I guess it doesn't seem as expensive when you're spending other peoples money...
My point is they probably were expensive (at the time), and he didn't bother to remotely case them properly...

Re: hmmm
The sad thing is that those plastic milk crates can be stupid expensive. Finding them for under $20 can be a challenge.
This is $24.90, shipped
Advantage Gripware 6 Gallon Milk Crate, Posing Box MC191349
This is $51.

So the milk crate is half the price, I guess. What a deal.

Re: hmmm
They didn't last long.
That was back in the 80's. The problem was that there was no way to access the wires in the back and no covers for protection.

Re: hmmm
Yep. They were called Rack Crates
They were the right width (unlike a real milk crate)
No covers, not deep enough for most stuff you'd want to put in them,
and the hand hole/carrying handle hole in the back was way too small to access anything.

Re: hmmm
Back in the day I found a [milk] crate of the appropriate size (I think at the Ben Franklin) and put my ADA MP-1 in it. I remember thinking about how much I was saving over buying the name brand Rack Crate. Of course, I didn't have as much trouble reaching the back connectors until I bought more gear to fill it. I'm still trying to decide if I miss those days.

4 ULXp's with sm58's and that antenna distro was around $4000 for me a few years back.
Yes that was expensive and still is. (to me)

Re: hmmm
Ah, ADA. I still have one of their "STD" units, the Stereo Tapped Delay. The taps were not multiples of each other so they are not harmonically related. Great chorus unit, from 'thick' to 'bizarre'. IIRC it used analog delay chips with companding noise reduction.
Thanks for the memory jog.

Re: hmmm
I pulled my MP-1 out a few years ago and found that it doesn't "boot" up correctly and therefore nothing works. I poked around under the hood but couldn't find any fixes. Can't bring myself to get rid of it though. I think the STD was a few years before the MP-1. A little more vintage I think.

Drew, I *think* I had an MP-1 (not sure of the model # now)... 4 presetable effects (flanger that was really sweet, chorus, doubler, and short echo delay ~250ms) and came with a foot switch to select the FX or bypass. It was quiet for an analog unit, eventually sold it to a guitar player. I recall the flanger having a very short time, around 0.25ms at the minimum. The flanges were clear and clean and swept waaaaaay up.

Nah, the MP-1 was their midi programmable tube preamp. It had a built in chorus that could also do a short doubling delay and that was about it. What you describe sounds really cool though. I keep thinking that when I'm in my 80s I'll start playing guitar again. I guess I'll keep some of this stuff until then?
