Anyone want to buy a Jet Phaser? Only used for about 10 minutes.

Because? 10 mins is a pretty abrupt end to a first date.

I'm kinda phaser-curious at the moment. Was going to get an MXR 90 and be done with it, but I feel I want to be able to control the blend of wet and dry.

A basic daisy chain power supply for two of my Boss reverb pedals. No other power supply seems to work, and they drain batteries like crazy. I'm going to melt them into oblivion if this supply doesn't work.

Yeah.. FM Garth recently hipped me to the fact that digital Boss stuff seems to work best with a good ol 1-Spot. Was getting weird Low Battery errors on a Boss RC-5 when using my nice isolated power supply.

Phase is kinda limp. Fuzz isn't really very good and has no gain control. Together they sound like a bad idea. I might try to Mod it or maybe just give it away for a Xmass Prez. Not a huge bummer since I got it half price, but my Ross Phase and My germanium Color Sound clone blow it away for bong riffs.

In my ongoing search for a SS combo that will take pedals (particularly gain pedals) better than my Champion 50XL or Deluxe 90, I found a Blues Cube 30 cheap on the bay. I don't need another amp, but it was around the same price as re-tubing/biasing my LC30. We'll see.

I picked up a $175 Classic Vibe Mustang a while back and it's the only guitar I've been playing for months. So much fun. I don't use a wang bar, just manipulate that huge tailpiece with my palm, and it never stays in tune. The vibrato is one thing but that damn rocking bridge! I get that it was "supposed" to work on a Jazzmaster because it was meant to be manipulated gently by a jazzy individual, but on a student level guitar it's ridiculous. Anyway, I got an official Fender Mustang tremolo and a Mastery M1 kit. Not fucking around. The Mastery is supposed to arrive today and I'm hoping to have some time this weekend to do the swap.

Broken Sennheiser MD-441U ($219 shipped) . Seller fucked up and sent me the wrong one, which is a MD-441U3 with no 5 way high pass filter. Looks like a solder tab broke off the capsule and the hot wire broke of the XLR. Should be fixable with a little finesse. Still complained that it's the wrong one, will hopefully end up with a deal on both, and get at least one working unit out of the two.

Midi Solutions thru box. Kind have been fucking myself by not having one these past few years.

I bought this plugin (or as we like to call them in Reason, 'rack extension'), and it sounds quite nice.

I don't usually buy a lot of plugins, but this was compelling and on sale and NO EGRETS.

I keep finding AT4033 and Pro 37r mics for $70, so this year I can hand them out as gifts
