It's got a honking metal weight in the base, and the base is also rubber. I guess you could blu-tac it if you wanted ultimate fixed-edness

Thanks for the link.

I was about to order one of these until I read that quite a few purchasers mentioned that it had a very strong smell of oil/diesel/exhaust fumes or WD40, and that it even stank out the room!

Did you find this?

It smells of factory fresh rubber, like most things bare rubber when new

I did notice it, but fully expect the smell to subside as time goes on, just like other rubbery stuff does.

Or I could just rinse it under the tap with some soap.

Thanks... it was just something which quite a few reviewers mentioned on Amazon, and which some obviously felt quite strongly about, even to the extent that it put them off the product.

Well, amazon reviewers are like youtube commenters in many ways

Lovely, how are you finding it?
How much, and what bits did you get with it?

Still setting it up, and have to go out so not much time to play

Got an offer of £975 accepted on eBay.

Ordered the Teal keyboard from Microsoft, but will use my Pro 3's keyboard for now.

It was already in the UK. Not sure how.

Over the last few weeks I've been selling stuff and saving for this beauty below.
I had planned to take the £469 to pay a full deposit on one this morning but last night I had a Gumtree email alert telling me there was one for sale in Perton Wolverhampton for £250.
I picked it up this morning saving £220 - back of the net.

I have absolutely no idea what it is, what it does, or even what you would use it for, but well done on getting something you obviously wanted badly... and at a great price too!

Never knew Roland makes one of these, what sounds are there in the banks? Tubescreamer? Marshall lead?

Everything.
Not only is it a very advanced COSM guitar effects generator creating any guitar into any amp sound, it also plays synth sounds.
Here is a great example of it's capabilities -

Pretty cool piece of kit.

Such an incredibly clear sound, is that all product of the machine or is his finger work sufficient to make even the careless whispers exceptionally clear?

MagicBoy · 31 Oct 2015 at 13:24

That's a very clever bit of kit. I approve!
