An old pair of Sigma NY preamps, (modded Ampex), 4 channels of UTC h100X trannies with a mono out, which equals 10 transformers. WOO HOO!
Harumph!

Micromoog!

Got it as a trade for engineering time. I can't wait to start running tracks through the filter.

It needs a blast of Deoxit on some of the pots and the ribbon controller isn't working. Otherwise it's all good.

I hope you dont have one of the models affected by the "black death". The rotting foam that napalms the PCB and al the sliders. My Realistic/Moog MG1 had that and it required a lot of cleaning and a few new pots/sliders. Either way, I love getting gear in exchange for studio time. I have a guitar and a few other items I got that way.

No foam, rotting or otherwise, on the Micromoog. The Micro is very cool for a single VCO synth--very nice sound, good modulation options, etc.

To mr. McKinnon: should you need a noise IC, let me know. I have a spare.

Thanks for the offer. The noise IC works just fine. In fact the guy who gave me the synth got it for $200 because the noise knob was turned up all the way leading the seller to believe it was broken.

2 UREI 1176 compressors. REV H.

They sound MONEY. Delish. Crankin'. Forget the emulations.

I am afraid this has opened the floodgates to more gear buying.

Oh my...
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

I just got a new Boss RT-20 Rotary Assembly and Pigtronix Philosopher King compressor, sustainer, distortion and polyphonic amplitude synthesizer. The Philosopher King is cool but the RT-20 just rocks my world. I have just never liked modulation type effects on guitar until now. This thing just takes me to another place every time I kick it in. It does the speed up/slow down thing like a real Leslie cabinet.

wow I will have to check out that Boss guy.
I have always liked the idea of modulation effects but the periodicity of them always bugs the prefectionist in me. I want it beat synced! My solution was to destroy the obvious periodicity by running two different modulation effects. Like a chorus and a flanger, and set them very close but not too close. Then turn the effect depth down on each one individually so that it isnt very heavy. Combining them like this gives me the whoosh without the obvious "top" and bottom that you get with one.
Just a little sidebar there.
Yeah.
Right there.

+1

I love that thing. It's great fun on vocals also.
