Another comp... they are a bit like Telecasters for me. Not easy to have just one or five or eleven .
Nice local deal - unused. TK BC1 2018 Anniversary version. This is the best version IMO.
Mastering Comp. Detent, Blend Knob, HPF, THD, Grab Function.
Stacking it with the AS G Stereo Comp and running it with 40%-50% blend is a nice combo.

The Phoenix DRSQ4s w ZenPro mod are here and racked up. Warren (ZP) and Robin (Phoenix) went above and beyond to get these to me quickly. Also racked up the new Sebatron Quad, and finally racked the Tapco spring reverb I got from sean . Not sure why the photo is cropped in the thumbnail...  |

Wow~ I am impressed as much by the fact you have space for it! Beautiful! The EMT takes up a pretty big chunk of space in our back room…and the Otari’s went to my house. I can’t decide if I want/need both. I need to get them calibrated and do some A/B testing |

In addition to the Soyuz 011 transformerless SDCs, put in a pre-order for the Moog Spectravox thing.
Was looking for a Moog String Filter for years but it's rare and we're in 2+ used car territories, pricing-wise, for some of this old coveted stuff. There are plenty of fixed filters on the market but I only have a Mother 32 (not going full Eurorack anytime soon). This integrates with that and is capable of a lot in a mix-context. It's a vocoder as well.

This new filter/synth is above and beyond what I was looking for. It's a vocoder as well. The Waldorf STVC has a pretty sweet vocoder. I ordered mine from the UK... $625 total. Not sure it covers the same territory but also might be worth a look. |

Just added a pair of WesAudio Beta76 comps, a CAPI Heider H2/FC526/BT50 channel strip, and an Acme MTP-66 preamp/DI—very happy with all of them so far! |

How do you like the CAPI strip so far? I haven't heard much about the H2 Heider and pretty curious, especially paired with the BT50. And what opamps did you get with your BT50? Thanks! |

How do you like the CAPI strip so far? I haven't heard much about the H2 Heider and pretty curious, especially paired with the BT50. And what opamps did you get with your BT50? Thanks! The Heider was a revelation! I had long since settle on the VP28 as my mic pre of choice (see pic) and expected this to sound similar but, hopefully, better in some way, but I didn’t expect it to sound this much better! It doesn’t sound dissimilar to the VP28, just much bigger—hefty lows and an extended but smoother top. Everything folks like about Neve and API combined, really. Reminds me of the Electrodyne 501. It’s funny—while I find the BT50 an absolutely necessary pairing with my VP28s, the Heider sounds much more finished to me right off the bat, so I don’t find myself reaching for the EQ as much. I’ve got CAPI 0252 opamps in everything. Attachments:

With such a low amount of gain as a mic pre, what sources does it do well on? Thanks for sharing! I’m mostly using it as a DI (which sounds really, really great, even on guitar!) I’ve used it as a mic pre a few times though and never found the gain to be lacking when paired with my tube mics or even my dynamics/ribbons on loud sources. Difficult to describe the sound… not dissimilar to my REDD.47s on top, but the low end is bigger/rounder without being muddy. For my synesthetic friends, if the REDD sounds silver to you like it does to me, the MTP-66 is more rose gold… |

Bought another Stewart World 2.1 for the live rig $150 used 1800w 5 amp draw at full output. They have one more will probably grab it because who can argue?

First foray into lunchbox territory: Wes Supercarrier II, a second hand 512c, 2x AML EZP1As, a Singular tubedrve and a Density all delivered today. Ferrofish Pulse arriving later, but I've just received a notification that the delivery of the cables to hook everything up is delayed till Monday, so can only admire them visually until then LOL SMH FML SNAFU etc.

Erm... Tuesday, super frustratingly!
But hooked everything up last night and I'm very happy. Have to say the AML EZP1As are built like the proverbial tanks (bought assembled because I am feeble of solder) and they sound astonishingly good. I ordered on Thursday afternoon and they were with me first thing Friday morning, as was the Density. Top customer service, and a highlight in a week of some properly solid purchases.

OK redoing monitor racks and have discovered in the last couple of months that I need DSP that is both impossible to change via bumping into it and easily change because a couple of local guys have favorite wedges but don’t carry power or processing, and offer 4in 8 out in one rack unit.
The BSS Soundweb, is great but you can’t quickly plug in a laptop or tablet with the App and go, you need to have a network switch…. So made a low ball offer on a Ashly Protea 2.24D, no front panel controls programmed either via RS232, MIDI or network. Just plug the tablet or laptop into the front RS232 jack.
It was thiss or replace the 10 space racks with 12 space, well 2 10’s fit in the back seat of the Tesla 12’s don’t 😳
Oh and because I’m sick of the crappy casters on most caster boards where the weight rating is based on the load spread out over 4 casters, instead of each wheel being rated for the entire load, 8 casters rated at 400lbs ea. and mounting some Furing Strips underneath clear of the casters to route 2 ratcheting straps so you can secure the load, why even a Union stage hand could, maybe it’s time to pitch a book idea “ Load In / Out For Dummies “😁

I bit on the warm d19 clones. Got a pair and my first impression is the handling noise with the hpf switch is loud (wouldn't be surprised of that's the same with the original).
Really have only had time to hear it on acoustic. Hoping in the next week or two I have a day I can try it on a cab against a few standard dynamics to compare.

Does furniture count? I think so...
Once I committed to the trio of SSL controllers, I commissioned a stand in Walnut.
My desk space has essentially disappeared, my monitor sweet spot and ARC calibration is gone, but that was expected and now I can start working on the new desk idea and racks for this small room.
Feels a bit more focused, if you catch my meaning.
