Thanks everyone for your kind replies. I'm crazy and mixed up these days. I might try the EA-7 and will keep the 3X. I really just need a spark (not for my new pacemaker) to stir up some fresh ideas and to have FUN for a change. Even with no gigs in sight, timing cannot be more perfect. Hope everyone finds some joy in making music again (I haven't touched my board in weeks - so sad).
