"I've replaced the tubes with a pair of Eurotubes ECC83S's. The result - far less noise, a smooth, warm increase in gain and compression on the output. If your samples are really hot, you can probably get it to distort, but honestly, I think this swap makes the ESX sound FAR better than stock.

This also comes with a 32MB smartmedia card and Belkin USB card reader. You may need to try inserting the card a couple of times (in either direction, as there are no markings on the reader). It DOES work, and I used the Korg open electribe editor to great success with this."
