just picked up tenor madness by sonny rollins and the earth is not a cold dead place by explosions in the sky on vinyl. i'm really glad to be listening to these today on the turntable while i do some internet work and equally glad that i am no longer listening to the sounds of water leaking into my...

I recorded a little ditty today with the uber-ribbon. I just riffed around on my Hammond A-100 and Leslie 145. I had the mic about a foot away from the top rotor and I had the organ up pretty loud, lots of low drawbar, Leslie on full blast. Please excuse the bad riffing, but I think it sounds pretty...

Thanks for the link. Look forward to trying it out.

I ship stuff a lot of gear at work and we use UPS. My rule is just make sure nothing moves when you shake it. 2-3 inches around of bubbles if possible, and fill in the rest with peanuts, old newspapers, etc. To me, the extra weight of some packing materials may cost a little more to ship, but it see...

I like the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter, but the one I used to have was a bit noisy. It was pretty old and beat when I got it, so I'm sure a good cleaning-out or some basic troubleshooting would have eliminated it. I have a Keeley two-knob now, and I like it for a lot of stuff. The 4-knob is prett...

I'm pretty sure I played a Pathfinder a couple weeks ago and was surprised at how good it sounded. The overdrive or distortion or whatever didn't do much for me, but the clean was great. It's a little vox with tremolo and overdrive, right? I would love to see trem and verb in the ac4 but i understan...

Vox AC4TV I'm interested to hear your thoughts on that little fella. I've been thinking a lot lately about snagging a small low-watt amp like that. I really like it so far. I was surprised at how loud the 4-watt setting really is. It sounds great with my G&L ASAT semi-hollow, and my LP. It cleans u...

Jordan Rudess has a hexagonal sequencer that does some pretty cool things, but it's an iphone app so it doesn't really lend itself to multiple users.

also, I just discovered the phono input on my Hammond A100. So it's like having a new Leslie 145 for, well, pretty much anything.

Got mine Friday! Thanks! I'm going to try it out some this week on Leslie and a little guitar amp.

YES. I like to plug it into a PA at work when people ask if the PA is good for singing. After a bar or two of tuned "ooohs" they usually have had enough.

Man, I think your Bach Prelude sounds awesome. I remember playing that in college.

Off-topic, but you ever play any Villa-Lobos?

The second one looks like both a 312 clone and a 1176 compressor built into one unit. I haven't seen a 312 before, there are pics of BAE 312 modules online, but I don't know how close they are to the actual ones, though they do look cool. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can find one on www.recordin...

A live recording (board mix) of George Porter, Jr., Marco Benevento, Skerik and Johnny Vidakovich. From NOLA Jazz Fest 2009 at the Maple Leaf. SO GOOD.

I'm just ready for more base. SO worth it.
