Thanks for the responses! That MS-20 mini looks cool. I'll look into that more. I'm specifically not looking for USB connectivity, digital menus, "virtual analog", saving settings, etc. I don't even need MIDI. I feel like every instrument, amp, pedal, tape machine, mixing board, outboard e...

Ok...I'm considering an analog synth purchase. I know. I've made it this far without taking the bait but there is something about an old/weird analog synth that is kind of calling to me right now. And I don't know if I'm gonna pick up the phone, but I'm looking at stuff in the $500-$700 range that's...

Yeah that seller has been at it forever. A while back I bought a Biamp MR140 for cheap that I was so excited about, but it didn't work. Like no wet signal.

I'm not playing along to the radio and don't have the sharpest ear, so I'm sure it's not perfect. And honestly there's something I love about guitars with bridges that m...

When I'm putting a guitar together I usually set the neck to be dead flat and let the string tension add just the slightest bit of relief. Obviously there is some adjustment when setting up and doing the intonation, but in terms of what feels good to me, this get's me most of the way there.

I love The Doors, Radiohead, Bowie and The Clash (another band ripe for PRF piling-on). Damn my pedestrian tastes. Overrated? Guns N Roses, Billy Joel, Metallica, Joacquin Phoenix, Chik Fil A, the movie 'Heat', Instagram activism, "gut health" snake oil, luxury cars, the Marvel universe, p...

Those little electric fans can squeal and wail like hell when the motor is starting to fail. They're easy to replace, though.

Those speakers look really light.
