Re: Mic pre in pedal form?

The jamman is decent, so is the EH 12AY7 if you can get it not to hum.

Last year I did a variation on the Hampton jfet, I can't find any completed pics on my phone buy here's a couple of in progress

Re: Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?

If you service it yourself, what's your time worth?
What's a good tech's time worth for the same service?
Is a good tech available?
What's the return on investment?

There's an ancillary to "good, fast, cheap: pick 2" in there.

Re: rotating speaker alternative

I did a thing a few years ago with a turntable between the speaker and the mic. On the turntable was a flat wall, so that as the turntable spun it would be blocking or not. Later I made more of a baffle, like a bundle of square wooden tubes. You could put multiple mics around it for stereo and beyo...

I got a Martin Dread jr. for desk guitar to replace the LX1 I've been using. The LX1 is mostly fine, but the dread jr has electric out and a bit more bass and fuller sound.
I'd be interested to hear some comparison clips!

Re: For themaya's is recording sessions straight thru,

I've been working on something like this off and on this year. I did all the edits and general utility type stuff in a new file version of the master take, as it helped make sure everything would flow properly and have a general set of sounds appropriate for this specific project. But as I work more...

Bandcamp sold, again

Twice in a year and a half, I wonder what this might bode. Their bandcamp Friday's have seemed to be one of the few good things for small acts in the streaming oriented present

These are great. Nick's version made me think the Lexx theme (about 30 seconds in) https://youtu.be/Vo6ebIy4COw?si=zk1XmA5dmNpo3aIR

Re: Electro-Voice 641- got one? What do you think of it?

The E/V literature says it's essentially the same as the 634a. Given that the 635 and 631 are the same basic mic, the similar model numbers make me think these are probably basically the same as well, just in a different form factor. I finally got a little burned out on my e/v collection last year, ...

Re: Egnater Rebel 20 let out the magic smoke !

It's happening to resistors as well - the new line of vishay 1 watt resistors are the same size as 1/4 watt resistors, the 3 watters from the same line aren't much bigger. I don't usually have trouble fitting resistors since they are 99.9% "axial" lead so you can stretch them out a bit -- but yes, ...
