I might just have had an orgasm

[christianrock]

Oh yeah, I hit the GC down the road on the way home & scored a used rack mxr for cheaps:



Sounds way better than my crummy old Samson.

What's cheaps? Just curious. I want a mixer, but I want one with aux sends and returns like the Roland M-120 or M-160. I want to be able to start using my OTB effects again.

[ElectricPuppy]

Can you still find those Roland rack mixers on the 'Bay? When they first came out, I came *this* close to buying one, but the price tag finally said, "no". But that was many, many moons ago.

You'll be mad...

$30 + tax

I think it was mismarked, but they honored it.

Nice!!

EP: yeah and they go for about 100-200 dollars depending on condition. I think they're probably worth the money.

[ElectricPuppy]

$30 for that? Steal of the Month, man!

[Plink Floyd]

So, Fest.2014 looms. I'm kind of meh about it this year, but Teh Boy & a couple of his cronies want to attend. Rich F. returns, as well as notable keyboard dudes Larry Dunn and Kenneth Crouch, but I dunno...

I mean, teh Beet Kangs aren't even showing up.

[Plink Floyd]

Arrite, Ima go again.

CLAVANUTHA: Meet me over here and I'll buy you a glass of whatever passes for beer in Ft. Wayne.

And the rest of y'all too.

[ElectricPuppy]

Have teh funs, Plinks! We expect a full report, you know.

[ClavAnother]

I would go, but alas a have to put in some OT this weekend

[Plink Floyd]

I would go, but alas a have to serve Mammon this weekend

Aww, bummage man.

When is nobcon next?

[ClavAnother]

I'm pretty sure it's in September, you should come; he wants me to unveil the Ms20 maxi there.

I was actually planning to go to his studio this weekend, but if I work Sunday I'll never swing it.

I think I might be able to finish the prototype if I go though.

Clav, you're such a gear tease.

[ClavAnother]

We'll come to KnobCon and you can play it.


Anyway, I'm working all weekend, so I won't be finishing it yet, maybe by the end if the month though.


I'll send you a pic when I do.

[selfinflikted]

I'll send you a pic when I do.

Um. You need to show it to the entire Treehouse, thankyouverymuch. You know we've been on pins and needles since you "announced" it.

[ClavAnother]

uh whoops... did I say that out loud?

[MetroSonus]

Did you end up going this year?

[Plink Floyd]

Yeah. But Teh Wyfe has taken in some contract work and I've had a cold, so with trying to make the kids do the extra housework and the coughing and the schmelkus, I just can't be arsed to report yet.

Oh yeah I also had to do this.

[Plink Floyd]

Here's some stuff from my latest visit to Teh Fest.



They got a new playground implement.



Anderton DAWed with some kind of twangy-stick controller.



Phatty phatty phat phat.

I know: a lackluster report. I must confess that I didn't have as much fun as I have in the past. It was mostly due to the fact that I took Guitar Boy and three of his bandmates this year. I don't know why I thought I'd get any sleep in a hotel room with four post-adolescent Rock Stars™. They made us late the first day, we overslept the second day, and they got bored before the end and I was too fashed to argue about leaving early.

Oh well, they say I'll miss these times...

[Plink Floyd]

In G-Boy's defense, he was in a hurry to get home and play with the Large Orange Box he purchased @ SweetFest:



It sounds really good, but not worth the $, imo. btw the Peavey isn't his but it's teh awesum, I think.



Needless to say, this one's now for sale:
