I have a EA Supercollider 71 incoming and let me tell you I am H Y P E D

[Paul_C]

I wanted an OWL awhile back but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I'd love to hear your findings later and if you enjoy it.

I will update once I've learned a little more - the owner has sent me a PDF with most of what I need to know on it, which will be a huge help even if it's just how to get to all the patches !

There are only four "user" patches, which can be replaced, the other 36 appear to be permanent, which might save me from getting too confused.

Had a saved search on Reverb for the longest time for a Supercollider. And for a Badascan. Never got either Seems like they’re more rare now that they’re not making either, and owners must like them enough to hold on to them rather than flip.

^ If you can deal with the inevitable ~6-week international shipping delay ( ) there's a Badascan for sale in Sydney

Yeah that actually renewed my interest (when it showed up on my Reverb emails) and I debated seeking out some PCBs to build myself a similar clone.

Speaking of building dual pedals (and this is totally the wrong thread for it) has anyone built a dual Klone + Muff pedal?

They're still being made afaik?

TIL x 2. Thank you!

My brother sent me a Portastudio 424 his neighbor gave him - his choice of packing material was a bunch of empty La Croix cans. Can't imagine what USPS thought they were transporting but it seems to have worked as well as bubble wrap.

[frodog]

LOL, that's awesome! Never heard of that packing method before. I had a 424 but it took a fall and broke the tape drive mechanism. Gave it to a buddy to use as a mixer, as I have two working 4-tracks.

A few recent used buys: AKAI AEM75 mic with optional built-in weird, metallic echo/reverb (runs off one AA battery); 17" Zildjian K Custom Fast Crash; 10" Meinl Byzance Dark Splash.

Took a gamble on some Drum Nutz instead of regular wingnuts, they fit both 8 and 6mm stands (which mine are). I think they're supposed to be attached to the cymbal itself but I like 'em this way. Also got a Tama die-cast hoop and tension rods for my 13" tom (Remo Diplomat reso head incoming).

I'm taking a week off work, and I plan to empty some cans - any requests? Free shipping in NA

[jirodreamsofdank]

Just layers of cans filling the box some crushed and some un-, with a 424 in a trashbag nestled in the middle. I asked him if it was a joke... nope, just the only thing on hand.

I'm lucky he doesn't like beer, probably. Bottles of Jack wouldn't be feasible packing from a weight perspective.

These guys showed up over the past few days:

Built what will be my standard/go-to pedalboard:

Didn't take a picture of my other pedalboard, but made some noise with the Superego Plus:

There are new ones on the website at least, in the smaller enclosure, but no EU shipping. With this guy I actually messaged him and asked if he could ship to Sweden and he said yes. https://reverb.com/se/item/34823148-ear ... lider-fuzz

Someone shipped a 1978 P bass to me wrapped in a bin bag and a little bit of cardboard with a plastic flowerpot over the headstock (no gigbag or case).

As it was a P bass it arrived looking pretty good, considering.

This is why I need to remember to ask how they’re shipping instruments before buying.
