Latest gear you've acquired.....
forgot these (photos from the seller, they're in a rack at my place now).
$60 each, if memory serves:
Ibanez DM1000 - 8-bit DDL from 1983. great character-loaded sound and does gapless hold.
Ibanez HD1000 - 8-bit DDL and pitch transposer from 1983. soupy echoes and ancient-sounding pitch transposition with gnarly wiggles around the edges.
back-lit LCD using a single filament bulb. ancient astronauts, man!

I sprang for the Sofiteque passive summing mixer. It's an 8 channel DIY kit. Easy peasy assembly. http://www.sofiteque.com/shop/pb8t-pass ... mixer-kit/
Having some routing issues at the moment. Channel 1 and 2 are not behaving as expected. They're supposed to be wired mono but they are returned hard panned L/R. Pat at Sofiteque is good about responding to emails, but we haven't quite solved the problem yet. It could certainly be user error ......

Another ART FX unit, two ART portable/battery-powered microphone phantom power sources, and a nice-nice EHX Big Muff, thanks to Tape Oppers...

Vuv,
You seem to have the worst luck with ebay microphone purchases! Are you keeping stats?

I think it's because I buy really old pieces, that are relatively cheap. Kinda like my women, as a matter of fact - ba-boom!
I really wanted a 664, tho' - I have a 664a and like it, and can't afford a 666, what are hell on the wallet - ba-boom!
This one looks good, except for the hinge screw being a replacement, but there's no signal at all.
And while it could just be the switch or sompin', to try and fix it would just give the seller a reason not to accept the return.
Lemme note, it was sold as "used", but the seller's stated policy is "no return", so Ebay made me open a case just to advise the seller of the problem.

Ebay's a tough one. I prefer the TOMB or one of the other sites I visit regularly for used gear purchases, if I'm not going to have the seller within "strangling distance."

Dumb-arse seller on the e-Bog tried to hostage my refund for me to pay return postage (on a very heavy mic). E-bay disagreed, gave me a refund w/out having to return it.
So I have a new (to me) non-functioning (for now) EV 664, as stated above.
Now I gotta figure how to fix it.
EDIT: I fixed it.

These things (EHX Bass Metaphors) get mixed reviews but I used it two nights ago atta audition into another guy's little 40 watt or so S/S Kustom bass amp.
This thing is like three preamp sections that you can use in parallel:
1. straight pre (gain only);
2. Distortion pre;
3. EQ pre.
So I started with the EQ section, added the straight-pre, and then put a touch of distortion on top (has its own switch) for leads.
It also has a master volume, and a compressor that's just on or off, but I gotta say, this thing really made a shite amp sound good, and made it very easy to play with a light touch, slap-n-pop, etc.
