Equipment File #13: ART SGE effects unit

ART SGE Mach II

Equipment File 13

The Studio had been using the Alesis QuadraVerb for a few years when it was decided another effects unit was needed for more variety. So in 1996, it got the ART SGE Mach II effects unit.

Harry had this ART effects unit and had not been using it much. And Jason had a Sega Genesis that he had not used for a while. So Jason exchanged his Sega and $75 for this unit. The ART also came with a foot board, but Jason never used it.

This unit did not replace the Alesis, but added to the pool of effects than was now available to the Studio. It was used for a few songs, mostly heavier and weirder unreleased NueroMorgue songs. But it just wasn't as popular as the Alesis.

The Studio still has the unit but it has not been used in years and there are no plans to use it any time soon. So it will remain on stand-by for the time being.
