Bass player for 30ys could never justify 2k for rack 1176 except in studio. Now its on my pedal boards, sound, perfect as studio rack one was, construction, should be in fallout series as it will survive the blast plus knobs old school smooth. Size matter, pedal size studio rack sound, unbelievable. conclusion, save up and buy, one of the few pedals that in 30yrs you will still have on your board, thats a pound a yr for 30yrs value for money. You will miss it if its not there and enjoy its subtle perfection when it is.
