Did a rehearsal with the Noetic Sea project tonight. We're doing the duo thing with Ableton live, IEMs and all sorts of fun tech. Building up the tracks "before your eyes". It's really cool as long as the tech works. Here we are in "RockScience Theater" (aka the big room) just outside of the room where the album was mixed. First tune from this project drops to streaming services on June 3.

Live looping experiment with Ableton in progress. It's cool, but you're always one stupid goof away from a total train wreck

I've had this "real tube direct" DI for many years. IIRC, a studio client gave it to me. It's one of the things I occasionally consider selling, but then I read how much people like them. So I convince myself it's special and keep it.
I saw someone had posted pics of the inside of one, so I opened mine up. One big difference is that those two power resistors are soldered flush to the board and the board is baked black all around them. On the other guy's, there was an air gap. Also his didn't have the tube siliconed in like mine.
So... I either do a recapping, and replace those resistors, or dump it on reverb it as-is, or just forget about it for another 5 years.

Hello insta crew. Please let me introduce . This is the project I've been collabing on for several months with a very talented singer/songwriter. He's busy "getting his socials up" as the kids say and he's put up the first preview of "The River". I would love it if my followers would give him a follow and keep in the loop as this stuff gets released. We're both really proud of this project. And we thank you. That is all. As you were...

I'm putting finishing touches on a project i am really excited about. Working with a very talented singer/songwriter I met while auditioning for a band a few months ago. I'm looking forward to getting these songs out and working on the next batch. Projects like this help me remember why I bother keeping all this gear around.

Jamming with the trippy groovy on-hold music while booking a medical appointment.

Play keyboards in a Reggae band! Friends! Money! Popularity! Seriously, we're looking to add keys. At a minimum, it's major and minor triads on the "off" beats on a piano-ish sound. Even that adds A LOT. At the max, it's that PLUS, varied and interesting synth textures and effects. (listen to Stick Figure, Algorithm, any other modern reggae) so it can be as interesting as you make it. The songs are simple but it's all about groove. Mixture of covers and original (great singer/songwriter in the band). There's a recording studio (mine) at hand. Is it you? Know anyone? Let me know. We're located between Newport RI and Attleboro MA. Rehearse 1x/week. No gigs yet - still putting it together. I've been onboard since Jan1.

pedalboard churn continues. Selling the Voodoo Labs 3+ power supply. I love the supply but it does not quite fit into the Temple board which I love even more. There are plenty on Reverb so this one is priced to sell. Would love to see it end up in a good home with someone I know.

Used mostly in studio with just a handful of gigs. Very clean. Works perfectly. Includes seven DC power connectors - one of which has a 2.5mm barrel (Eventide Style). Includes AC power cord. Does not include original packaging. Missing two of the four rubber feet (only reason I'm not calling ...

When the stars align... Reunion Blues pedalboard case arrives and the box is perfect for shipping the Roland GR the next day.
