thank you!

anyone recognize these pickups?

hey look - the Taiga's got a keyboard of her own!

I don't know how many people here play in stereo, but if you do or know someone who does, you seriously need to consider this. If I still had my old stereo guitar rig, I'd have one of these already.

love to see it

jesus christ what the hell I just noticed that I'm wearing the same shirt in both photos

If we're going punk era, I'm taking The Stranglers' Dave Greenfield over all others, including Nieve and Jackson. I salute the poster who said people hired Nicky Hopkins to sound like Nicky Hopkins. Finally, Imma throw this guy out there, even though I guess he's not on keys often enough to really qualify:

it's the new one, the Astro 20, a 20-watt head that's the first new Soldano model in ages.

I won this, too. I have no memory of entering the contest. I saw the announcement in the early December email newsletter, took a look at it and thought, "damn, that would be great if a) I still had a speaker cab to run it into, and b) I liked tube amps (I don't)...but since both of those answers are no, guess I'll pass this up." Well, based on the number of entries they got and the number of my winning entry, I guess I changed my mind a couple of days after Xmas. Again, no memory of. I had no idea of what it could do until I was notified that I'd won...then I started watching all the review videos. The direct options look awesome; I think I can get used to going direct with this. I'll give it a year of working with it to see if I want to make it a long-term thing; I probably will. The clean and lower-gain channels sound incredible, and even the higher-gain channels will be useful. Might have to buy a new E-Bow, as the red (highest gain) channel is just begging for it.

I wonder if these are in some sort of chronological order; I see some old models in that bottom (front?) row, specifically the flanger and eq at bottom right, which a friend had around 1984 or so.

*bump*

it's up now, 5 days later. ...yes, that's who you think it is.

I love you, Beth 💖💖💖💖💖

cool old effect

I know overdrive pedals don't have a lot of fans here, but I actually like this one.

seriously, what the heck is that in her hands?

From Siberia to you:

Attn: Ambience chasers! Since the early 1990s, Robert Fripp has utilised the latest in looping technology and digital effects to create Soundscapes, a gradually unfolding, highly textured, expansive and overtly symphonic music. 'The Wine of Silence' is the first album to feature orchestral arrangements of Fripp's groundbreaking work in this field. Orchestrated by composer Andrew Keeling and performed by the Metropole Orkest, under the baton of Jan Stulen, the results of this inspired collaboration evoke the works of Part, Gorecki, Tavener and the 'holy minimalist' school of composition. Andrew Keeling's sensitive and often startling orchestrations emphasise the reverie, passion and contemplation which is at the heart of Fripp's Soundscapes and capture the spirit of the original performances, reflecting the guitarist's rich musicality. While sometimes sombre and elegiac, Fripp's music radiates a sense of hope, affirmation and resolution. With the tapes of the Metropole Orkest performance subsequently 're-imagined' by David Singleton - co-producer of all of Fripp's Soundscapes recordings to date - 'The Wine Of Silence' comprises a sublime and moving collection of contemporary orchestral music.
