Yay for the Benelux!

What about the supremacy battle?

The Scratchbox is 1000 USD in the shops. The first units have been shipped to the US and Canada. Check your local guitar center.

I definitely am sticking with the Rodec Scratchbox, not for the obvious reason but it's such a good piece of kit that hasn't let me down. I've heard some horror stories about the 08-Pro from a lot of people in my immediate area: -Adapters burning out -sound quality issues -bleeping sounds when the fader cuts in and out (firmware) -heat issues -the unit not powering up at all. The Scratchbox doesn't have any of these issues mentioned above and that is to be expected for a product that is in the same price range of the Vestax 08-Pro. On top of that all faders have full curve control that can't be touched by any other brand( just ask any owner, they will confirm!!) I can't believe people would invest in a piece of equipment that has been proven to be faulty the world over. I want to ask a simple question. Although the 08-Pro has a few more fancy features over the Scratchbox and has a nice shiny layer on the faceplate, why would anyone buy a mixer with so many flaws ? Brand loyalty? The Scratchbox beats the 08-Pro in the sound department, (all) fader curve adjustment, solid build and plug and play faders such as PnG, Pro X Fade, PCV, infinium, TKD Profade. Let's face it, the Scratchbox would even beat the 08-Pro in all of the essential features even if the 08-Pro was flawless. It's going to blow up in the States! Be on the look-out, the list of users is growing.

I hope you will enjoy the Scratchbox Oliver. I know still I do. My Rane TTM-56 has been locked away in my flightcase for over a year now.
