P.S.
OB-X and OBa:
Nowadays they can be fixed and adjusted precisely. NO fools anymore ever !

Ha. I look forward to picking one up then.megavoice wrote:P.S.

We use filters differently. I look for resonant quality and I have a couple of "acid test" patches that I dial up.megavoice wrote:ASTONISHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And impressioning about the SO positive feedback about the 08. You hit the target heavily.
But, MC, you`re right and wrong.
The key is, and this has been now often discussed: When the filter, exspecially 24dB, is fully open it sounds week. But that`s absolutely NO PROBLEM. The more you close, the more sound becoms fatter and fatter.
That`s the key.
That`s a worldwide common mistake that people crank up the filter and judge without going more deeply into.
If you start moving the filter with all the modulation sources, ENV, etc you`ll get head-blowing.
I don`t know what you did in that store then.
The video image had a clear view of the rear panel. There were CV/trigger input/output jacks where the DB37 Oberheim Interface port was on the OB-Xa/8, which positively identified it as an OB-X.vinnyburns wrote:There were two OB's One was definitely an OBX-a and the other I am sure was black. Would that have been the OBX?

But DONĀ“T forget about the many parts you`ll find more and more rarely for an eventual fixing.vinnyburns wrote:Ha. I look forward to picking one up then.megavoice wrote:P.S.

Well, you`re right, I rarely use the 12dB, probably for the same reason, but I`ve to admit that till now I didn`t put an eye on intensively. I`m going to jump on in the next time because you made me itchy now.MC wrote:We use filters differently.

The 24dB filter wasn't bad. The 12dB filter, yuk. When in 12dB mode the resonance control seemed to have next to no effect, couldn't get any resonant color out of it.
Here is the OB-8. Forgive the clothes. It was the 80's haha.vinnyburns wrote: PS After Darren moved back to Manchester when Lizzy split, it was on OB-8 he bought for himself. So, although he used an OBX/OBX-a in Lizzy, we definitely had an OB-8 in Dare. I have pictures of it from the studio and the odd gig where we were still using it.
Guilty as charged lol. My mullet is truly a mullet to behold hahaha.MRNUTTY wrote:clothes? you mean hair don't you?
looking at it again, I think both are fair game!
