BOSS SE-70
Yesterday I dropped by Shinjuku Sofmap 3 (the Mac store), where they also sell used MIDI instruments and gear, and picked up a BOSS SE-70 for ¥7800, a good deal which Nick told me about last week.
The SE-70 is a powerful stereo effect box from the late 80's that contains dozens of different effects (delay, reverb, phaser, flanger, chorus, distortion, vocoder, etc etc.), all of which can be combined together. There are also over a hundred preset combinations. The interface is great too, the main knob and two parameter-switching buttons make it easy to tweak settings even while playing (well, depends what).
My friend and Glad En Mono band mate Raf used to own this in the early/mid-90's, and we used it for some recordings, and also in a grunge band in which I played drums.
It's great to have one of these in my hands again.
Next, I'm looking forward to picking up a small 4-channel mixer that I have sitting in a closet at my parents' home. On previous trips I had been hesitant to bring it mainly because of suitcase space concerns, but this time I'm determined to do so.

p.s. theres a set of 100 guitar/vocal presets and another very different 100 Keyboard/vocal presets in ROM. You can switch by pushing the round knob during powerup and choosing which bank to install for the 100 presets the machine actually accesses. It will overwrite any custom sounds you made and stored so you might want to save any custom user presets to computer that you made yourself before you overwrite them.

Thanks for the tip! Didn't know that. :)
I'll give that a try!
