What's the latest gear you've acquired?

I scored a pair of Aphex 651s on reputation alone. Looking forward to putting them to work.

I sold my old monitors and 1 hour later I was buying a couple of Genelec 8040BPM...what a difference!

Adding comps:

We got this about a month ago on a kind of a semi/permanent loan basis.
The owner has gone to live in Chile and needed a home for it so we obliged .
Needs a good tune but it will be less 'funky' than the other upright that resides in the house.

Sound level meter.

Not a high end meter ($50) but useful for checking room locations for positioning ambient drum mics for the best low end response.

Of course one could walk around and just use their ears but hey!

Wired up these pups. Sound pretty righteous. 111C's.

1:1 and 4:1 switch. If I slam them with a 1073 things get pretty fierce. Lots of color options. From transparent to over the top aggressiveness.

Wow, Jesse, that's cool. I've seen that in many of the studios I happen into lately, so it must be a good piece.

I have the plug, but it's too confusing for me to remember what each knob actually does if I haven't used it for a long time. I remember it worked nicely for surgical EQ, when I could figure it out. Somehow I think Elysia could have done a better layout.

ahh.. thanks Jesse, they looked similar. That ain't cheap. Is this your main mastering compressor now? I'm curious why you chose this one over some others?

Just added channels 65-80 AD/DA. Avid 16X16. Later this year or early next will be channels 81-96. Then I'm checking myself into rehab and trying to quit. Somehow, I can't seem to stop putting hardware into my PT inserts. Every piece of outboard I own - aside from the tracking rack - will be normaled into it's associated PT i/o.  It's oh so fun, but financially painful. Decided to quit screwing around with my bay and wire it all the way to 96 i/o. That cost a couple thousand (more) in wire but it will be ready for 96 i/o - just plug stuff in..... Bays are expensive, but it will be done forever now. I hope.....

I bought one if those Thalia capos. It is engineered brilliantly, is gosh darn beautiful, and most importantly it works perfectly to allow any and all of my guitars to maintain their tune while clamped securely to their necks (thanks to the set of different interchangeable radius inserts). They cost lots more than any other capo I have ever seen or owned, but what the hell, in this case you get what you pay for. I bought the optional teflon inserts for the extra $8°°. I would have been fine without them. The hard and soft rubber inserts that come with it work great.

There's nothing quite like a New Guitar Day.  Feels a bit like a first date.

So far so good, with the PRS SE.  I cleaned off the other guy's dirt, put on a couple of my own scratches (woops) already.  New output jack, clean and lube electronics, new strings and intonation.

I think the only thing this is going to need is new pickpus, which was expected going in.  These have too much bite and are too flat in the mids, think I'm probably going to go with some Burstbuckers, for that more vintage sound.  Possibly Seymour Duncan or Bare Knuckle instead.

Royal Blue quilt top looks quite fetching in person, it grows on you.

Still need to buy a whammy bar, looking forward to that.

Neck is SUPER playable.  Fret access, fingerboard space is outrageous, best guitar I've ever had in that regard.  Which was my main concern going in.  Also was looking at Ibazez RG and RGA.  That will come later, with some EMGs or Dimarzios, for heavier sounds.

So for now my guitar flu can calm down for a minute.  It was out of control until I picked something out.  It's been just a little less than a year since I got a new electric guitar.  Sometimes it just hits you like that.
