Lexicon ALEX Digital Effects Processor

The overall sound is pretty good actually. It is quiet and the reverbs are typical - nothing awe inspiring but not crap either. The plate reverbs are kind of nice.Read More

Roland Juno 6 Synthesizer

This synth was used on the song Oscilloscope (oscilloscope sounds)

I used one of these for years back in the day. It was owned by a friend in ‘the band’. I was sad the day it left the studio and swore I’d buy one for myself. Years went by and I bought a few others along the way. I ended up passing over the Juno 6 several times because of the lack of MIDI. Instead I bought a Juno 106 and an AKAI AX-60.

A Juno 6 landed on Craigslist for a fair price and the owner said it was in great shape. I don’t know why it caught my eye this time. It might have something to do with being in the studio recently and restoring old tracks which used the Juno 6. I decided to at least go have a look at it.

As it turns out, it wasn’t in such great shape...
