I almost went down this road last year then thought differently. I know you want the legit, real deal, gear, but you may want to consider a channel strip or something of the like. It's really a single channel mixer and some, read many, have instrument voicing which I do believe is exactly what the IVP is. So far I've tried using the Presonus Eureka which was very similar to the IVP (although I didn't care for the IVP) and recently heard a bassist using a JoeMeek (http://www.joemeek.com/sixq3.html#) and it was phenomenal! If I was going down the route I'd likely opt for the JoeMeek.
Yes, I still have a UE700.

There's no way I'm spending big bux on this. I remember getting them for less than $100. It's weird how the price fluctuates on these units. No supply = high price.

I know you want the legit, real deal, ...To be more accurate - I just want the sound. How I get it isn't necessarily important. I just try the 'real deal' because I'm ignorant when it comes to other options!

I inquired since it was my other option but too expensive new but a trusted friend said it had a colorful compressor that works will with guitar so I wanted to try it out.I know you want the legit, real deal, ...To be more accurate - I just want the sound.
