Tom,
I don't use the PA80 much any more for a number of reasons - none of which have to do with my like/dislike of the board.

#1 - with 4 kids (7 -> 16) I'm first an foremost a transportation service... that is VERY time consuming. So far, I've only been able to be in TWO places at once !! I'm working on three !! LOL.
#2 - I've also been very busy with the band. This have benn going well, and I play guitar (my primary instrument), not key with the band.
#3 - I've had a Triton Studio for almost a year, and I've been scratching at the surface of that, which obviously takes time away from the PA80.
#4 - spent summer months recording demos of the band using my D1600 recorder. This again has take time away from other things.

I still love to play the PA80 when I can, but time is limited. I do use it when I jam [albeit infrequently] with "the guys", mainly to provide backing rythyms, not as a featured instrument. It's great tho', to be able to pick a style and just go. Can't beat that !! And I, unlike some others of note, have no issues with the sounds on the PA80 at all.

Regards,
Steve
