Perfect for any Tom Weights covers then. We'll be Weight Watching now. On a Downtown train. Chris

I got my Audix Club Kit in today. Mine came with a sticker and 2 drum dots instead of a mug. I also received an Eastman E2OM acoustic guitar. I’ve been thinking about an OM-sized acoustic for a while, and read some good things out this model. I got the sticker, no dots, must've run out of mugs! Just ordered a pair of Tonelux MP5A mic pres to go with my Equalux EQ. Tonelux pres came in, really digging that tilt eq in the grab and go tracking lunchbox,

By the way, I recieved the Audioscape Opto the other day which must have been sent out lickity-split as I got it like four days shipped from Florida to Switzerland. I love it and couldn't be happier. I forgot about the little bonus in the box...it came in handy today!

Bought (6) CAPI BT50’s at a great price…now I have 8! Whenever they are back in stock I’d like to build a LC25 and a LC40 to finish out a 10 space rack

Vintage Ikea that I bought off Jim Williams about 12 years ago. I rolled the Mullard that he had in it with a Telefunken Diamond Bottom ECC803 that I was fortunate to have inherited from Bill Putnam Sr upon his passing in 1989. People really enjoy eating over here at the house and to a person always comment on how 3D it looks! The Mullard exhibits more color and the lavender tone is a bit more intense, but I prefer the Telefunken texture.

So I bought an affordable Cloud CX355. It's modified with a faster release, HP in the sidechain, and recapped.
I'm trying to get things loud in the studio. I'm 99% OTB so I need loads of peripherals. Beat driven electronic music ; loud. Louder than Suno AI he.
The CX355 is popular in live settings I believe. To anybody that has used one, is it total utter rubbish haha ?

They are good ! Effortless ! And the possibility to balance clipper vs limiter via "rich density" is excellent. 380 euros for two units, it's hard to beat.
I like the 720 sound more than the 723 sound. I think they use a different VCA chips. At some point I'd like to try the 700 too, which is said to be less transparent than the 720 and 723.
Eric, do you have an opinion on the Orban Optimod 8100a ?

Just ordered a Buzz Audio Zodiak Tilt equalizer (version with discrete opamps and the Lundahl transformers)! Waited to make sure I'd survive tax season to buy it :-)

I bought another AML 5003D (used). I had one - well, I actually had a pair at one time, but sold one to a friend along time ago. I asked him a couple years ago if he'd sell it back to me and he said "no way!". But I've found it's handy to have pair's of 500 preamps. These have really nice Carnhill transformers and if you drive them they really get some cool harmonics. I used the one I had for vocals a lot. The only downside is that I removed a preamp from my rack. Well, I actually have 2 empty slots in one of the racks, but I told myself I would sell one to buy the second 5003D. But the only "singles" I have right now are a Hairball Gold, a Copper (but I have 2 others) or a Hairball Bronze (and I really like what it does on outside kick). So I don't really want to part with any of those. But the gold is removed at the moment. I think I already have 19 preamps (now 20) and I only have 16 input channels so I probably don't really need it right?

Nick from Dirty Haggard Pedals is gonna increase prices soon and it's easy to see why - these are some of the lowest noise utilitarian pedals out there at a crazy good price (quite a few below $100). He makes a lot of things, but I like his EQs and boosts a lot. They've been super useful when you have things very close but just want the source to be exactly dead on in a mix-context. I just bought a few. www.dirtyhaggard.com/shop

Eric, do you have an opinion on the Orban Optimod 8100a ? You have to understand the Optimod was not designed as a tracking or buss comp, it is very good at its purpose squeezing the single and boosting HF for analog broadcast. Un modded, not a great piece, modded, well Orban was underrated till everyone figured out the EQ’s were great and made cheaper DBX versions, then Harman did what Harman do best, they killed a company.

Ordered a Trident Deca Dent 10 space rack direct from them. On sale for $450, free shipping and no tax. Nice deal I think! I needed something for the CAPI BT50’s I bought last week

Whoops. Bought this Champagne Sparkle Jet. Always wanted one, loved that this one has chrome and not gold hardware. Sounds great too! But I do need to part with a guitar or three to really justify it

But I do need to part with a guitar or three to really justify it Sean I’m not sure if it’s the Neil Finn in me or the fact that I had a friend in high school who had a Chet Atkins and the matching bass that is Jealous. And I can’t even play !
