Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Professional Analog Mixer with USB, Onyx Mic Preamps and GigFX Effects Engine

I had similar misgivings after I bought mine. I found it really limited and I still don't care for the kick drum. I plan on upgrading my mixer to this model which includes FX that I'm hoping will improve the kick. I've learned to integrate it into my workflows, but it's usually secondary to a Pocket Operator. If I had to do it over again, I'd go with the RD-8 or RD-9.
