The 80s were a hell of a decade, and right in the middle Boss came out with their micro-rack series. Most of the effects were pretty standard: reverbs, delays, compressors, phasers, flangers etc. But when it came to the delay effects (and there were multiple of them), they went a little bit wild. The most peculiar of the bunch was definitely the Boss RSD-10 sampler delay, which incorporated some features of a delay and some features of a sampler.
Naturally I wanted to play with one myself, and so...
Now as luck would have it, this is actually the second RSD-10 I bought. I had originally found a unit in good condition selling out of Italy for a pretty reasonable price, even factoring the shipping. I figured I likely wouldn't see one come up again any time soon, so I jumped on it. Wouldn't you know it, but a few days later one showed up in the US as broken for half the price. Due to the shipping time, the broken one actually showed up first, and I already had it fixed by the time that the good one arrived.
I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with two of them, but I suppose I'll figure something out.
