Same happened to me. Paid for a used one from Sonic Circus and they ended up sending me a brand new one for $1100

For air I use GML but to be honest, everyone's taste is different. What works for one might not work for another. See if you can demo it. I like using outboard MB it's very versatile.

These unit can differ one to another. I demoed it and wouldn't give it back, but that's just me.; )

Hey Tom what do you think about the Drawmer S3 ?

i got my tube tech smc 2b only for some months now.
just tried it on dance drums and liked it a lot too! good advice ... ;-)

for the 2bus i like the alan smart c2 followed by the smc 2b.
imho they both work great together. did you ever tried that?
