  Hey! I had that exact same TEAC deck! Love those ofd rock’n meter needles with the rainbow coloured background (red at the high end); wish they’d bring them back.

  The Roland SRE is still used on Jagger’s vocal in concert.

  *DROOL*

  I feel lucky that I live in an age of pretty decent VST’s though. NO way I could afford any of this stuff nowadays.

  It’s weird to think I’ve sat next to and performed with this guy… You forget how well known people are haha.

  Just acquired a SH-7 a few weeks ago and really loving it. Great for dark and experimental electronic music. I wonder what albums/tracks he actually used it on.
