You’re not wrong. I have one friend that is not a musician in any way, but he’s amassed an enormous modular rig. He takes a more scientific approach and likes to create audio representations of mathematical concepts. Part of why I love synthesizers is this math/music bridge. We can learn more...

Yes, tons of fun. Back in the day, synthesizers.com had an entry-level package. $100/month for 1 year. At month three, they sent the chassis, power supply, and an oscillator module. Then each month, you would get one more module. It was flexible, I was in college on a tight budget, and they let...

That is a great setup. Microkorg, HD24, and the Masterlink- Those were some of my faves that I used all the time. Don’t have ‘em anymore though.

My main squeeze

A compressor with a treble boost could be nice on a dobro

Feel free to leave as-is @mayfly , but there is an option to put it in a formatted code block for legibility

Yeah, I was considering that- I would love for this particular issue to not happen again. I appreciate the comment, their “2nd option” to do a full engine replacement had me spiraling.

Car ownership. The other day I start the engine and a freaking pullrod gets destroyed. So far, $500 deep on diagnosis. For the next step I have two options. Another diagnosis for $2000 to check for lifter or camshaft damage. And then if there’s camshaft damage a potential engine rebuild. Or a...

I’ve never given it any consideration

Yeah, the PPCB DC ISO has been out of stock for a while. And I threw my last one into this year’s PIF! For a long time I used to plug wall warts into a power strip. No big deal for a tuner and a dirt pedal. But as I got into this hobby and built out a proper pedalboard, I switched to using a...

Yeah, I should probably stop building pedals in my kitchen!

Yep, chisel tip all the way. Also, I ordered my Hakko last year and got a coffee mug with it.

The Gibson Les Paul is too heavy.

Did you have to go through a freight service?

That is awful. I first developed tendinitis about 20 years ago. I can’t play classical guitar for more than 5-10 minutes without it being painful. I’ve done physical therapy 3 times for it now. It always ends up being tied back to an issue in my neck. It helps, but then the pain creeps back in...

You can put a jack on the nut on the inside of the enclosure to keep the jack from protruding as far out.
