I don't want to confuse anybody with my lingo!

mortlock · March 16, 2019, 01:04:41 PM

Yo lumpy let me know when youre done with that rig and ill take it off your hands.

Lumpy · March 16, 2019, 02:59:24 PM

Right on dude. It's heavy, the head weighs 90 pounds! But sounds so good.

RAGER · March 21, 2019, 12:21:59 PM

To go with these

Lumpy · March 21, 2019, 01:03:02 PM

Some sort of Rucci oscillator device?

I really like these little drone boxes (I have one with two oscillators) but it seems like more bang for the buck, and more controllability, to buy an actual synth.

RAGER · March 21, 2019, 01:25:18 PM

All three on the right are Rucci jobs.

mortlock · March 21, 2019, 04:17:33 PM

is that for some sort of power electronics set up??

RAGER · March 21, 2019, 04:33:21 PM

It could be. I just do some bleeps and spaced out bloops.

mortlock · March 21, 2019, 05:22:03 PM

rager you should go to this although im thinking you probably don't live anywhere near buffalo ny. its going to be a power electronics tour de force. except my band who is the only actual band on the show.

Sounds fun but yeah I'm just outside Portland.

Lumpy · March 21, 2019, 07:37:22 PM

Plenty of BleepBloop shows in Portland, I'm sure.

Is Pulse Emitter from Portland? That dude is pretty great.

RAGER · March 21, 2019, 07:58:16 PM

Yeah Pulse Emitter is local. I've seen him at the noise shack a couple times way back.

I am acquiring new gear... a video glitch thing (low tech, which is fine for my needs). I want to start projecting video this year, maybe not all the time, but a lot more (I've done a little in the past). This one has a 1/4 audio input, which effects the glitching. I'll edit some footage and run it through this box.

Also, a small sound mangler which I found on Etsy (PLL and bit crusher type thing). And a couple of used stompboxes: Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown, and Mid-Fi Electronics Random Number Generator. I need more ways to mangle my ordinary synth tones. Crossing my fingers that these will be useful (it's a bit of a crapshoot).

Muffin Man · March 23, 2019, 02:43:05 AM

Very cool. Let uz hear some nuggets whenst prepared for consumption. I'm working up an angle on something, not noise per se, but not 110-piece orchestra, either.

Holy Ballz. Nice hardware.

RAGER · March 23, 2019, 08:36:19 AM

Oh there's more. Much more.

Lumpy · March 23, 2019, 10:00:47 AM

The Rucci units have 1/8th" jacks? Is that standard or optional?

RAGER · March 23, 2019, 10:20:44 AM

Audio jacks are 1/4" cv/sync I/O jacks are 1/8 so you can use with hipsterrack. My modular is large format like Moog.

Lumpy · March 23, 2019, 11:47:59 AM

Then I retract this comment.

RAGER · March 23, 2019, 12:33:57 PM

My six oscillator rucci drone box is busted. So I'm m sending it to him to fix and also add a cv in so that'll be fun.

Scarlett 2i2. This is a huge step up from the Guitar Hero USB Mic and Blue Snowball podcasting mic I have always used in the past. No, I don't have any proper microphones to plug into it, but I am curious to finally experiment with Direct In and see what Logic's amp and cab modelling is capable of.

mortlock · April 01, 2019, 11:55:52 AM

Been thinking about picking up an inexpensive fender p with a maple neck lately . Sometimes the thrill of the hunt is better than the kill and i dont want to buy it only to barely use it.
How do you guys who own more than one bass or guitar decide which to play at any given time?

RAGER · April 01, 2019, 01:59:54 PM

I have a bunch of guitars that are currently unplayable due to neglect and lack of playing. I've got two playable acoustics that I rarely play and two perfectly playable guitars. I mainly play my sunburst Les Paul but my Yamaha SBG is always ready to go if I want to play really high up on the fret board. By now I've prolly got more delay pedals than guitars. And I'm looking at another that I don't fucking need.

My dad handed me this a few days back, a 1963 Epiphone Professional an inheritance from my grandpa. I like to pretend I'm in a smokey bar jazz band or hook up a Boss distortion pedal. It has some odd quirkiness like the tremolo & reverb knobs are right in the way were your wrists needs to go. No ground so getting shocked is a fun little extra. The amp is controlled by the guitar and has no other knobs - just for standby, on/of.
