Next the Bison 5x14 mapel 10 lug that was a college graduation present from my folks. That was Number 1 for a lot of years I played blues and rock gigs all over with that one. It even went to CBGB with me in '95 I think. Been in the room with this one. I’m not a drummer and usually don’t know what ...

Damn…61.

They’re awesome little amps. Agreed with everyone on the speaker change. That’s the only thing I’ve ever done with one, and it was for a Weber that broke up a little more gradually. There’s some interview or otherwise out there of Nels Cline extolling the Pro Jr. Another cool amp in a similar vein i...

Proud owner of a 1960’s Wurlitzer upright. You’re inspiring me to learn to tune the damn thing myself.

Giving this a listen this morning. I think it may be his best songwriting yet, and the sonics are great. Worth checking out.

Ok, the Benson is also awesome. The CA-70s is ridiculously versatile for the small number of knobs. Have you gone through the presets? It does like a megaphone thing, distortion, high end sparkle. Really crazy how versatile it is. I didn’t expect that. Just did a quick scroll through some presets o...

Ok, the Benson is also awesome.

Got the new Tape Op issue today and I don’t know if anyone here has used Mixwave plugins yet? In my search for a decent spring plugin I ran across the Mixwave Bensen Tall Bird and personally, I think it sounds fantastic. I’ve used it on guitars in every mix since I got it which I think was $49 on s...

DAV two-channel preamp. I’m pretty late to the party on these. They’re awesome. Clear but a little bit rounded up top.

Not sure if it’s been linked yet or not, but nothing beats The Greatest American Hero for a tv theme song. Used to play the 45 on repeat as a little kid, singing into a brush.

I’m currently in a small room with some treatment (but could use more). ORTF angled so it’s on a line with the bass drum and snare, as Drumsound describes. I get them in pretty tight - about 6’ high and on a vertical plane with the outer rim of the bass drum. They’re effectively cymbal mics, without...

Lovely remembrance, Tony. I only had the chance to meet and talk with Mark a few times, but knew instantly what a kind and generous person he was.

What did y’all hear this year that was great?

It feels like the synth department actually gets to make good shit at Behringer. Too bad everything else is just meh. I have heard something like the synth department is a personal project for Uli and it’s just subsidized by all the cheap mixers and PA gear; and the investment in heavily automated ...

Funny enough, I’m moving to Maine next summer and have been considering a 388. Longshot, but if it’s still available then, let’s talk!
