TimeMachine, the Quest for Rack cheeze.

[2Loud2Old]

Okay, my recent return to the ADA MP-1` fold, combined with my 45th B-Day, I've decided to put together the ultimate rack system from days gone by.

Goal: To completely piss EVERYONE off on open jam nights by being "That Old 80's Rack Guy"
Requirements: Must be Rack Gear, no heads or combo amps.
Must be gear available from around '83 to '89

I've already got my Soloist Pro and Marshall Slant 412.
I've got my MP-1 and Microtube Power Amp
I've got a Rocktron Hush IIC

Still need:
EQ
Delay Unit / Multi-FX
Speaker sim - Palmer PDI or ADA Microcab
Alternative pre-amp?
BBE ?
Period correct control pedal

Anything missing?

I want to end up with a 12 space unit, so I can roll it next to the guy with the Egnator/OCD setup and ask
"Where's the rest of your stuff?!?"

I like it.

what were those delay units all the big names were using back then? Lexicon PCMs or something?

[markD]

for delay/multi effects a couple of the popular ones were:

yamaha SPX90
alesis quadraverb
lexicon PCM 70, 80, 90
TC 2290
ADA S1000
Digitech DSP128, DSP256
Roland GP8, GP16

I remember the ART stuff, I could never afford that stuff, so I have no experience with them.
Looking around the 'net, most seem to have a negative opinion of them.

I've come across a Digitech GSP-21 with foot controller, not sure when it was made.

Most of us back then had the Digitech DSP 128 or 128+, Yamaha SPX 90, or you can do as I did and finally broke down back then and splurged on a Korg A3. I still have my MP-1 and Microtube power amp from then but sold off the Korg A3 years ago as well as the DSP 128+. The Digitech DSP 128, wow was that a long time ago!
