got to play with some cool stuff yesterday

[stewart]

i was at my friend's house yesterday, the first time i've been in his flat, and had a go on some of his gear.



he's got a modded TR606 drum machine (it can do really glitchy stuff) and we put it through a filter bank, then into an RE-201 space echo and RE-501 chorus echo. sounded amazing. i almost had to run home to grab an adidas track suit and a pair of shell toes! you can see the 606 at the back under the space echo.

the good news is he's now playing bass in my band, which means for recording etc we'll have access to all his kit. oh yes!

[Reece]

when your telly stand is a roland re-501 you have won.

[stewart]

i know, he's a complete bastard. he had 2 or 3 other tape echo units just 'lying about'.

there's also an ARP odyssey sitting on a shelf above the space echo, and an old miniKorg 700 on the other side.

i want them.

[william]

i thought the 606 back there was a TB303

i was like OH SHIT, SON

606 is cool too. wish you could have... bootlegged it for us.


by which i mean actually stolen all the shit and then given it to me.

i'll give endsjustifymeans a call and he can work his wall-scalin' cat burglin' magic on it.

let me know when i can expect my shit.




hey, why dont you have big muffs over your avatar?

[stewart]

because i asked for a title, and that chases the muffs away.

i see.

can i get frantone "the sweet"s instead? i find their frequency response to be a bit fuller, and the attack a bit more defined.

[Josh]

ask a mod for them instead of a big muff

I'm on it. Just gotta grab my Kappa tracky and I'll be on my way.
