T-Rex Replicator D'Luxe & AC Noises Respira w/ Buchla 208C 

Congrats on grabbing one! It's such a cool device. I've had it for a year and a half almost and I haven't had any issues with either thing you mention. It hasn't required any maintenance (as far as I'm concerned haha) and I'm still using the original tape. That being said I have a lot of effects and don't use all of them all the time, so I wouldn't say I've used it regularly enough to know how the maintenance part would go if you used it every day for that amount of time. That being said, I love it, and I don't mind if it requires a little service every now and then. I also don't mind if it gets noisy or has any slips or anything, that's all part of the charm for me so I'm along for the ride when it comes to tape. =)

Thanks so much! Glad to have you checking out the channel. I love Elektron stuff (obviously) - which are you most interested in to start? Happy to answer any questions or give you my thoughts on any of them. =)

@@Duskmos​​⁠I have a ST so seeing you use gear I have to review other things is great. Especially the chroma console and electro harmonix platform as master compression, limiting, distortion/clipping etc is something I wish the ST had so seeing you use that exact combo means I know they work well already :)

@@legendhobbo12 Awesome! Yeah the ST is a ton of fun! The Platform is perfect on it. 🙌

@@Duskmosmight I suggest a pedal for you to look at? Not necessarily for a video but the empress reverb is a fantastic bit of kit, on the higher end of budgets but great sound

@@legendhobbo12 Thanks for the suggestion! =) I'm always open to suggestions!
