Yeah I meant more of the building block Lego mixer. I guess this is formatted to fit colour amps and what not.

I get the feeling all of these Lego style consoles are trying to hit the you can buy any size, stereo / mono module mix you want and add more inputs later if we are still in Buisness! Thing is that's kind of cool, but then everybody figures out that a simple used Mackie is cheaper, road worthy and pretty much has the same feature set! I always thought that if Paul Wolf had had a sales guy's input the Tonelux format could have been great but it needed a couple of tweeks 1 should have been built around API centers. 2 should have been set up so that if I wanted a linear fader the dual concentric rotary fader/ pan pot was easily replaced with a just a pan pot! 3 besides the Tonelux discreet opamp modules they should have offered a line of less expensive interchangeable monolithic opamp modules as well so somebody could buy in at a lower price point! However everybody wants a console that integrates with 500 series modules but few seam to realize the real estate needed ( ask RB or Noah Shain about the foot print of a 1608 vs any other 16x8 !)! |

I built my own back in 1980, it was a ton of work. I only did it because commercial stuff was very expensive. I would never do that again. Consoles are 2 cents on the dollar used.

In their defense it's just going to sit in somebody's bedroom😎 But hey the fact that Gibson skipped NAMM for CES, the fact the only place I saw Gibson's monitors was Nebraska Furniture Mart and a LP Cajun at TJ Maxx are telling, this isn't our world anymore John! Don't worry about GC worry about the fact we are headed for the shelves of Walmart! |

Don't worry about GC worry about the fact we are headed for the shelves of Walmart! Maybe so but I don't have to accept it! "Mixing board by Lego!" Humpf! And who would buy "Gibson monitors" anyway? A couple years ago I saw them prominently featured in catalogs from online music retailers. Maybe the fact that now they're down to Nebraska Furniture means that they're learning that Henry J's "vision" is just an hallucination..... Nah, probably just wishful thinking..... |
