I just spent a couple of hours playing with it, and this thing bloody rocks. Took me an hour to figure out the configuration of the filters and whats what, but now that i know it a bit better i have to say this is one serious sound mangler. The input overdrive is a bit too brutal and fizzy for my liking, but if you overdrive the filter you get some wicked low-end distortion. Put a drum loop thru that fucker and you get an instant bassline to go. More, swich the second filter to BP mode and get some swooshy toobrush effects on the hihats, just ad a new snare and youŽre ready to go...
Hell, even if it sounded crap, all the pretty lights would still inspire me to make tracks. Especially the red/green LFO one, which pulsates to show you the lfo frequency and phase. Oh, and did i mention that the bloody thing goes up to 3Khz? Hillarious, i tell ya...
As the guy who sold it to me said: "this thing is a weapon."
And i got the thing from an SSL based studio... apparently the thing was too brutal for them

Enough of me being a miserable old bugger anyway - congrats, it was the ballcocks for breaks and stuff.

It just didn`t make sense tho - theres no way you could make use of any sound ran through it with the input gain in the upper regions (unless you`re doing industrial or summat) so I never figured why they didn`t calm it down a bit and make it more versatile.

Heres a fun thing for the sherman anyway if you hadn`t already tried:
run some drums through the sherman and resample, slice and dice the buggers for a different rhythmical feel and then feed them into the frequency mod socket on the back whilst feeding some kind of synth sound through the audio input. Then resample that and it`ll give you a loppy cross-rhythm when layered underneath the original loop. Maybe that was the amp mod instead of freq or something, I forget but its fun anyway, very odd.
