Exef was a German manufacturer of electronic music equipment. This is a preamp with a programable effects foot controller, the EXEF PSE 1000 M. Three dedicated programable, pan-able effects options A,B & C. They can be saved in any combination as recallable, each with a send & return. There are 3 additional send & returns controllable as inserts. The Sidekick foot controller has a large floor display and can manage easily.
I dug this up from an auction sellers description and AI translated it.
World famous and good quality such as Bogner and Diesel
Germany is also known for its many guitar amplifier brands.This is the famous machine "PSE 1000 M MK2 by EXEF" from Germany. This product integrates a programmable preamplifier and switching system. It's unique, and I don't think I've ever seen a product with this kind of concept. It was released in the early 1990s, and at that time it was expensive at about 400,000 yen, and it had a strong image of being a professional device. I don't think there are many people who know this brand because it disappeared without being popular with general users. It is also known that Mr. Hiroshi Shibasaki of WANDS at that time used the 1000 M MK2 during the WANDS era. In addition, Mr. Tomoyasu Hotei used the company's switching system LOOPER in the early 90's. ... apparently ...
If I find a manual or get a peek inside I will post additional information. I found this option, the mk2 exchange module in the gallery below. This would be nice to hook it up to a stereo tube amp. A long cable can send the controller front stage and back stage you have your rack.
