I just ordered a CAPI VP28 kit with GAR2520's. I really like the idea of an API preamp with an output fader.

A cover for my Pro,Jr., to be un-used because I fixed the in-practice space Sunn TC50A, thought broken for 3 years and all I did was remove and re-seat the power tubes. :roll:

Awaiting receipt of a Toadworks Meat, Jr. to use as a clean boost on my pedal board, and a EHX Multiplexer because we are covering, "7 Nation Army".

Assuming I don't quit the band soon, of course, but I will have the pedals. :twisted:

Got the above pedals yesterday:

Meat, Jr. is a very nice variation on the DOD250, less distortion (almost the opposite of the MXR Dist+ variation) with a "Fat" switch - really takes my Pro,Jr. up a notch or 3 for rock.

Multiplexer rules! What a cool octave pedal, up and or down, and even the glitches are euphonic. I'm gonna have some fun with this, especially when it follows a drive or distortion pedal.

It's that time of year (scratching the itch with tax and bonus $$; working two jobs leaves little time to actually make music, but so what?)... I'm in the process of getting, or have got, the following new gear:

*EV 627C (thanks to a Tape-Opper!)-- In great condition and sounds nice as a blues harp mike. So far no feedback issues, which was a constant issue with the clone that has been my go-to

*Korg Kaossilator Pro+ -- Been waiting on this purchase for several years

*Roland VT-3-- This will be a lot of fun, both in the studio and live

*iRig Mix-- As a back-up for my current version; unfortunately, I built a whole DJ rig around its small size, before catching on to how incredibly noise-y it is. Now I'm kind of stuck with it, so I really hope the second one is a lot quieter than the first

*Chauvet Swarm 5FX-- A little something new in lighting, and this looks really cool for the nice price

Damn dude. I'm interested...
I've got a new page up for all the one and two string pickup options, including the 40 caliber:

I've been on a kind of insane UAD buying spree the last year or so. That stuff has pretty much turned around my outlook on plugins.

Got an ART TPS(original first version) for free. I already swapped the tube out but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it much as I have some better pres. I figured for free, spare preamps aren't bad to have around at least. I know there are mods for the TPS II but very little on the TPS. It looks pretty cool and was free so I'm happy.

I also have an original TPS. I really like it on stereo keys, plugging my S03 straight in.

The limiter is not too useful, but the other settings can act as tone-controls.

In that case I hope you also got a bucketful of lube!

Just got a slab of outboard from the radio station I work at because they're going digital, so have an arty pic of the gear set-up.
