some folks like the RNC (clean) some like the RNLA (not so clean) some hate those -- dbx 160 is nice nice on percussion, not on everything IMHO I like my Kultube. ("swiss" army knife) you can save a little for the 1968 (character) or a workhorse BSS 402 (control) one of those four would seem a good choice to me.. you'll need more than one.

Around here money is kinda tight so we try to fix anyting broken if at all possible. What's the issue with the drawmer? Did it go up in flames or just not come on.? If it still physically intact and you're lucky it could be something easy like bad power, bad power chord, fuse etc. Slightly less easy is power supply problem. Got anybody around that can give it a once over? May be worth the trouble before you toss it.

are you looking for an air compressor? I THINK this is a good one. I can't really read the label - I think it says......um.....Sedu..Tarbok.......no wait......Umpal ..or SulRiyn Paletech......??

You may find the power cord for your kettle fits the compressor.. Or change a fuse in the plug!
