Gasalcoholics anonymous? whoever said this was a help group?

[Ruiner]

Holy shit, why didn't I get notified of his Reverb shop rather than Duckfuck Corgan's?

Also, I'm surprised you didn't get that Roli there, Ruiner.

Already had one and sold it since I don't mess with software very much.

[waltdogg]

give me like one or two more days and i'll show this month's haul.

Filtertrons LOVE heavy strings, in my experience. I miss having a tone knob on my Cabronita but that's just me. What's the neck like on that re: chunkiness?

It felt fine for me and I play a lot of slim Fender style necks most of the time. I didn't take the time to compare it, but the whole design seems to be veered towards easy to play. I don't miss the tone knob, I never ever ever ever ever use it.

Nice. I like chunkier necks and keep looking for a Gretsch that has one, but they seem to be on the slimmer side for the most part. I like how clean the body looks with just that master volume on the upper bout.

I tend to like modern Strat style necks best. I had an older SG that was a fixer up (total tear down and refinish) that I had the neck carved down to get rid of a bad dent and make it a bit faster and loved that. I have wanted a guitar with just a kill switch for a long time. I honestly don't mind the pickups being a bit brighter for it, because I can just dial the treble back on the amp side easily, I pretty much never max out the treble on amps. I also use really dark speakers too (compared to something like a V30 or similar at least). If I can get around to making it ever, I have a body blank I made waiting, I'd like to put together a rat rod Strat, sidejack, with either a single master volume or a kill switch. Maybe just a rotary knob for a pickup selector or something. Black/black/maple preferably, to go with the P bass I built.

To be fair, I don't think Alessandro Cortini was really a creative part of NIN ever except live. He did record on a few albums but Trent wrote the material. So...yea. LOL. Not saying it's not cool, but I'd much rather have gear owned by Trent or Billy Corgan. I'd love to buy a pedal of Billy's but he has to sign it and rub his dick on it.

Oh i don't really care one way or the other. While i like the added mojo... this is just something i've been trying to get for many months now and always miss when he puts them up before they sell out and just happened he posted it and for the same cost as it is new i believe.

Just picked this up locally as a birthday present to myself!!! STOKED!!!!

I know dude. I'm just fuckin around.

I met the dude who makes those Swarmatrons at NAMM several years ago. He was super cool and crazy as hell. He told me all about how Trent had contacted him about creating that instrument and next thing he knew it was done and being used on his albums. He told me it was key to several of NIN albums, and I believe it after playing one. He talked to me and encouraged me to use his 3k plus device like it was a toy. haha. I'd love to talk to him again. He was like a mad scientist. If I ever can save up, that's a dream piece for me.

The funny thing is the NIN connection was tangential to my original interest in him.
I found out about him by accident because I liked SONOIO and Modwheelmood but didn't know anything about the artist other than the music itself.

Just bought a Boss RT-20 and am currently accepting suggestions for unorthodox uses of it.

Been interested in these forever, curious to see what ppl think

I'll let you know when it gets here. I plan on using it with guitar, voice, synthesizer, and bass.

Definitely sounds best with organ. Then guitar. Other instruments sound not too good through it IMO, but maybe it's just not my taste.

I'll let you know! I like recordings stuff other than guitar and organ through a Leslie so I hope this emulations does okay with it.

Also how did I miss this review before, it is excellent.

I mean...Cortini's solo stuff is incredible. His Forse series is what made me want to explore making music via synthesizers. It's not just about NIN...

[MrNovember]

Nice score Ruiner! I've been wanting one of those ever since I started obsessing over tape and cassettes (which you're partially to blame for that)

And yeah Cortini is much more than just part of NIN to me. I'm a huge fan of his solo work and he's one of the major reasons I got into synths in the first place.

[goosekevin]

traded my RM1N for an afterneath and some cash
realised the afterneath is ~~the sound in my head that i have for a few of my bands songs so hoping that it works out as well as it does mentally for me

still kind of want some sort of big muff for stacking with my rat king, team awesome is currently doing a good job but i feel like a muff might play nicer

[Ruiner]

Went back to Cortini's store and the Swarmatron is sold already for $6,666 Really a good thing because I was close to just saying screw it but that would have put me in a bad place financially... would have been cool to have the only stereo Swarmatron in existence though and with the FM mod.

Also someone bought the $25,000 Tree Audio The Roots console

The Synthi AKS is still there though... do want... but $16,000

[Invisible Man]

What's $16k? A new car? Psssssh. Do it.

Too late, I'm gonna do it right now.
