I was rummaging through some old clothes and I found a blackface 3630!!!! First thing I did was lubed this baby up with some ky and slid her into the rack. I hardwired it to the board with some vintage twist ties and was ready to track. First test was just yelling into the faceplate with the power off. Totally nailed that John Mayer "Waiting on the world to change" tone! Then things got good. I powered her on. All that goo dripped all over my other outboard gear!!! MOJO!!!
I was so excited I started clapping... INSTANT RINGO!!! This box is unbelievable...

First thing tomorrow, I'm trying it with a mic.
