New Gear Days.

It's been a while.

First of all, I picked up an old Ibanez PH5 Phaser, in the soundtank enclosure.

Not-mine-google-photo:



I really like it. I got it for $15. I can get some pretty good rotary speaker sounds out of it. It totally colors my sound when engaged, but I don't know if it's such a bad coloring. It's main use is going to be for some reggae scratching and occasional atmospheric rotating speaker sounds. It sounds fantastic for a $15 pedal, and my only real complaint is the sketchy on/off switch.

I also got a Boss DD-7 about a month ago that I never posted about. I like it. I mainly use the Analog mode, and the dotted 8th at church for some of the modern praise stuff, and I use the short 50ms mode for some really good slapback playing. Overall it's nice. I like the tap-tempo feature, but in all honesty I don't know if I really NEEDED to upgrad my DD-3. I may end up downgrading at some point. I just don't use delay all that much, especially with syncopation.

And now for my newest gear purchase, and my current favorite piece of equipment:

Tascam US-1641



For a long time I was using a Gina Echo card with only one working input. It sounded good, but this thing totally kicks its butt. It's USB, and I can simultaneously record up to like 12 inputs or something like that. I can finally start recording my band's album correctly. It sounds good, and with my computer that has 1gb of ram, I had no problem recording three inputs at once so far with a low latency. I'm probably going to mount it in a rack with a power amp and a mixer and take it to band practices, and pump the sound system through that, and record practices and such.

Possible soundclips to come, since I have total capability of it now.

Seems like you acquired a decent amount of gear recently. Of course, so have I, but I haven't posted anything.
