That natural coloured neck-thru on the right reminds me of a very similar (or the same?) looking guitar I borrowed from a friend soon after I started playing guitar (I only had an acoustic then). Some old Japanese made guitar from the 70’s that I think said ‘Memphis’ on the headstock, that was his dads.
I’m also left handed so I played it upside down but strung lefty. I liked it, I wanted to buy it from him but he wouldn’t sell it.
Talk about a blast from the past (for me), that was probably 20 years ago

Mine is a Harmony from the 70s same era when Gibson was suing everyone (Memphis was one of them for sure) my dad traded some tools to a pawn shop to get me this guitar when I was about 12.

I really like the DBI. It's a lot of fun and I think pretty intuitive. It's really easy to get a beat set up and then extend and layer. It's also easy to just set up a quick beat to play bass over. The FM drum is a lot of fun, too. I really like hardware even though I know it's more limiting than software. I'm a tactile guy, I guess.
The distortion is pretty tame but I think it can change the feel of it enough to be useful. But yeah, it's not going to get you anywhere near NIN. I actually haven't used any pedals on this, which is kind of embarrassing to admit! I've used a lot of them on the Microbrute, but getting some grit on those drums is a great idea and I'll have to do that.

Here's a terrible picture of my current studio/office space:
I took it in November and it's a bit more organized right now and you can actually open the keyboard stand lid. We are in the process of renovating a townhouse where I will have an actual music room in the basement. Can't wait!

I've got that one too
. Really eyein the microfreak these days, especially now that they've unlocked the vocoder functionality via firmware update...I'll probably end up selling my novation mininova. It's vocoder stuff is balls anyways.A good gated fuzz on the drumbrute will get ya right into year zero territory.
Part of why I'm trying to clean and organize...I built that desk over a year and a half ago so I'd have more space for my keys. It's...ah...been co-opted by other science experiments.

Well I finally did it, I got my studio clean enough to take pictures (at the repeated request of my wife).
And if you're going to ask "do the acrylic drums light up?" The answer is you bet your sweet arse they do.

Here's my music cave. Sorry about the distorted angles, did a panorama on cellphone to get the small room all in a picture... no it is not curved amp and stompbox enclosures. Lol...
This will all be gone in about 6 months or so, packed up and going into a new music room in a new place. Excited about that too, and I thought I better take photos and post it before packing up.

You all seem to be very clean and tidy. In a different style :
that's 90% of my effects (the rest is with family and friends). You are looking at diy shelves, so I don't always have to get down to adjust some control. I always play sitting on a chair. I just finished modding a CH-1, and before that, a second Flintlock build.
: more effects under the table (I always forgot them)
Some instruments, 2 guitars, a bass and a drum machine (chimney is blocked with bricks, but the sound still pass through two levels of apartments...hence the wooden plank, as a poor attempt to get some peace of mind)
Amps on the right (bass & guitar amp) :
Left (same) :
Under the left amps, a led connected to the intercom, to know when friends or neighboors are knocking on my door (not really efficient) :
And there is a nice studio smell in the air...probably from the amps.

It’s been over a year or more since I have had a proper set up. This is definitely not the final arrangement but I was so excited to start unpacking the fun stuff and start setting up…. Contemplating setting up my work bench in here too
