Welcome to the forum!

Does it only have that smell when you power it, or all the time?

Ah, I see! The LM-2 is designed to tame the volume of signal peaks to prevent clipping. With drastic settings it can be used for the purpose that you have in mind, but I really wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that your playing dynamics would be lost. Every single note and especially chords wou...

Welcome to the forum! I don't know if I understand your question correctly. Do you you have a vintage LM-2 that you want to use in combination with the Katana amp? I'm not familiar with these amps, so I just had a look at the user's manual. It has a limiter effect inside as well. Is this one based o...

Thank you! And now I have two more synth repair/cleaning jobs. My brother's KORG M1 has stuck keys and broken switch caps that fell inside the chassis, plus it needs new tactile switches. And another KORG Poly-800 with inverted keys made it to me (for resale this time). Very time-consuming stuff, es...

Thank you! Well, there are a few scratches and some parts with faded colour, but overall it is in such nice shape again. When I gave the upper chassis a first rough cleaning in the bathtub, lots of dirty water was running through the sink. I don't want to know what happened to this instrument in the...
