Pandora MINI (Part 2)

The Pandora Mini sounds appealing through my Kurzweil monitor; that's quite expected because its predecessors are all great monitor performers. Digital signals are such that they won't let you down through non-amplifier drivers with its clarity & precision. But not all of us are fans of such manifestations, this would be deemed too angular & lacking in warmth but let's not get too critical here because they are both naturally different. I'd give the Pandora Mini a thumbs up for this appeal.

Pandora MINI (Part 1)

I've been a fan of  KORG's Pandora series of multi-effects processor for their simplicity & a jolly serving of useful tones. The Pandoras were made to be a compact unit, a hand-friendly device which serve the user on the move. The MINI is a moderation exercise as the manufacturer had chosen to do away with features deemed excessive in terms of practicality. My intention of putting the battery there was to give an idea of how 'mini' this device is & it is indeed the smallest manifestations of a Pandora unit thusfar. Coincidentally, a single AA battery is all that is needed to power the MINI. I thought after doing away with the PX5D, I'd be Pandora-free for a while but I guess that's not gonna be the case.

Compact

While the KORG people are busy reducing their Pandora (new 2011: Pandora mini) to a compact unit...

...the ZOOM camp is expanding their G1 series into the G3 unit (also new for 2011).

Regardless of the manifestations, I'm waiting to hear what's in store tone-wise.
