When I bought the amp, the dealer had a cheap second-hand (I'm old, but not that old) ARP Odyssey, but I wasn't aware that it would have been a better choice to buy the synth instead and in addition another amp, e.g. a Roland Cube. "Gear nerd" is swearing ;). It's simply that those synth do sound amazing, when you play them. On recordings the difference between those monsters and virtual synth often isn't that big, but when playing live, comparing a real synth and some virtual synth is hardcore. To mix a song it's always easier to use a mix of a few monster synth and some less good synth or virtual synth, than using only monsters or only crappy sound generators. Can't listen to it now. I'm already interested to hear Dave's "restoration" ASAP.
