Well yep....people into high-end hi-fi often crack on about this. The components and internal copper wiring is virgin....and needs to be burned (i.e. you gotta send a high signal through it...for about 20 hours). I dont know the technical reasons why one should do this...but apparently it does improve the dynamic range/warmth of the cable/instrument.
When I first got the virus I set it on a arpegio hold for a couple of days into a muted mixer channel. Crazy I know....but I wanted to burn the internal components. Its weird...but whenever I used the virus I would turn it on 20 mins before using it (i guess ive spent too much time with old analogs)....but I kinda do it just so that in my mind atleast....the instrument is wamred up and ready to rock.
Strange but true...
But just to re-iterate.....always burn in new gear.
