That's a different patch, I'll check the manual but I'm told it does.

Plans are starting to come together. Le pultecs!

If my spouse didn't need a full five octaves I would've bought one instead of the Prophet Rev2 we got (no regrets). I STILL want a Take 5 just for the immediacy of 'this all sounds good'

Ludwig Thermogloss kit from the fine folks at Wood & Weather drum shop. 12/13/26/20 (!!), 6-ply. Stoked. You don't see 20" kicks in 6-ply come up that often. Will be keeping my eyes open for a matching 24" though.

Also, Jury/Century Guitars "Dronemaster". Very excited to get my hands on this and do some R&D with it.

Rolling the dice on an "untested" Calrec Soundfield Mk. IV system. I think the seller got it from a storage unit liquidation or a church closing or something, because none of their other items are of this ilk. Hopefully it just needs a good cleaning and refoaming, based on the photos. Price was too good to pass up.

Now that looks like fun not to mention that faceplate looks like something that was in the Lunar Command Module

Holy shit

Yeah those mics are serious business.

My fav semi-annual gift from my wife - a ~$150 amp repair from my local tech, which I ask for on every Christmas and birthday, unless we are traveling or something. .

Diptyque Eau Rose for her and a badass pair of cowboy boots for my 2-year old daughter.

Happy holidays all!

This arrived today. It "works," but has low output. Pretty sure all four of the capsules need to be replaced, as they're all missing quite a bit of the gold coating on the membranes. I contacted Soundfield (Rode) in Australia to see what they say about servicing it.
