Veel geluk Markske ...het heeft mij een jaar gekost!
Some time ago we had a brother in Germany that was planning to sell his. The guy with sunglasses ...and the beautiful pictures ...and the MK signature ...o-o-o ...my memory ...

It seems that nobody is selling those.
Where can I have a good price in the states for a new one?

Marc ...het IS zeldzaam!
Maar het wordt aangeboden hoor hier, ?cht waar!
Als je de US probeert: g??n probleem maar dan moet je wel een andere transfo aankopen! Zij vetrekken van 110V wij van 220V. G??n probleem ...die haal je gewoon bij een Gamma.

Paul's right; we be trekkin' at 110 volts.

You can use any SF-2 with a locally obtained transformer (wall wart). Just make sure you follow the voltage requirements and the polarity printed on the back right next to the connector for the transformer.

Lang leeeeeeeve de Marc!
OK ...tweaking and fiddling can start now!
Don't worry ...we SF-2 owners ALL had that funny headache after a while!
It will pass ...after the fiddling ....the tweaking ...the turning ...the plunging ...

Congrats and enjoy.  I'll second Paul TBO - let the tweaking begin!  One piece of advice:  Tweak it one channel at a time.  For example, I use mine in the mono mode.  In this mode, think of the SF-2 as a 3 band mixer - one dry channel and two filtered channels.  I turn down the gain on the two filtered channels all the way so I'm hearing the dry channel only.  I then set my amp's tone controls to get the sound I like best.  Next I turn the dry channel gain back to 0 so there is no sound at all.  I then turn up the gain to one of the filtered channels and find a frequncy in the high end I want to accentuate that sounds good (using the filter set at either high pass or band pass, whichever gets me what I like with the particular guitar I'm playing).  The gain on this channel then goes back to 0 again and I do the same with the second filtered channel, setting it for a low frequency I like, (low pass or band pass filter setting).  I then bring in the dry channel and high end filtered channel and mix them all together to taste, adjusting only the gains.  If using the SF-2 in stereo mode, adjust accordingly.  This one-at-a-time method really helped me get a handle on what can easily be an amazing but overwhelming piece of equipment.  Have fun!
 
Bill, tgo
