OK curveball - has anyone used the Jomox Alpha Base? I was an early
user of the Jomox XBase09 and really hated using it but loved how it
worked in my tracks - I ditched it once I got my very own TR-909 and
miss it to this day. It had its own vibe and that killer kick. Anyway,
I've heard demos of the Alpha Base and I'm intrigued. Just wondered
what others' experiences have been, given the excellent feedback
regarding on this thread so far.
