"Franz Lorbeer was helping to explain the monstermonstercase (see pic) to the audience in Frankfurt. Because it is a bit more complicated to understand the uncounted possibilities of such a system, this one will stay in Frankfurt now on display at S-MUSIC, a well known biggest musical instrument store around…"

The new Dark Energy II was being shown as well.

Jupiter 8 and Behringer CC300 Roland Analog Chorus Clone Demos

CoolColJ · Jupiter 8 ARP and Behringer CC300 Analog Chorus Pedal

"Picked up a cheap as chips Behringer CC300 analog chorus pedal - which is supposedly a clone of a vintage Roland analog chorus box :)

I used it with a power adapter, better than with a battery, I've read.

Anyway source sound is a Jupiter 8 latched arp line, single VCO sawtooth.

Raw, then switched on pedal with no buttons pressed - lowest setting, then every 2 bars I switch in each button mode in turn, and then with all buttons pressed in at the same time"

CoolColJ · Jupiter 8 sawtooth Pad and CC300 chorus pedal - all buttons pressed

"Tags: Roland Jupiter 8 pad behringer CC300 analog chorus pedal

Basic single VCO Jupiter 8 pad into Behringer CC300 analog chorus pedal with all mode buttons pressed in - strongest chorus effect I guess

A bit Juno like - not bad for $50!"
