chance to get it set up yet (in the process of redoing my so-called home studio) but I saw the previous post that mentioned you were tweaking the Thorax model.

I have the "older" model - or at least it looks like it is compared to the new pics on your site.

This may make me sound a bit dumb, but if I disable the EQ and Compression in the Thorax, in essence just using it as a pre-amp, is that pre-amp identical to the VMP1000e?

I'm thinking I'd like a VMP and a Thorax, but if I get them both with the Thorax, I just might pony up the extra $$$.

I was woundering if anyone could explain to me the difference between a channel strip and a mic preamp? Is the thorax the same as the vmp 1000 with the addition of the eq and compessor or is it something to add on to a mic preamp? Sorry if this is a stupid question I tried to find more info by using the search but it wasnt working.

I just wanted to tell everyone that my THORAX is here and how awesome it is. It seemed like I could do no wrong with any signal I put through it. The preamp section has all that vmp color and more. It even seems that the clean settings seem cleaner than the vmp altough, that could be my imagination... The eq section is further expanded and has a "canine" setting that I love.

Posted this in another thread, but it got missed.. so here it is again!

Can each section of the Thorax be accessed separately, ala the Origin and Quartet? Can a pair of Thorax (Thoraxes.. Thoraxi?) be connected to use the compressors as a stereo pair?

Also - can the EQ be swapped to go after the compressor.

Thanks!

HI

Watts up pro audio quoted me at almost $1800 for the thorax. I thought Sebatron was supposed to be quality gear that simple home studio owners could afford. This price is closer to all the other channel strips out there. ie. Avalon, Universal Audio, Focusrite etc. What makes this as good or better than the rest.

Sebatron ,
Could you please fill us all in on the new product you are working on? The Thorax, what is it and what will it cost? When can we expect to see it released? Some folks have been asking... Thanks, Kurt
