Your New Gear

[MrNovember]

Search was failing me, but it didn't seem like we have a thread for the new gear that we just bought and are excited as fuck about...

I've sold and traded a few things and as a result I have a bunch of stuff coming my way! I'm finally the owner of an Industrialectric Echo Degrader! And I've got a SSF Mini Slew, Make Noise Tempi, and Noise Eng Ataraxic Translatron coming for my modular!

What have you guys bought recently?!

But that's basically all UG, so maybe it's time to start a new one?

Read the title of that one and totally misinterpreted it. I thought it was about what you're gassing for, not what you've actually got coming to you. Might as well use the existing thread rather than make a duplicate

Yeah I was always confused why there was the Sunday Gas Party thread and the Thread of and for Gas thread.

[popvulture]

Isn't ILF like 90% GAS anyway? I say expel wherever you like.

[01010111]

Maybe this can be the post-honeymoon period thread? The gear you recently bought, no longer see through rose-colored glasses, and still love.

[popvulture]

Hmmmm, that's a good one. I've sold a few lately that I once thought I'd hang onto indefinitely...

Big winners according to your post-honeymoon criteria: Grey Channel, Particle.

The Grey Channel looks super cool and useful!

I haven't flipped anything I've bought recently, but the favs are definitely the minilogue and tonal recall. I like them so much better now than when I first got them. I think my expectations for both of these were way too high when I bought them. But I really like them now. They're both super flexible and useful.

Funny--the Tonal Recall was one that I just flipped. I didn't dislike it by any means, more just thought it was way more complex than what I typically want out of an analog delay. Watch me regret it soon, haha...

think i have got post honeymoon with my nemesis. came very close to flipping it - i wanted to like it more than my el cap but i just couldnt click with it in the same way but i just had a big jam and think its gonna stay for now - love the diffuse and reverse on it

[Hyphen Nation]

we could always use a third.

the gas thread
the thread when it's getting delivered
the thread when it has arrived (this thread)

+ B/S/T for when you are looking at your gear in the cold morning light of the morning after.

What made me almost sell it were the weird volume issues. But it sounds sooo nice, and after playing with the trimpots I was able to get the volume up to an acceptable level. Still a little wonky, but it at least doesn't disappear when I play with fuzz now.

[popvulture]

I had two wee beefs with it... one, that it was significantly noisier than other delays I'd used. This wasn't the end of the world, but I had a couple others I loved (AD-9, Malekko Echo 600) that gave me the perfect tones I was looking for without said noise. The other was the modulation... it's very nice, but I think I just realized that I'm typically not personally into chorus-y sounds. I love a little modulation on reverb, but something about significantly adding it to delay immediately dates the tone for me in a way that I don't usually like. So anyway, to be brief, it was just a significant feature that I wasn't using. FWIW, this is why I also sold my WVMKII. Regardless, both awesome pedals, just not for me. And I think Joel is rad. I'd love to see what he could do with a reverb.

One pedal that I got very close to selling but I'm VERY glad I didn't: Ct5. At first I kind of doubted how much I'd use it to its fullest and wondered if it was worth it to keep. Then I decided to relax and just enjoy some of the more subtle, textural things it can do. Goddamn that can be a pretty pedal.

I got the Mountainking Electronics Heavy Machine 2 weeks ago. Very pleased with it as usual
