J. Larry Member Registered: 12/14/99 Posts: 521 Loc: University, MS 38677 USA	Picked up a two channel PA processor called the �Go-Rack� by dbx. Wow, what a good buy at $29.99. It gives new life to a pair of powered speakers---either mono or stereo. It has a number features and is small and compact. However, that�s another item to carry and plug-in, if you�re into a minimum setup. Since I run vocals through the arranger, I�m finding that for solo work, I can leave the outboard mixer at home, adjust everything on the arranger, and run the output through the Go-Rack and straight to the speakers.

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5508 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	It looks like a big bang for the buck. What about effects with vocals? One reviewer said it took out the effects. http://www.zzounds.com/item--DBXGORACK _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

At one time I used a Compressor, an EQ, and a BBE sound maximizer with my JBL speakers. I feel the more you have the greater chance of having a problem. Though they do add to your sound I feel there is so much in our keyboards today it would be better to put more time in understanding our keyboard. BUT � it is fun trying all the stuff that is out there. John C.

124 Senior Member Registered: 01/01/09 Posts: 2195	If there's one instrument I'd like to use compression on to fatten it up, it's the bass. On my Pa3x it seems I can add/vary compression to the acc. tracks altogether, but how do I single out the compression to add onto basses?

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	I had a Go Rack about a year ago, when they were $99, or so. I liked it alot, but I could duplicate almost everything it did with EQ or level tweaks. The subtle differences wen't worth an extra box for me, no matter how small, or inexpensive. I did like what it did though. The presets are very useable. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

Torch Member Registered: 12/17/12 Posts: 770	Thanks for the info. It seems that the Gorack can be used for a number of purposes. Even 1/8 inch stereo input and 2 XLR outputs! A DI box just for that can be quite expensive. I think I am going to grab one or two. Originally Posted By: J. Larry Picked up a two channel PA processor called the �Go-Rack� by dbx.

Especially because it's true. But at least I'm old enough to shoot my age occasionally! I have reduced the price of the videos to 75 cents. Only $29. shipping and handling. _________________________ DonM
