Birthday

Tags: Studio

Since my birthday is coming up soon, I thought I should put out a plea: no more socks! If I'm given any more socks I'll need a new wardrobe! Please instead give money (either to me or to charity) or even better, tools :-) Good quality percussion is always useful. Another cheap gift idea to keep me quiet would be a Lexicon M97 Survival Kit of spare parts. Other options (increasing in cost) are also available...

Phasers to die for

Tags: Studio

Maxon PT9Pro+ phaser pedal (not pretty but cool sounds)
Gerd Schulte Compact Phasing A classic phaser (or a JH clone)
MXR Flanger/Doubler 126 blueface 2U rackmount flanger
Roland PH-830 stereo phaser (if you can find one ;)

Oh, such sweet sounds, Captain! There are many other phasers/flangers available (+plugins) but they don't quite nail the glorious sound of these boxes, which just make you smile on hearing them. Do let me know if you've found one, at least to save me bidding against you on eBay... ;)
