73% through building a Jeff Hedback designed room, one of two. It's been a journey but man, he's something special and great to work with. Trace Audio strips for Redco patchbays. Shout out to traceaudio Ben for the effort. Yards of Guilford of Maine fabric. Getting excited about this new setup. What color did you choose? I went with Smooth for the ceiling absorbers and 2372 for the walls, both from their Framework family. |

@bat if you had any interest/time in discussing design/build, that would be great!

After a long weighing I put in on an order on an IGS Rubber Bands stereo pultec eq for my mix bus chain. Waiting eagerly for it. Hopefully a great match to my vari mu comp.

I bought one, used, a few months ago. It's very solid feeling with extremely now noise! I've been testing it only on single tracks. The bottom end is huge -- it doesn't take much  . Being able to dip at 240 while boosting the lows is really useful. I'll try it on a sparse mix this weekend. |

There are not too many out there so its hard to get any solid reviews on it. I bought it on the basis of that I have a couple of their other units which have turned out to be outstanding. Their build quality is top notch and the sound has been all I hoped for in the ones I have. This was also recommended to me when I was looking for a stereo pultec. |

Are you guys talking about the 19" rack version, or the 500 series version? plinker Jim, which one do you have? |

Got a second B67-269. I think they will see a lot of use. Also bought Iconica Ensembles. I like the way it works for string mockups. Quick and sounds good. I have a ton of string libraries but this is the easiest.

I have the 500 series -- I forgot them even made the with-tube rack version. The rack version doesn't seem to come-up used. |

The rack version doesn't seem to come-up used. Ok, have to check if all other components are the same. I would think so. Yeah I once asked igor about how many he have made of the compressors i have, and it wasn't too many, so i think all the 19” units are in pretty small numbers out there |

I'm getting an Al.so Dynax 2 compressor, a very french compressor. Negative ratios available, this thing is great for modern electronic music. Can't wait...
This thing is mental. And I might get into Elysia stuff after that, as I see one of their comp also offer negative ratios. Plus they have the frequency dependant transient shaper, the Nvelope. It seems so unique.
Got 2x Aclam Fuzz pedal The Mocker - Beatles Vox UL730 distortion circuit faithful recreation.
Got 2x Aclam Dr. Robert Amp in a pedal - Beatles Vox UL730 faithful recreation.
Got 1x Suhr Discovery - a midified analog BBD pedal (I need two).
Got 1x TK Mini Blender - a wet/dry module, quite handy utility.
Got 1x Syntecno MK3 that needs repair - 90's 303 analog clone in a rack. It has a great sound, great features and is entirely MIDI controllable.

1) I swapped my TLM67 out for a TLM49. Seems a lot of people would question that decision but the TLM49 is 1000% a better match for my particular voice than the TLM67 ever was. I absolutely love it. 2) Added an AEA RPQ2 to my rack for my piano ribbon mics. Another total game changer for this application and I really wish I had done it sooner. 3) I thought I was done buying gear after that but these two guitars popped up locally for $500 EACH, with cases. That's a Gibson J-35 and a J-15, respectively. Not likely to ever find a better deal on guitars than that!!  |

SCORE SCORE SCORE and SCORE!!! Congrats! Hahaha.. thanks!! That J-15 in particular is a fantastic guitar and holds its own with any typical J-45 I've ever played. I'd say they're an incredible value even at current going rates. |

I picked up an Ox Box from Reverb a couple weeks ago. I finally got all the cables made and the room rearranged so I could get the guitar amps closer to my chair instead of across the room. I spent some time playing through it today. I've never had the balls to dime my Twin Reverb and be in the same room with it. I was surprised just how nasty it can be when turned up all the way. That sucker sprouted fangs and was taking no prisoners. It sounded like a million bucks in headphones. After playing almost exclusively through modelers for the last 15 years or so it's going to take some time for me to get used to playing through an amp again. It's a whole different feel. And yes, the normal channel on the Twin has considerably more gain than the reverb channel. I don't like spring reverbs in guitar amps anyway. Too boingy.

I picked up a slightly used Pearlman TM-1 (gray paint with an EF80 tube). Definitely liking the vibe so far.
