Used the Tannoys for years. Just had to move them out for Mackie powereds, because one of the speakers went down on the Tannoys (a $200 replacement speaker or a $500 jump to active monitoring, which we decided to pull the trigger on).

Those cocktail drums look sweet!

I just bought a D A M fuzz pedal for more money than that guy paid for his Deluxe Reverb and 2 guitars (see post on previous page). Am I an idiot?

No. That guy is just a genius.

Norelco E3534A Reel To Reel tape recorder. Bought it a couple months ago. Here's the demo vid I put up on YT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfLokRMJscA

Just won a Trademark 10 on Evilbog (US$100 shipped); could be cool, even if I did overpay.

Did you have the old standard M-Tron?
How do you like the Pro version?

Picked up a little gem of an organ today:

Model L-112, similar to the M-100 series without the scanner vibrato. Now all I need is a Leslie...

Yama G100B 212 Gen I for $65 off of Craig's List. Slapped a fresh pair of Celestion G12 Vinatge 30's in it, cleaned the pots and it sounds smoother than my JC-120 and loves my first-gen Rat pedal in front of my Junior.

Oh, and the guy had a dbx1046, too. I gave him $35 for that; I'll use it for live gig recording on ????? (I'm thinking cheap snare drum played by drummer that had too much cheap whiskey and maybe to grab a few board feeds (vox) just to have).

Next up: treating a 1,500+ sq ft all-in-one room for tracking and as a control room (did you miss the all-in-one-part?) :shock:

edit: I guess that would count as an acquisition: a former union hall with a 1,500+ sq-ft main room 38'x42'x9' (drop ceiling is at 9'; 4-inches of insulation on top of that and then another 2' to the original tin ceiling). The other part of the building has been converted into a huge apartment (the wife gets that, so no control room until next spring :roll: ). But it was an electrician's union hall for awhile; I have four different electrical circuits in the main room each paired with separate grounds and 4-way outlets/boxes every four feet on alternating circuits and a very large built in power conditioner IN the breaker box with a knob on it labeled "hum." Still investigating.

Won an auction today for a Langevin AM1A mixer, modded for direct outs, pads, and phantom power. I'm hoping it will be versatile enough to use as my entire front end at home.

Yes, I had the old M-Tron version for years. Bought it as soon as it was released. Needed to upgrade to run the mellotron sounds on OSX Lion so I made the jump. I like it. Way tweakable. Seems much more stable to me running in stand alone mode. If you have the old one it seems like it is worth the upgrade. Also, tons of new sound presets.
