Primarilly for '82 Visions
The fuel petcocks for the '82 and '83 Yamaha Visions are different. Only about half of the supplied parts fit my '83. They might all go into the '82 version. Fortunately the main seals in the valve are the same and this solved my leaking problem.

Pedaltrain Volto power supply
This thing is awesome used underneath a Pedaltrain Nano board. I have the Mono Tick on my case so it's a simple pull it out, drop it on the floor, plug in and play. Perfect for jams or small gigs when you're not sure where the power is. I'm running a Korg micro black tuner, MP Royal Blue overdrive, and a Zendrive, which all get used intermittently (although I have the Royal Blue on about 30% of the time) along with a MP Deep Blue Delay and Hall of Fame reverb (both decent consumption digital pedals) that are always on. I've done gigs where I left it on for 5 hours (when there's breaks for speeches and such) and always had at least one bar left. From a normal 3 hour gig it recharges in about half an hour. If I just play half an hour at a jam, it recharges in a few minutes.
Quiet smooth power that you don't have to think about. What could be better?

Soundcraft Expression 2 Mixing Board
Have been using this for a couple of years. Forgot to submit a review. Right after I bought this, they came out with the Impact which has scribble strips, the only thing lacking in this board. For my purposes I usually don't need more than the top layer and I have the walk in music and FX returns mirrored on the top layer as well. So board tape works fine. I still have to assign channel names for use with the remote iOS app and an iPad. Which is much easier to do in the iPad than the tiny touch screen. I'll often set all that up using the off-line Windows app and move it to the board on a thumb drive. That app just reflects the board and isn't all that great but lets you set things up ahead of time.
The board sounds fantastic. This was my first digital board, replacing an Allen & Heath GL24. With the master controls across the top and the sends on fader, I can get to things faster than the sea of tiny buttons on an analog board. Not to mention all the extra dynamics and FX processing. I don't really miss the full parametric eq on the top and bottom bands since those are usually for cutting mud or adding a little air. The two full parametric mid bands are enough. I like having instant access to all four eqs instead of extra button presses and which band am I on like the X32/M32. The faderglow makes it easy to tell what they are set to. The yellow for aux/monitor sends is visible outdoors which helps keep you from moving the wrong thing.
Overall, very happy with this board.
