The Boss Space Echo emulation pedal (RE-20) is not bad. I found one 2nd-hand for $150CAD. I also use a real spring reverb from an old Traynor P.A. head and run the output into a DI box before the mixer. The combination of saturation and verb I get from it is very nice! A buddy that I do live sets wi...

Lil Phatty is a great synth but the lack of knob-per-function bugs me.

I think the MS-20 Mini will be pretty cool but it is back-ordered so you probably won't get it for awhile!

Also they are very different ... What sounds are you trying to make?

i'm quite suprised that the shuffle modes are much different to the 909. they really aren't so different. maybe you have a bit more flexibility in terms of swing/quantization but it's not too important because ... when i play live i use my 909 as a master clock for my modular rig and i go between t...

I have a friend who plays live using a 707 as the brain/heart of his setup and it is totally groovy. an easy trick for getting a bit more...

The Adam F-series are somewhere between hi-fi speakers and studio monitors - not overly flattering, but the Yamahas will be more clinical The main thing about the F-series is that they use the same style of tweeter as other Adam monitors and *apparently* sound quite similar, but if you aren't famili...

Cool! Hopefully it sounds ok on the system. I always learn a lot playing my stuff out, but unfortunately I learned some bad habits from a very sharp system where I had my first residency and tend to mix a bit dark/bass heavy. In this case I wanted to make a rumbly and fairly subdued sound, nothing t...

this has been going over pretty well so far so I thought to share it here too
