I bought an EMT 140. What’s wrong with me. But, they don’t come up for sale too often at a price I can afford so I thought “why not”
I also traded a Stratocaster for a Ford Ranger pick up truck…it needs a little love but I need something for some projects around the house and it’ll come in handy!

I think an M160 is a nice option to have not just for guitar amps but also it can be just the ticket on acoustic, overheads, a spot mic on cymbals, even vocals.
Like mentioned my M130’s a much darker and honestly I haven’t found anything I really like them on…
R92 are cool for electric guitar and probably a similar price to a M160. The Shure KSM313 is often overlooked as well and is unique in that two sides are voiced differently

I’ve recorded them a few times, what’s your question/concern about them? I guess does koa matter tonally. I have done a bit more digging and the ones Lindley were playing were sapele. And he of course sounded magnificent. I am no Mr. Dave by any stretch. would you be scared off by laminate back and sides? Probably going to be hard to find one locally to try, although one place is a dealer for a couple brands on the low end of the scale. They mostly seem to get ukes in though. Cheers, Geoff To be honest the only two people I've recorded playing one is Jerry Douglas and Andy Hall, and both of them were playing Jerry's Style 1 which is from the 1910's. So, I'm not the player and wouldn't know what to do with one if it was handed to me! But I'm pretty sure that one is all Koa. They are very quiet compared to a Dobro (obviously) but have a pretty fun wire-y sound. Jerry has a sound hole pick up in his which really helps the sustain...just sneaking it in helps. I have a terrible memory of what songs we've used it on but if I remember I'll post an example

Spent over a decade on a 3036. I’ve used the parametric EQs and they are pretty bland. But I was also curious about the passive inductor EQ. But yes Avalon and API made modules as well as John Hardy. Probably others I’m forgetting

Make a mono Aux Click on the KIT Plugins tab You’ll see and option for mono in stereo out View AttachmentHave you listened? Does that sound stereo to you? When I go mono with my monitor controller, it's virtually the same...maaaaybe a little side info. And yeah, the mono and stereo are the same It sounds pretty mono and fudged up to me. Pretty short compared to the actual chamber itself as well.

A chamber would have a mono send that feeds the speaker, and the return would be stereo since they used stereo/stereo pair microphones.
Or, simple, mono in stereo out DAW AUX language

While it's very cool that Lynx did this, especially for ATMOS rigs, I think a lot of people sleep on Sonnox ListenHub, which you can load Sonarwork into instead having to use it inside your DAW. You can also switch between sources, solo bands like MetricAB...and it functions as a monitor controller. You can even use your phone or iPad or whatever so it's not on your screen. www.sonnox.com/toolbox/listenhub

That’s a great idea…to make a list of stuff that’s never been used and start working them into sessions and see how it goes

MetricAB also is a great tool, or if you are on HDX they has some AAX DSP plugins that can be handy to have around

I used the Pick whatever to get the Silver Bullet, and the Neold U2A plug-in which who knows might be cool/better/different from the other LA-2A's out there. The Silver Bullet is pretty great, definitely a "better-sizer". Was working on a song and tossed it on with the N setting, Hitmaker 4000, and aspect ratio and it all just sounded better.

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 Vintage, US Custom shop, Japanese Custom Shop? It’s a Made in Japan model, I think from the mid 90’s?

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

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

I bought an Avion Retro Flyer Deluxe Preamp for my Rhodes and also an action restoration kit which maybe on a slow weekend I’ll get around to doing. Just trying to get the studio keyboards in tip top shape

seanRegarding tictac bass. Any experience with baritone guitar vs bass vi? Which works better for this stuff? Doesn’t really matter…baritone works great and honestly what most people use/have. I don’t see too many Bass VI’s. Duane Eddy has brought his signature Gretsch one to a few sessions and it’s incredible…but hard to justify a $3500 6 string bass. I’m sure the Squire is great

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 What bass speaker and treble driver did you go with? What model Leslie is it? It's a 147 that had the amplifier changed to a 122. I went with an Atlas PD-5VH driver and Weber 15F200 bass speaker from Tonewheel General

Did Big Al’s for lunch today. Great food and dudes from Mass running the place, so that was cool. Think we’re going for a Ryman tour this afternoon and Wood Brothers show at Ryman tonight. Big Al’s is the greatest, solid choice!

Any spots with killer bao buns? Love to find more bluegrass spots too. We’re probably gonna be tied up with my bud tonight, tomorrow, and Friday dinner. Later Friday and all day night Saturday look free right now. Probably gonna try to do the hall of fame and studio b tour on Sunday. Sunday night probably still open too. Wood brothers show is a possibility for tomorrow night. Xiao Bao for sure I think the Station Inn is taken over by Tin Pin South this week. If I were in town Saturday I’d go see Guided By Voices

Tonight (Wednesday) Frank Evans Band is at Jane’s Hideaway, which is a smaller club/cocktail lounge in East Nashville. Really good bluegrass if that’s your thing. At Dee’s Lounge in Madison Kenny Vaughn from Marty Stuart’s band is playing with his Dave Jacques (John Prine) and Jeffery Clemens (G Love & the Special Sauce). The Descendents and Circle Jerks are playing Brooklyn Bowl but that’s probably sold out but I hate that I’m not in town for it! If you go to Jane’s Dino’s is a good bar with great burgers. If you go to Dee’s Pinky Ring Pizza is amazing or Tacos Y Mariscos is probably the best Mexican in town…not a fancy joint but where the locals eat
It’s Tin Pin South, which is a songwriters/industry festival and that’s going on all over town. Their website is tough to navigate but maybe someone you want to see is playing
I’m pretty out of touch when it comes to the new restaurants but near where you are staying is Fido, which is a good coffee spot with food that you can collect your thoughts and figure out how to spend your day! There’s some nice storefronts to walk around and check out in that area as well.
I’d also recommend going to the 12th South Area which has a lot of great lunch and dinner spots and some places to walk around and shop/check out. It’s 10 minutes from where you’re staying, good shopping and tons of restaurants
Robert’s Western World is the best bar for music on Broadway if you are going to go into that scene. I’d recommend doing that Wednesday or Thursday unless you just love crowds and drunks
If you’ve never seen a show at the Ryman I’d recommend it and the Wood Brothers, which are incredible, play Thursday. Black Pumas are doing two nights as well and Courtney Marie Andrews is opening and she’s wonderful
