Dr Boost « MXR OMNI 180 Perfect condition »
Published on 03/23/13 at 08:41This rack 2 units (88 mm high) fully analog incorporates several effects: a compressor optical detection style MXR DynaComp, distortion style MXR Distortion +, an equalizer with three frequencies assignable before or after the distortion, an analog delay style MXR Analog Delay (running from circuit BBD rare Reticon SAD 4096), and a chorus / flanger style MXR Stereo Chorus with potentiometer feedback. The difference between chorus and flanger is a change in frequency range of vintage clocks circuit Reticon SAD1024. Everything works on the area!
External effects loop is assignable where desired: after compressor after distortion or post EQ after the deadline. A foot control, equipped with LEDs booster works via a multiplexer, so it communicates with the rack with a cable Jack mono 6.35.
The vintage rating this product when it is in perfect working order is 800 euros, no offense to those who are thought to have bought too expensive at 220 euros! The seller is separated completely unaware of because, apparently, or he sold it because he was in a hurry!
I remember that it is all vintage effects with a known reference in the catalog MXR, and the price is related to vintage.
There is only one MXR OMNI 180 in the world with a doubling of the base of the foot control Jack (one right, one left), the insertion of a combined outlet IEC + filter mains fuse accessible from the outside, the doubling of the connectivity front / rear with a split stereo jack into two mono jacks, associated with screen printing. This is the MXR OMNI180 Dr Boost, completely restored, almost like new!
UTILIZATION
Switching between the different effects of the respective bypass occurs in silence. The foot controls for each effect (the five above + outer loop) takes the form of a push button recalled by a red LED, while the bypass generally works through continuous contact (illuminating a green LED).
The configuration of each effect occurs very intuitive, due to the simplicity of the settings and their effectiveness / musicality respectively.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is huge, it's vintage distortion is fat and the compressor has a ballistic own optical detection systems, smooth, providing sustain. The three-band equalizer is very effective. Time delivers great sound, like chorus / flanger, fat. The MXR Omni 180 also works well with guitars that passive active models (incorporating a preamplifier).
OVERALL OPINION
I use this rack for a long time. It was the first rack MXR tried, and I did well to trust the quality and reliability and this legendary brand.
The sound is absolutely fantastic! For a vintage product, its rating of 800 euros is not misused: Calculate buying pedals VINTAGE corresponding to separate elements, add AC power to those who are deprived, add routing (assignments), and the now untraceable delay lines and Reticon SAD1024 SAD4096 (appeared on the market before the Panasonic MN3005 / 3007/3205 etc..
The value-reliability-sound is excellent.
If necessary, I would buy one willingly.
