I have decided that since I can't order a c-lator at this time, I'm thinking of trying something a bit different. I have a small mixer and thought I would try using it as a buffer for effects in the loop of my OTS 50. Any thoughts? Anybody try this before? If you are in the Portland, Oregon USA region and hear odd noises at high volumes...well, that might mean that I have failed and will probably be, at least temporarily, deaf.
