^ One is called the Bit Crusher. The other is the regent 150. Build quality is A+

I've been recording with this delicate monstrosity since late 2017: Been looking to tone-down the amount of time I spend recording entirely, but I also want to make use of the analog pre I just bought (Grace Design m101).
Have been weighing a 2-channel vs. a 1-channel. After about 24-hours of thinking about this, I think 1-channel is actually the way to go, because if I want to record in stereo I can just plug the Peavey back in.

Might go for this one: Rode AI-1 My only hesitancy is that I like playing drums and recording drums, and mono drums are way inferior to stereo imo. But then again, I can easily record stereo drums if I just plug the Peavey back in. Whatever.

I've also been checking out rack gear, since I use a Hi-Fi to listen to music. Seems like the Solid-state recording devices are not really manufactured anymore, but I do like the concept of not using a computer at all and just clicking record on a piece of rack gear on top of my stereo and then recording drums or guitar or whatever just into there. This Denon 450 is advertised on eBay for like $150 but I dunno, it's still limiting in a certain way.

I'm late to the ribbon game and had one for a long time that only got seldom use but it wasn't until recently that I found a couple applications that opened my eyes and now I'm all-in.

I have really bad Fender Telecaster Custom lust right now.

So I have been window shopping and its wild that you spend over $1000 on a guitar and they want to give you a gigbag instead of a hardcase with your purchase. When the hell did that change (says the guy that has bought most of his guitars from people in person)?

Damn that's a good deal, but I need that single coil bridge pu for my needs.

To each their own. If I bought a guitar and it came with a hard case, that case is going promptly into the closet and the guitar into a gigbag. That's locational though...dont have a car, dont wanna walk a mile to practice holding a case.

You need a Tele Custom? With a single coil in the bridge? AND in a hard case? WELL HOWZABOUT you slide into my DMs and we can talk about what I've got on hand here. I'm likely selling one in the near future.

I'm definitely at a point where if it's a standard guitar/bass shape, I'd rather have a gig bag as I've got enough cases I can use at this point, and I'm tired of figuring out where to store the ones I've got.

we had more discussion on that than you might imagine, and most people on the manufacturing side feel the same way. That turned into this gig-case that quickly became my favorite carrying guitar anything
