Look at that!

[doug rr]

a friend of mine recently bought 2 guitars from amazon that I had never heard of...Firefly brand that are copies of a 335...they sell for only $139 and he loves them..
amazon is now out of them..does anyone know anything about them? are they shit? i haven't played or seen them yet though..

Turns out I'm going to put the money I was earmarking for the guitar purchase I was talking about a page or two earlier towards a 13th monthly mortgage payment instead. Never thought I'd live to see the day.

Not sure about the orange coloured 3-knob pedal in the middle of the front row but otherwise:

Front row (Mike's R-to-L):

Electro-Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress (digital flanger)
Ibanez TS9 (overdrive)
?
Xotic EP Booster
MXR Phase 90
Line 6 DL4 (digital delay/looper)

Back row:

Earthquaker Devices Afterneath (digital reverb)
MXR Carbon Copy (analog delay)
Electro-Harmonix POG2 (digital octaver)
TC Electronics Spark Booster
(? - too much cut off to see)

Some minor Googling suggests the mystery orange pedal is a Tone Freak Naked OD.

Good work spenno!

Also interesting to have so many boosters and different dig/analog delays.

I've been to this shop a few times..i always love when he gets a delivery..

If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd do is take off my phone case. Second thing? Make an appointment at Norm's.

I finally scratched my Gibson P90 itch. Found an offer for a double cut faded that I couldn't refuse. 2003, same as my standard. So light and it sounds....man, it sounds good.

[Birds in Hell]

Very very nice, Self.

[wease]

Sweet!

Put my Gretsch hollowbody and Blackstar stack in my bedroom. It sounds so sweet clean, just the right type of cream on top. Lying in bed playing on a weekend morning is pretty nice.

Took some photos of my kid's room and gear. It is just about a true home studio.

Yamaha baby grand, electric, Squire Mustang


Stack of keyboards. Come sort of vocoder (with an older one somewhere), the prized Juno-106, Roland JP-08 head, Yamaha DX7, some midi keyboard in the back.
Pedals, space echo, super fuzz, distortion, blues driver, mxr, super chorus, tuner.


Space echo (rack), moog Model D copy head, Big Sky pedal, Mobius pedal, Roland rhythm machine of some sort and keyboard to JP-08, drum machine with Lynn triggers mod, 12 channel mixing board, snare to Mapex kit, and a JC120 under it all.


Openheimer OB-6, 707 drum machine, trigger pad, martin mini acoustic, Taylor acoustic


Finally, the desk. Moog Opus 3, Cakewalk monitors, Yamaha monitors, mac with Ableton and ProTools


Fucker's got it going on.

That is a sick synth collection!

He has a nicer assortment than some of the studios he's recorded in. All he's really lacking is an organ.
The photos should have shown a few mics as well, from cheap shure 57s, to some pretty nice ones. He also has a really nice set of drum mics.

[Strat]

That looks like a fun room to spend some time in.

My baby (amp) is in the shop for some repairs

Sometimes, I use my gear in the dorkiest way possible.
