Strymon Brig delay.

I resisted buying yet another delay pedal but got sucked in for a couple reasons.

The first: A discerning recording engineer noticed some unflattering digi-grit on the longer echoes I had on my Boss DD6 during a particularly exposed part in a session. It put a bad taste in my mouth.

The second: Doing the bi-amp thing I gradually developed parts that are either shoe-gaze level swirl of long echoes, but also tight stereo slaps to subtly widen things. It turns out I'm way too old, blind, and distracted as a singer-guitarist to change delay setting between songs. I need my tight slap delay box, and my swirly psychedelic delay box.

The Brig is legit stereo, not just echoes pouring out of two jacks which I learned last time I bought a delay pedal is hard to come by (Earthquaker still hasn't made a delay that will ping pong, which is how I went back to the Boss). In fact they annoyingly only have one TRS jack. So my plan is at the end of the pedal board have the stereo out of the Brig with a Y cable, feeding the stereo ins on my Boss delay and then the respective outputs of the Boss go to different amps the way they currently do.

Just got a cool looking AKG D77 stereo mic that Cole Picks Vintage did up. It’s a dynamic AKG made sold under various brand names (here’s the Telefunken version on drums) that would have come with a tape recorder or something back in the day that Cole balanced and cleaned up.

I still need to sell a ton of mics I’m not using but have wanted a stereo mic for acoustic sources for a while. I’ll try to get a list together soon if anybody wants to buy some cheap audio technica mics so I can offset this.

For the last few years I was doing this I made it all work in mono or dual mono but lately I’ve been imaging this b up since I started LCR-ing everything.

Stumbled upon a used Orange Micro Dark on ebay for around $100. Sure, why not.

I'll admit I have a problem, but if you dangle an all-original early Greco Strat for half its value, I'm gonna bite.

Because I hate myself and love gambling, I bought of the Warm Audio Mystery Boxes™ from Reverb. It arrived today, and I got one of the lower-tier options, the WA-47jr. I guess I broke even. I was hoping for one of the ribbons.

I'd be really surprised if any of the boxes don't have JR's. I have a couple of 47 Jr. mics. They did a b stock 2 for one back in like 2021 and I took the bait. They are not bad. One makes a lot of noise for about a minute after you turn on Phantom but it goes away.

A friend got a U87 in one of those blind boxes.
