grawk Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Justin's Pico Slim gets leaked, and so Ray announces a direct competitor that's "in the works"... News - Ray Samuels Audio Last year I received a PM from a head-fier gbx2006 who sent this link Digital Volume Control and asked me if I would consider digital volume control to make the P-51 even thinner. I told him I was already working on it but with a control with higher quality and usability for audio than in the link, and it was called The Shadow. If you think the Emmeline P-51, Mustang, is very, very small, think again. The new volume control allows me to not only make The Shadow even smaller but also improve performance and usability.

aardvark baguette Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 And no doubt it will rival the b-52 in sound quality, rendering every other RSA product useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Clearly a complete coincidence! Don't be hating. Also, if it is 30% thinner will that mean it needs 30% less burn-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I loved the BS about having 3000 pots that are of no use to him. Does anybody think that Ray has sold 3000 portable amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFKMan23 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Given how vastly inflated the Apache and B52 sales figures are I just assumed this was the usual BS that Ray spews. Given how many portable amps he has and the extrapolated sales numbers on those, I would almost call 3000, a bit low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPH Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I once had a Hornet, it made static noise when I turned the volume control, but Ray said it was normal behaviour. He finally solved the problem, no more volume control, yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I haven't given out details on what I am using yet. At best, he can be using the same thing that I am, because nothing better exists. I went with a rotary pot/knob interface for it, although anything could be used - rotary encoder, push buttons, toggle switch, thumb wheel...because I feel a lot of hand holding is going to be needed to get people comfortable with the words 'digital volume control'.
