From the latest sonicstate podcast I present this dumb poo poo:


trueno.com posted:

Trueno (from the Spanish for thunder) is a 3 oscillator analogue synthesiser in a USB stick. With the same oscillator circuits found in modular monstrosities and its wild, aggressive filter; Trueno does not compromise on sound quality.

Powerful features such as a built in 24 bit ADC, instant preset recall and automation control allow it to integrate easilyinto your music production process or performance. By swapping the front panel for full PC/Mac control from a VST/AUplugin or standalone application, we can offer Trueno at a price that can’t be touched by anything with comparable features.

Now you can add the raw, powerful analogue sounds you’ve been craving for the same price as a plugin.

We can’t wait to hear what you’re going to do with it!

The value of the limited-run Arby's guitar pedals is largely affected by how greasy their components tended to get when stuffed into a bag with a kid's meal. Many got so gunked up that they are almost worthless, but those in good condition like the one pictured can fetch thousands.




In actuality it's a custom-made phase pedal and yeah it's definitely $49.95

That’s really interesting to hear that some of these chibsons were made in Epiphone factories. So a lot of these guitars are just Epiphones with “different” headstocks then?

It’s funny, I basically have zero experience with Epiphones. Has anybody here ever played one that’s as good or better than the real deal?
This is from like 10 days ago, but if you're willing to get a Les Paul for way less money but don't want to skip on quality stuff, just get an Edwards. It's basically how ESP gets around and sells Fender/Gibson clones to the Japanese market, and through Reverb you can usually find them around the 700-800 range used. They're pretty rad.

Well there's actual analogue circuitry in the usb stick. Presumably it oscilates, might filter, and converts to digital.

But it's needs a VST to talk to it. They say the VST is no easier on CPU cycles than good analogue simulation (U-He DIVA, etc)


NonzeroCircle posted:

Every time someone puts a comment on youtube about how analogue circuitry is better than digital approximation of same (based on youtube audio), that is their target audience.

I mean it sounds real good. In their canned demos. Still stupid.

There is a seemingly endless supply of overpriced stupid guitar poo poo out there:

Only 3,638 bucks! Notice the fake wear and tear and horrible color. Goes well with that goofy body shape.



Only 2300 for this Fender pretender



For 1790 you could buy Guy Fieri in guitar form.


For a measly 3600 bucks and you have have this thing:


1700 bucks for the ugliest V possible:



Now, not all stupid poo poo is over priced. I found some solid stupid deals too:

For 450 bucks you can get this "hand carved" custom abortion


Cheap acoustics can be stupid too. This is only 200 bucks

The local instrument shop apparently has a great deal with the German guitar brand "Sandberg". About the price range of Fender and Gibson, but better quality control.

The instruments themselves are really high quality, they feel great, sound great, many have cool designs, BUT... Most of them are relic-ed.
http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/guitars/california-dc

At least of the ones the shop took in most of them have some kind of relic finish, maybe to drive home the selling point that every one of the guitars are hand made and unique one of a kind instruments. I hate it, myself. I don't mind if my guitars have scratches and bruises, as long as it's wear and tear from playing and traveling. I've said about several of the guitars that "wow, I'd want that if it wasn't scratched up". One of the clerks, a friend of mine who's a great guitar player and gear geek, insists that the aging is more than just cosmetic, it vastly improves the tone and if we had set up an A/B test it would be clear that the aged ones had better sustain and tone. Also, for some reason this tonal effect only comes from aging with sandpaper and tools, not from road wear.

You'd think he's just saying it because he works in a shop and wants to sell the products they stock, but it seems like he truly believes what he's saying. On the other hand, he doesn't own any "aged" guitars himself. :D
One time we had this argument (it has happened a few times), I jokingly offered to relic his white falcon to improve the tone. That joke wasn't well received.
