Once I’d taken to the Moog so much I’d thought the dark Rhodes/Wurlitzer sound was my next goal. I gathered that the Reface at $400 was the best option - if I have to spend over $1000 to get that sound I’d just as soon put that money into the real thing.

I saw him pimping those on IG a little bit ago. Interested in it.

If I get another alum, it'll be from FM CJury, but I like hearing how these all compare.

It's here.

Damn

Oh shit, this is yours! Saw it on David's IG yesterday!

Other than being a Strat, I give it 5 stars! (in Andy Daly's voice)

yup, there are certain standards that have to be upheld!

In less exciting news, I bought a table.

It’s a vintage Safelock projector stand. Anyone who’s ever worked a corporate AV job will have set up/broken down about 10,000 of these shits every year. Wanted to try something as a combo amp stand that isn’t milk crates and is probably more portable. These vintage ones have metal tops, while the ones you see at hotels/conference centers today are primarily all plastic, and because specialized industry equipment is as a rule dumb expensive it’s like $300 if you try to buy a new one outright. I’m lucky to keep it to one bill here.

I'm nearing another studio purchase in the next few months and I have to wonder if tarrifs are about to hit the mics and preamps market. Don't want to panic buy but I don't want to wait in order to pay extra.

Same preamp circuit as an SVT, but with a BJT output stage. I would have already smashed the buy button, but it's local pickup only. Looks like it needs a little bit of work to fix the mid frequency selector switch and a general cleaning.

I got it. Spent my lunch break driving 45 min each way to pick it up. Haven't done anything with it yet, but it's here.

I guess I need an 8x10 now
