I had a good memorial day weekend. Picked up a Boss Katana 50w MkII for cheap at a pawn shop and got a Schecter C-1 Platinum on sale. The Schecter was a HUGE upgrade over the Squier Strat I started with.

I put together a kit guitar, it turned out better than I'd hoped! 12 string tele. The bridge is super weird, you can intonate the "fat" strings but for the octaves there's nothing.

Paint job is 100% krylon with a lot of satin clear coat on top.

Launch Control XL is a great piece of kit. I have mine set up to roughly mimic the controls on my iVCS3 iPad app and it's so good for that (except for the pitch, where MIDI doesn't have enough granularity.)

The Deluge landed this afternoon, and my mind is blown:



All of that is going in this pedalboard case tomorrow:




And all of this should run for a considerable amount of time on a small USB power brick.

Yup. It's been the centrepiece of a livelooping console for a while using SWAM, Pianoteq and SurgeXT VSTs via Ableton Live. (Recent impro). I really want to go completely dawless try improvising out the apartment, and I'm really interested in falling into ambient/melodic techno rabbit hole, so the deluge seemed a great choice. I've never used equipment like this before. I probably won't be using the SWAM libraries again unless I get an ipad, which should happen someday once I pay off the current splurge.

What attracted me to the Deluge initially was the wood, no joke. It turns out I'm not the only Linnstrument owner who magpie'd towards the Deluge due to the wood sides. I'm watching them make choices about other synth modules based on wooden aesthetics. lol.

Hondo Professional H-1030 from 1979/80. Made in Japan by Matsumoku. It's got serious play wear and a broken coil split switch tip, missing a couple screws in the pickups, but so far it plays pretty good.

While im waiting for modules to become available / arrive for my current racks, Ive decided to bankrupt myself by starting a mutable instruments rack. Most of these modules will be clones with official face plates but some are factory (plaits, beads, stages, one of the ripples). I've already bought all the face plates (except for kinks :( the store i was gonna get it from went down for vacation or something).

Haha nice! I’ve been waiting to see someone snag those, my friend is way into the TE stuff but those were too niche for him to get.

You gonna do any little recordings with them? Really curious how they all work together.

I found this marked down to $349 at GC. They had two like this and both played very nicely, but this one played just a little bit nicer.

Guild OM-240CE. I'm not sure how it compares acoustically against higher priced guitars, but I am sure that this one just plays bsmoothly with nice low action without fret buzz.
Also I do love that it's parlor sized (and still 25.5" scale)









It shows some evidence of cheesy construction, like this sticker pretending to be a pick guard.

So for a product that costs $ah gently caress, the documentation and technical information that TE gives you is laughably thin.

But putting them in a circle around you and having them sing the built-in songs is pretty magical.

Today's project is beating my head against a rock until I can get Windows bluetooth to talk to them so that I can control them through my DAW.

Hondo HD910 that's refinished natural, replaced bridge, tuners, pickup rings, but still has its original Dimarzios



A beater Harmony H80-7T strat copy, made in Taiwan



And a CNZ Audio Tele thinline copy that plays surprisingly well and was $100 at the pawnshop.

After berating a seller for almost a week to make a time frame, I picked up a Matt Freeman Squier in vintage white that I have wanted for a long time. Like quite a long time but not paying $800 usd on Reverb long time.
