2021: A Year in Gear

[Mike]

Nah I didn’t get the chance as really busy these days with day job family and pedal building

There are also a few out there on YouTube which do a good job even including vintage examples

At some point I will attempt to demo the guitar as is because it does sound glorious and the pickups are very special

[Thomas]

Now we have the Hurb demos back it seems only fitting that we get a Mike one!

[plopswagon]

And I’ve heard tale of some guy named dood? droog? Something like that, he used to make demos.

[BearBoy]

You’re thinking of Doug, Plops.

I've got all of the footage for a Fredric Effects demo in the chamber, so coming January.. 2023.

Nah, will be out at some point; it's just on my non-work Macbook and I don't have that with me.

I did actually did start to feel guilty about this. I posted it before we had heard if you had tested negative or not and thought, oh shit, he’s on his death bed and I’m razzing him about his video output!

I thoroughly endorse you razzing me on my deathbed in future; it's what I would've wanted

If you can think of a better way to listen to stereophonic recordings, I'd like to hear it

Bought an mij Geddy Lee jazz bass because
1: I always loved the specs
2: Was possibly going to wind up playing bass in a group but that fell through so now I’m just stuck with my dream bass, what a tragedy

Bought a line 6 M13 because
1: I only have 2 pedals and they’re both for dirt/drive
2: I’ve been wanting to try out all the other shit like delays, echoes, choruses,etc. but fuck buying a bunch of individual pedals and patch cables
3: you all seem happy with your line 6 m’s

Synths
Behringer 2600

How do you find the 2600? I've always wanted one and the Behringer one seem's to be a good version of it.

TC Electronic June-60

How do you find the pedal? Do you use it with just guitars? I'm considering using it with synths

[Thomas]

It’s really good but you need to have your boffin brain on to operate it. Hardly anything is on a switch but it has loads of options for creating sounds. Even thins like the other waveforms are all accessed via patch. Ironically I don’t think it comes with any patch cables lol. It’s a proper set of modules in a box. I had to watch a few videos on it to properly get to grips with it, as I’m far from a proper synth nut. Every time I use it I seem to find something else.

Sound wise it’s very similar to the Odyssey but obviously it has so much more capabilities.

I almost bought that June-60 in the classifieds about 5 times mainly to put together a mini synth board. Gutted I missed it now.

I've only used it on guitar so far! I really like it in a recording context, in a live/rehearsal context I'm not so sure. It's quite noisy so if you're combining it with any kind of dirt then you pretty much need a noise gate. There's also a noticeable volume boost when you switch it on, which I guess is maybe good/bad depending on what you're trying to achieve.

[lorez]

Thanks for the feedback both I think I might be buying the 2600 in the Jan sales and might look for at other stereo choruses as I want to pair it up with the Nymphes

Ad one last minute Realistic Concertmate (MOOG) MG-1, facebook marketplace score last night for $200. Needs the usual stuff but it works and sounds killer, I'm in love with it!

[riotshield]

Just realized that I did not sell or, more importantly, buy any musical equipment during the last year.

Instead, I invested in:
A cordless screwdriver
A cordless angle grinder
A new car (Ford Puma)
Kitchenaid mixer
Sofa and armchair
Living room carpet

What am I turning into?
(My son got me pyjamas and slippers for Christmas )

I need to get back into playing music before I turn 40 (in 4 months), thats my resolution for the new year.

Worst case scenario, I buy more old fart shit, but this time I also sell a ton of guitars and pedals to fund this
