1950's Patchbay desk from a school. I have new TT bays I'm retro fitting in the desk. It should be pretty sweet when done.

I just picked up an Audix OM2 off craigslist for $30. I was pleasantly surprised! Just used it on a scratch vocal track today but I thought it sounded good. A decent amount of clarity to it.. I suspect it would sound good on guitar cabs and possibly snare too.

I picked up this STC 4033 from the UK a couple months ago.

Reworked the bottom connector, made a stand for it.

Although there is fair amount of tramp metal on the magnets in and around the ribbon, I'm reluctant to clean it out and put a new ribbon in it, as the mic sounds really funky. File this under "Easy to make a mic sound new, hard to make it sound 50 years old"

About a month ago, I picked up a remote for my 3M M-23 2-track:

This week I picked up yet another Korg PME 40X board with three modules I didn't already have: the relatively uncommon Octave V, along with the Digital Delay and Distortion:

Just picked up a Danelectro "cool cat" heavy metal pedal. Btw we're not talking modern heavy metal, more like Winger/Def Leppard heavy metal. It sounds awesome.

I always wondered what one of these sounded like. They look cool.

I also just picked up a 635a, a CAD M179 and a Shure BG 4.1 offa the Evilbay, averaging US$50/each.

I still need, I think, another cheap ribbon.

And I want a large dynamic. I just lost a bid onna MD 431 ...
