Just bought this work of art at 325 euro's! This head has a nice built in programmable 7 band parametric EQ, compression and although its a solid state (non valve) head, it sends out 500w of stereo power (2x250w / 4 ohms). It has usb and midi. The other great thing is its portability - small size & only 5.5 kg! It will serve me well until the UCD stereo amp gets finished, i hope :)
