Recently bought a Peluso P-28, i'm really enjoying it. It sits just right when an LDC seems a little too slow and SDCs seem almost too detailed.

Got a wah for Christmas, it's so cool! it's a little AMT japanese girl. Super fun!
Almost forgot, another DBX 560a. Now my pair of a-designs reds can be a pair with compression.

Also have a wasaphone mic and another fuzz pedal on the way.

Probably won't be getting much gear in the new year... Maybe a tiny modular synth next year?

Rocktron Tri-wah; I want it for bass, but just used it on guitar and liked it.

Rocktron Zombie Rectified Distortion; pretty damn cool, flexible and can get really extreme, the symmetrical adjust is fun.

Foam earpads for my Sennheiser 433's, a fave set of open ears (I have two sets, actually)

A 6-pack of .10 Ernie Ball's, because I never change strings, only replace 'em.

After years of looking I finally found a Harmony H165 mahogany acoustic. From what info I can find I think it's mid 50's. Found it on craigslist but it turns out the seller is a friend of mine. Got it for a song but it's going to need a bunch of work. I'm still pretty stoked though.

Congrat's on this. Super great and fun find.

I bet that's got some mojo. Good luck with it.

I recently picked up a Focusrite Claret 8 Thunderbolt interface for my live sampler-rig. Really really fast audio i/o???the latency is virtually gone in my soft-synth performance. Can multi-track record a show while triggering synths / samples all at once.

Also... tonight is my last night on earth as a non-Moog owner. Minimoog Voyager arrives tomorrow.

Might be able to get rid of it by just pushing it a bunch of times in a row. Has worked for me in the past.

Matched pair of EL-8X Distressors. Grabbed a reissue Epiphone Wilshire for $100 that I like...don't love...don't know if it's worth upgrading the mediocre pickups because that would cost twice what I paid for the guitar...so I'll probably sell or trade it for something I could really use

Finally back from the shop. It sounds amazing and plays reasonably well but there is likely still a neck reset in its future -

There are numerous easy DIY mods for those 3630's if you are interested in that kind of stuff...

Yup I've looked in to a little bit but haven't had time to tinker. I didn't want to disable the gates on all of them. Any recommendations for what's worthwhile? I didn't buy these with the hopes of fidelity at all but to replace a couple pedal compressors and add a gate/compressor to the end of my Sherman Filterbank 2.

Some "Alice" brand 12-string packs to Nashville-tune a cheap Washburn acoustic - about US$4 each on the E-bog ...
