Look at all the new features on the latest Pico revision, the P3500:

I've been playing with a stereo beta set for a little while, and I agree with the Mercenary copy completely. Very cool that there's now an add-on stereo slave module. I imagine the stereo slave module may cause some misunderstandings; think of it like a DBX 162, or other similar dedicated stereo unit. Still works great as a mono channel, even after connection for stereo.

I may go back and DIY some of the new features into my original versions! Fire up the drill!

Hey lunchboxhero

The stereo slave module connects to the P3500 by way of a 6 conductor cable. Came up with a physically simple solution for that.

I have had really good feedback on all of the true power summed rackmount stereo comps and now you get that in the 500 format for a very low price.

Not being a simple compressor means a more complex linking scheme as is, but this cable also has to carry relay lines for bypass, HPF and Feedback mode.

Of course, stereo imaging is dead on accurate, something we are very proud of!

The red Pico 500s are discontinued.
