so I was at band practice tonight, when jerome (my youth pastor) says "hey, we have some stuff someone donated a couple years back, why don't you try hooking up to it?" so I'm like, "ok"... yeah, turns out what the stuff was was a rackmount digital effects unit with tube pre-amp, and a midi foot controller for it... after playing using only the presets for like an hour we found some really cool sounds. I haven't even tried to make my own setting yet, though I feel it would take hours because there are just so many things you can do with this thing! I don't even know where to start... he let me take it home with me... so, I'm going to be having some fun... he gave me the manual for it... it's like a fricken novel! it's huge!!!

I couldn't find any info on it... it's called an ARC SGX 2000, and the foot controller is an ARC X-15 (or something like that). don't know how much it's worth, but I'm sure it's expensive! yeah, just thought I'd make you all jealous.
