I usually try to purchase used gear at great saving to my pocket, but I jumped on it when it came out after hearing it work, the same with the Warm Tonebeast.

I am lazy, and instead of routing things out and back found the T-Racks does the trick, and as you said, the Gem sounds nice. I use the newer and updated SKnote Disto to pillage drums or anything else when I want them destroyed. This VLA 2A is also goodly to my ear.
