Hello everyone..
I've been shopping around for a console to pair with my 002R and lots of outboard comps, efx to do mixing. I already have a great deal of pres (SCA, Hamptone, Sytek) and don't need a console for tracking/pres, what I do need is good summing, EQ and effects sends and groups.
An old trident series 65, 16x8x2 console has come up. its got some problems, apparently the supply is blowing fuses upon power up and maybe one of the modules is causing this. other than this problem it has been described as in excellent shape and not very used. I can check it out before purchasing.
I'm handy with the soldering iron and I don't mind doing work to get this console up and running IF it was at the right price and once the work was done, it turned out to be a worthy console.
Whats a good price for this thing?
I've read bits and pieces about mods to the ICs etc... whats the deal, is there someone out there who's do it? a series 65 guru?
How is the EQ, usable, musical, bad?
Can I replace the original power supply with something beefier out-of-the-box from digikey?
Thank you all!
