Your latest G.A.S. purchases

[Loki Laufeyiarson]

Ah, congratz on finishing it then.

 

[DominikJW]

Finally joined the family Should set me up interface-wise for a couple years at least.

Also grabbed some other stuff lately:

Epiphone Embassy 4 Standard bass, pretty damn good bass for the price (and it goes seriously dirt cheap)

Yamaha FX770, was cheap, should get in hand from time to time

Zoom H-1, for some rough band-demos and sound effects or ambience recordings

Bought Lasse Heat license last night

 

[MetalJonesy]

that's badass Jamie, i really need to pull my finger out and make something, i find it easy enough to do, i just can't be bothered to source all the parts from separate suppliers!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Today's stupid deal for $90. I've wanted one of these for years, one of the coolest pedals for guitar IMO. Just hard to spend $220 for a dirt pedal (for me anyway).

I got all of my stuff from Mouser. They have a UK distributor (in Manchester I believe) so it's piss easy. Hell, if you go with the Hairball 1176 kits, there's a bill of materials section and they link you to a shopping cart with all the bits. Seemples!

 

[Skaldir]

Nice addition for 25 €

I was wondering about that. Consider that or the Ibanez Tubedriver.

Just bought what feels like a metric fuckton of cables and ends from Redco. Wallet hurts so bad. Will be nice to finally have everything wired though.

 

[Revson]

I tested it and it sounded good. I'm just tidying up all the wires n shit now that I know it works. I was the guy building it yeah

I started working on one about the same time as you. I finished putting it together a while back, turned it on to see if it powered up. The next day I was going to calibrate it and it wouldn't turn on again and it turns out the fuse popped. No idea what caused that to happen and I haven't touched it in months cause I've been so busy with other shit.

 

[Ashgarth]

Tama speed cobra single pedal!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I was wondering about that. Consider that or the Ibanez Tubedriver.

I have an old tubeking and a TS clone. This thing doesn't really (IMO) sound anything alike them.

I've been wanting one for quite some time, but like I said fuck $220 for a dirt pedal.

Anyhow, I'll be sure to post some clips when it comes.

 

[Sacha]

Haven't purchased these yet just trying them out thanks to a generous engineer. The Opals are great but something about the very top end irritates me...haven't found anything better as of yet but trying some things out.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

A cheap ass kit, for 50 derror absolutely no hardware. No idea when I will get it fully going, I'm probably not gonna bother with the 8" tom since 4 lugs seems insane to me to tune any drum. haha

Hopefully can find a floor tom for it, the toms are 8/10/and 12 so it seems like there should be a 14 or 16" floor tom, but I'm not complaining for the cost. Oh and here is how the kick sounds.
Mapex kick, Addictive drums everything else.

just picked up an eventide eclipse and a tc 2290.

everytime i get a new piece of outboard gear it makes me look at my ilok and wonder if it wasn't for the ease of having multiple plug ins on channels i would throw it in the garbage.

some plug ins are really useful mainly with workflow and sound pretty cool nothing beats a great hardware unit.

 

[sprack]

Wow, very nice snag.

just picked up an eventide eclipse and a tc 2290

 

[aramism]

thank you sir. i will admit that while i have a pretty balanced hybrid studio setup with nice front end pres and converters and some outboard processing a lot of the eq and comp gets done via plugs, with much success. i just haven't been able to find any plug ins that can get even close to how outboard gear processes effects. i've tried so many. altiverb is as close as it gets and a few others sprinkled across the marketplace.

put a nice lead vocal through a real lexicon reverb and tc stereo delay and you just melt.

[DeclanWhite]
