rotating speaker alternative
Just had this thought. I'm sure this has been done, but I'm not aware of it... instead of using an expensive rotating speaker or a pedal emulation, you could get the same effect with a stationary speaker and a wireless mic. The wireless mic can be rotated by a motor in front of the speaker. Einstein...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I don't expect Shure preamps would sound bad . The preamps don't sound bad, they're just limited in gain range. As in, there's not actually a proper gain knob, just that front panel mix knob. There's a little switch almost hidden behind the Phoenix mic input that lets you choose line, mic, mic w/ p...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Just picked up a few of these, off Craigslist, they look brand new: Shure SCM 810 8-Channel Automixer https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/mixers/scm810 The market for those dried up when much better sounding automixing (Dan Dugan and the various clones since his patents expired) became ubiquitous ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Just picked up a few of these, off Craigslist, they look brand new: Shure SCM 810 8-Channel Automixer https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/mixers/scm810 It's meant for conferencing... you can plug up to 8 mics into it, and it uses a compander/limiter and gates to auto adjust the levels. The guy was ...

Re: can anyone identify this amp?
This is a good one, too, and his tone is pretty similar to the first guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcyjzha6Fbg

Re: can anyone identify this amp?
This guy's bezanjo is also the shezizzle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO6XMOA2HRo The playing is also great, but it doesn't have the killer tone Noor Baksh's has... sounds more straight acoustic, though it looks like there's a cord coming out going somewhere. Sure is a sausage party at that perf...

Re: can anyone identify this amp?
Just took my old bulbul tarang off the shelf and blew the dust off the case... it actually has more range than I remembered... one note shy of two octaves. And it does have working sharps/flats; I was misremembering, thinking it only had working white keys. So that should scratch the instrument itch...

Re: can anyone identify this amp?
Yeah, I noticed the car battery. I'd imagine the amp is pretty similar to a Pignose, but with its own mojo. And it definitely has mojo! Very tubey sound, regardless of the actual circuit. The Japanese Taishōgotos are pretty affordable but don't have as many keys as the Indian bulbul tarangs, like wh...

Re: can anyone identify this amp?
I think right below the red light on the top left is the brand name, but it never seems to be close and in focus enough to read. I know what you mean about Paint it Black... I listen to TONS of Indian music and don't get those associations with it, but I guess because this is an electric instrument ...

It's from a performance in Pakistan of a guy from Balochistan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMEimuN6s4M

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Just picked up a mid-60s US-made tube amp, a Gene Leis model 910. It's not the 910T, which has a built-in tremolo and seem to be more common, though these amps aren't at all common either way... there's hardly any info out there. Mine has one 12ax7 (CBS), a 6v6 (GE) and a 6x5 (GE). The speaker is th...

Re: My poor hears are getting old
What occurs to me as the best solution to compensate is to borrow an extra set of ears when needed. Spouse, kids, anyone whose opinion you trust and whose ears aren't shot from decades of music-making.

Re: Building a DIY plate
I wonder if a cymbal or a gong could be used, instead of a steel plate? I do this. Not exactly the same idea, but close. I've used two methods: 1) speaker in front of the gong, either a piezo on the gong or glue a tiny NIB magnet to the gong and use an electromagnetic pickup; and 2) Vibration speak...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
update on the transpositor strings: I love how these sound, but unfortunately, the low E has unraveled near the tuner... the wrap has come undone from the core. There's not enough length to retune it. I emailed the company to see if they'd send me a replacement. I haven't heard back yet. I epoxied t...
