Your very 1st rack unit?

My first was a Digitech GSP Legend 21 I bought used in the mid '90s but it had a lot of problems so I brought it back and got a Valve FX instead. Since the Legend was basically unusable I consider the VFX to be my first.

I still have it in a closet in my gear room. I broke it out early last year and put it up for sale when I ordered my FM3T. Then I committed THE big mistake and tried it out with a couple of amp in a box type pedals in front of it. Naturally it sounded better than I remember it ever sounding and I promptly deleted my listing.

Where is it today? You probably guessed, back in that closet and hasn't been used since this experiment.

When you decide to let something go NEVER try it again, just sell it and don't look back. My closet is stuffed with unused crap due to not following that rule.

I think that has happened to ALL of us

That looks delicious, NOW, in 2024, IMO.

Behringer rack compressor, I think I had two of them to use for drums:

Then I added the 8 channel preamp which had ADAT output so I could record drums or my band's rehearsals:

Roland SDE 1000 I’d say in 83, shortly after that Korg SDD 3000 then SPX 90

Her name was Heather and we were both 15. Natural 36c's

Sorry, not sorry and I'm thinking of deleting my prior post so this one will be post #69 neener neener

It was cool. My experience of amps was VTM120s and zero idea how you use them correctly. Mine didn't have toggles. It's easy to say it did insertMarshallthinghere but I remember zero nuance.

I do know my Scott Ian Jackson sounded through it

I was going off to college and wanted a cheap guitar that wouldn’t get stolen. I purposefully got a super ugly guitar lol

You know compared to a Jackson with Heineken or Frankensteins monster they'd be way worse.
Or even worse a Randy Rhoads Concorde in pink…

The GOAT before modelers, the Rocktron Chameleon. I walked into Rainbow Guitars in Tucson Arizona in early 1997 and wanted to buy an A/B box to be able to run two Korg pedals together, and the guy there said I needed to come check out the rack room. My life was altered. I left with the Chameleon and it was my main sound for over a decade after that. This was my final rig with it before I switched to a Triaxis, I was running a Presonus Blue Tube mic pre into the front to goose the input a bit, and it just sounded huge. This rig played many shows in CA and AZ back in the 2000s.

This, with an ADA MP-1, bought in 93.

Ron Thorn did something a bit similar but a lot cooler. Still don't like it though.

My first rack unit was the SDE-1000, but in 2014.
