Let us know how you like them please  ! Here I got a second Suhr Discovery BBD analog delay pedal. These are very cool, entirely midi programmable delays that are sold at a sensible price when found second hand. Very happy to finally have a stereo pair. They handle line signals just fine, they are at home in a mixing rig. More auxes ! |

I ordered a used Stam SA-4000 MkII-5 SSL style buss compressor from Reverb. I tried to get one from Stam last year but the delays put me off. I got it for a little less that retail so I feel good about it. My 500 rack will be full now and I have to stop buying hardware until I sell something. I still have space for microphones though. |

  I love this thing! It was such a quirky purchase. I have a SA-1178+ Iron on the way, I don't 'need' this. But I am soooo glad I grabbed it! The tubes are not used for the compression (lol) and I knew that going in. It's kinda like a full plate voltage (non-starved) fully variable tube saturation dial for what Aphex would call Tubessence(R). It's incredibly flexible with the dual mono or linkable stereo channels, sidechain inserts for each channel, sidechain monitoring, the separate subsequent limiter that you can drive into with the output, the VU monitoring of GR, output or even Tube Drive, the contour sidechain profile, etc. Note I didn't mention Over Easy kneezy as a luverly feature? Ooof that thing is not pleasant to me from the tiny bit of work I've done with it so far. Maybe some pads would be good with it. But Over Easy is like Over Squeasy imo so far. Very smeary. Hopefully lots to learn there. The program dependent Auto attack and release though are pretty sweet and sometimes I like them better than I can dial in with the manual A/R. Will be fun! |

Just bought a Vanguard V13 tube mic. I sure have an addiction... Jane's? I'm addicted to seaweed. I need to seek kelp. Chris |

ontravelling I'd also be keen on what you think of them. I have an original unit and just adore it. Bringing out that bile-yellow box into the room warms my heart! Glad to see that you have two channels, curious to see if you find any utility for mid side. That's been a productive exploration so far over here.

Airfield Audio Liminator 2 arrived today. A beautiful sounding, 3 ru, heavyweight beast of a compressor. Far more substantial physically than I expected based on pictures. Racked it, ran some tracks today and am really impressed. So far the Sowters are my favorites for today’s material. Slightly more weight than the clean Jensens but the Sowters also seem to sweeten the highs. ![]()  Also, placed an order for a Schoeps V4U. I have had to contact my cc company as there is no shipping information after 8 days, seller is unresponsive. I bought the Schoeps via Sweetwater Gear Exchange, also have zero response from them. Edit: Sweetwater Gear Exchange finally responded, was able to reach the seller and, I am relieved to hear that my V4U is shipping. |

This thread has been pretty quiet lately, so I'll make a little noise. I picked up the Trinnov NOVA. I've used ARC and Sonarworks, and this is definately giving superior results, but of course at a more expensive price. Its also nice to have it correct all audio coming through the computer ("systemwide") that actually works. I send an ADAT digital out from a MOTU 16a into the Trinnov, and then the Trinnov into the active monitors. Works well.
Digging it as well, but the software needs some attention. No matter what I boot up on my system first, Nova or Mac Studio, the damn software never can "find" the Nova. I have to restart the app two or three times, then when it finally finds the Nova I have to unmute it, then tap the damn mouse button 60 times to get it to zero. I hope they fix that shit in a future release. Love what it does otherwise. And cool to hear Vance Powell talk about it recently on the Recording Rockstars podcast. |

In the process of getting my Hammond C3 fired up I learned about all the things wrong with my Leslie, so I order a new crossover, driver, and bass speaker. Nothing in my Leslie was original, it didn't even the right ohms speakers, so hopefully it'll sound better back to stock spec

I haven't had any issues yet, but I'm on a PC running Win 10. I do wish they'd implement a mouse drag event for the volume on their application's monitor page. Weird that you have to click up/down arrows to increase/decrease volume output. I guess they are trying to sell you their external controller. |

Chris, your wit is tireless. Please, don't encourage him! True. SO true. Partly as I'm waiting for the new tires to arrive. Here at the Shop. Tucker Tires. (Real place BTW) Near Skid Row. And when you're "Tuckered". You're tired. I'll just give things a rest then. ("Under Pressure" is playing overhead) Eric and AB will have to go on... A Titanic joke rotation now. Chris P.S. Great news on my (theoretically) one day Surgery this Monday... My Surgeon just got REINSTATED!! (All charges dismissed) |

Our 2 top local Laguna Beach clubs... Both have mint B3's/Leslie set ups. Steve Wood (co-founder Honk/was Kenny Loggins' Musical Director) Has done B3 Leads/Solos on stuff like "Little Wing" and other Classic Rock tunes. Instead of Lead Guitar (Gasp!) Amazing player/Singer. Chris |

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'd love to own a real Hammond. Well first and foremost I'd love to own a studio that could easily accommodate one! I brought the RT3 with me from Phoenix to Tennessee. There was no way I was leaving it there when we moved. Also brought 2 Leslies with it. A 145 and a modified 46W which is the same size as a 147 but less power. I sold the 145 but inherited a 760. Of those remaining Leslies the 760 is louder and sounds better on guitar but the old 46W sounds marvelous on the Hammond. Tube grit for days. Unfortunately I don't have room for both Leslies in my little studio so the 46W lives in the living room and the 760 does double duty. My studio doesn't accommodate one either. I almost had to grease it to get it through the door. I keep it on moving dollies so I can scoot it around if I need to. The bass pedals are out in the shed. No space for them in the studio. The RT3 is the theater version of the C3. It has the full AOR 32 note set of bass pedals unlike the B3 and C3 which have 25. The RT3 is larger than the B3 and C3 due to the extra bass pedals. It also has a larger tone generator to make the additional bass pedal sounds. The RT3 with the bass pedals weighs in at 525 pounds. Quite the behemoth. It has a 32 foot bass stop that will rattle the walls for a block in every direction. Awesome! It will do everything a B3 and C3 or A100 will do and then some. I got a smokin deal on it. I bought it in 2001 for $500 and everything works. I made a space for it in my studio but it really is too big for it. I have had to move it by myself more than once. I have the appropriate set of Roll dollies for it but it's still massive even without the pedals. The pedals probably weigh 80 to 100 pounds all by themselves. It's tight, but I got it in there. In this pic it's a guitar stand and that's what it gets used for most of the time but when I need an organ track there's nothing like it. I figured that if it's good enough for Abbey Road, it's good enough for me. i.postimg.cc/qvM53kzr/Studio-Front-Wall.jpg |

There’s an option to boot at the last saved volume! Yes, but if I change that and the auto mute then save, it doesn't save it in the preset. I can change to another preset and come back and it's back to Recall Volume and Auto Mute. It's f-ing annoying as all get out. |
