Not much to say about these. Mainstay of acoustic preamps. Hard to get a bad sound with these. In my experience, nearly plug and play. Occasionally I'd take out some bass or add some sizzle. Indispensable tool to tame the feedback. Notch filter is what I used the most, and phase reverse. Here's the info from the site:

Classic EQ at a fair price, someone needs to snatch it up. I'm digging the new pic of you, Buco. The smile on your face says, in a subtle way, you just nailed a solo over some tricky changes.

Thank you, Mike. I think I took one solo during that gig. A local group asked me to come in on rhythm where they played for swing dancers. My daughter was there dancing away with her friends, that's probably what Jeff (MacMillan) caught.
