I remember all the press around the VL-1 when it came out. I never played one... they sure look nice.
ReplyDeleteHA HA! The front panel looks like the dash on my Town Car!
ReplyDeleteDang, why don't these things ever show up when I've got spare cash!
ReplyDeleteI've bought and subsequently sold 4 of these. Every time I don't have one in the studio, I pine for one. As soon as I get one, I end up having no use for it.
ReplyDeleteI've always made a profit, though, and I now have a bunch of breath controllers.
