Yeah, I'm waiting for it show up. I was looking for a pedal for my fiancee and the video clip on Pro Guitar Shop is Dinosaur Jr. "Feel the Pain" and she said "mine!"

MRL calibration tape - for proper tape calibration

Yamaha KX-W332 cassette deck. I have had some people asking to transfer some cassettes to digital lately. Did some research on a good tape deck and the Yamaha KX-W332 has a nice natural sound. Not pinching the sound or rounding of the top or low end.

Arturia Spark.

What a device...
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Numark PT-01 portable/usb turntable, Numark ndx 400 CD player, and some new "dj" headphones. On the way-- Korg Kaossilator 2, the iRig Mix, and another iPod Touch for digital djing.

1981 Fender Bullet deluxe. It's a magnificent piece of crap.
Mine's just like this but with a rosewood fretboard and more dirt and damage.

On the way to me now is a Bogen MXM-A mic preamp/mixer circa 1966, that's been recapped and restored. Six channel summing mixer, with point to point wiring, input and output transformers, and lots of tubes. Once I get it, tubes will be replaced with Mullards and Amperex.

I already had me a AKG D310 what I find rather nice on guitar amps, useful on snare top ... Mine is A+.

I bought another what was rough but cheap - US$17 + postage.

Sold as "working", it's broke. :x

Notified the seller, he refunded me, including postage. Took the mic apart, I believe can fix it. 8)

Also just got two desk-top mic stands for to leave some mic's set up.

Finally, gotta USB/flashdrive turntable for my moms so she can load her vintage (is there any other kind?) 78's onto a USB drive and I can process 'em and burn CD's for her - it's a B-day gift as she turns 74 inna cuppla weeks.

Just picked up Waves JJP Analog Classics, CLA Classic Compressors, and Tune last night for $398 USD. They are having a huge sale during June and it was EXACTLY what I needed in order to get my MacBook Pro up and running as my full-time tracking/mixing/mastering computer. I've never used any form of auto-tune before in my life, but a client wants to do lots of mini tweaks on vocals so I needed to have something for the job. $99 (down from $400) seems like a steal, plus they threw in a $100 off voucher for the crazy bundle of the JJP/CLA stuff and I got that for $299 (regular $375 EACH!!!). Nutzo.

Bought a pair of the Hearos "high fidelity" ear plugs for use on stage and in rehearsal. I wasn't expecting a lot for $15 but they really do an excellent job for the stated purposes. I was standing right in front of a very loud drummer and I played bass through a Fender Twin cranked and the guitar player through a Fender Super Bassman cranked and everything was very intelligible without ringing/distortion in my ears. Highly recommended to anyone that plays out...or I suppose live sound engineers as well. I also used them to sleep and they were certainly better than regular ear plugs for this purpose.
