Congrat's Tom, enjoy your new widget. Just wanted everyone to know - Keep your eyes pealed for the upcoming thread on the TC M350.
Andy Peter's (sic) is currently looking out his window for the Big Brown Truck bearing gifts.

Said Big Brown Truck arrived not long after I got home from work last night, just in time for my gig tonight with Elf Power. Stay tuned (in a new thread).

One of the most important issues to me from any vendor, besides a decent product, is how they take care of you when things go wrong.
In this case, one channel went dead on a C300.
I got up on the TC website, posted an issue.
Got email within 24 hours.
They told me what to do, what to check.
I sent the unit in.
TC acknowledge reciept of the unit. Told me estimated times.
During the estimated time quoted, a new unit showed up at my door.
It doesn't get better than that.
Other vendors should take notice.
...it's in the service, silly.

One of the annoying things about the M300 is the position of the 'Vintage Phaser' patch. Located a knob click down from slapback, it's in that location that is tough to see with the popular rack mounted light PSU.
Slapback is so popular in my mixes, I'm reaching for this all the time. In the heat of mix, I've had the phaser start out a song a few times.
I wonder if the ergonomics of the 350 improve on this.

Nope, sorry Tom. Still the same:

I see they've eliminated the redundant Flanger, and went with a 'Vivid Chorus' in its place.
I think the 300 will become my snare insert FX.
That'll teach it.

Loren,
The threshold knob on the C300 is referenced to 0dBFS (decibels full scale) due to the digital nature of the internal processing. I find setting it somewhere between -15 and -30 works well for me, -20 would be roughly equivalent to the 0dBu you're used to.

0dBFS is often specced at 24dBu. This could be the "official" value, but I could be wrong.

Robert, I use one for acoustic guitar all the time, and I just did 6 shows over two days with a pair of wireless lavs and a handheld at high end corpie gigs... took care of presenters with less than even voices and less than predictable head movement smoothly and seamlessly. Made my job easy.
