Bought this patch bay from Musicians Friend about 6 yrs ago because it was cheap. Roll the dice. Used it in a live band amp rack working every weekend, so several of the Ins/Outs got regular use. Worked great for 3 yrs then got put away where it remained on a shelf in a garage in Houston's hot, humid environment for 3 years. Started putting together a home studio recently & just now hooked up the Nady patch bay to my stack of effects, compressors, EQs, etc., and it worked perfectly. What more can I say.
