...and no life, and no reason to exist, and just an overall drag.
However, the V-1 and V-2 sucked even a bit worse than the V-3 and VR but for the most part, Mr. Williams has hit the nail squarely on the head.
One of my favorite George Massenburg quotes: "I never thought I'd ever work on a desk that sounded worse than an SSL until I sat down behind a Neve "V" series".
I once pulled two weeks worth of sessions out a room with a V-3 because the desk sounded like ass and I wouldn't work on the thing... fortunately the producer agreed with me and the studio had another room open without a "V series" POS sitting in the middle of it.
On the bright side... it does have the "N word" on the side...
Peace.
