Anyone selling a Boonar?

Have you tried one?....I did and wasn't impressed, as an ex Binson owner I found the unit very fiddly to use due to its very small size.... and it didn't sound like I expected....the echoes seemed to be too separate from the original sound....instead of enhancing the sound it messed it up.....

Moe_Zambeek

No, just going on demos thus far as there are only 2 uk dealers...

I saw the demos and bought one from Soundgas......sent it back the same week for a refund.....there are much better units out there for that kind of money....

True enough

Better than the Booner though mate, imho.

So I found a Boonar to try and was underwhelmed, especially at the new price of £300. If these were £150 fair enough!

We did say...

Got to try these things for yourself though.

To me it sounded pretty much exactly like every other digital-analog emulation; the more of them I try the less impressed I am, the differences between them are negligible. Having said that the multi-head implementation on the Boonar is good and like I say, I'd buy one for 150.

Good to know. Was curious about this one too. Guess I'll hold on to my mf104sd then
