You have heard the wrath, Luke!

Yes, the Zip drives are God-awful near magnetic pickups or mic's. Best advice - distance! If you live in a closet (and who in cities doesn't these days?) a heavy blanket over the 808, or even you and the mic (now that's intimate!) or a heavy partition wall to separate you and your 808 may help a bit?

I hate coming up to mine with a guitar strapped on - OUCH!
