New Rockville REQ42 Equalizer vs 1980s Radio Shack Equalizer

A father-and-son product review... [Update 2020: I often get negative comments about my son's comments during this video, but the entire reason for doing these videos in the first place was to get him interested in technology. It's not necessarily even a serious product review, and the interruptions are sort of a "comedy bit" in these older videos. This was 2 years ago, I didn't have ad revenue enabled. If you want the short serious review it's simple: Don't buy the Rockville!]....of the Rockville REQ42 and how it stacks up against the equalizer I bought 25 years ago, the Realistic model 31-2020A. My budget about was $60 in Amazon gift cards which left me with the choices of: (1) a Behringer FBQ800 for $70, (2) a Pyle PPEQ100 for $66, (3) a Rockville REQ 20 for $59, or (4) the Rockville REQ42 for $65. I have had good experience with Behringer however that one only went down to 60Hz on the bass side and didn't have extra inputs. Reviews on the Pyle indicated serious problems, in my opinion. Had never heard of Rockville, but it was designed in the USA and had the most features. As I say in the video I think it will get the job done for helping my outdoor speakers sound better. The drawback is build quality pales in comparison to my 1988 Radio Shack equalizer!
