Cool, I'll try to get a few more up next week. Loads of this gear have already left the nest, including the 2 pieces you are asking about haha
The Art was actually the Pro MPA II, but I have used the Limiter as well. They are solid utility units but I found that I prefer the way cheaper Aphex offerings when it comes to semi-transparent pres and comps/limiters. The 106/108 do excellent parallel compression and cassette front end tracking for a fraction of the cost. All real comp duties are handled by a stereo pair of Tweakers now. I do want to say that the aphex's do have their downsides...wall wart power supply (24v AC so pretty oddball) and no on/off so I don't like having them on master switches.
The RE-150 was mainly used as an aux for the mt100 or my mackie vlz. Eventually I realized it only really excels, for me, on guitar which I don't really play anymore. The preamp on it made it the best sounding guitar delay to my ears, but I didn't love it for drums or dirty mono synths so I sold it help fund my Orville.
As chance would have it, I just reclaimed ownership of the above mentioned MT3X, and have it set up for some beat tapes with a KP3+ on it's aux sends.
