something new(ish)... gear rentals | thesoundparcel.co

Post by mrdave1981 »

thought it was time to make an official announcement. over the last 6 months we've been hard at work getting something new(ish) launched!

http://www.thesoundparcel.co
https://www.instagram.com/thesoundparcel

so what is thesoundparcel exactly?
we connect gear enthusiasts with today's most innovative manufacturers and yesterday's most in demand vintage music equipment, through a variety of rental and try before your buy programs.

but rentals have been done before...
true, there are a few folks offering pedal rentals. in addition to guitar effects we'll have a broad selection of synths and other electronic gadgets. we hope to have a some eurorack available by january 2017 as well!

if you've ever wanted to try some gear before purchase... stop by and take a look.

thanks!

Woo Hoo, PA! :!!!:

mrdave1981, I can't message you back because, apparently, you've disabled PM receipt.

Yeah, this's a fine place to make this announcement. You may be a member here for a few years, but, with only a few posts, nobody here really knows who you are.

Instrument (non-school band), backline, and rental for studio gear, among other stuff, has been around for ages.

Nothing new under the sun.

Unless you're bringing back modulation or porch monkey.

As a gear enthusiast I've been swapping equipment on eBay for over a decade. When it comes to lesser known small build companies, tabletopsynths, and other similar electronics... I personally had not found a similar service. That's what spurned this idea and turned it into a reality.

Yes... There are a few companies offering pedal rentals (thus the newish)... But what we are trying to do is fill a whole in the market that does exist today. May not be for everybody, and that is cool...

With that said, we all know there is a big difference between watching an inspiring demo on YouTube vs plugging it in and actually using something within the context of our own setup. Whether someone is a hobbyist, pro, or somebody just looking to try something new rental is a fantastic option to assist in first hand investigation.
