oh man, what to say…  have been so swamped w/ great projects i haven’t made much headway in these here interweb parts…  lessee….  thanks to all the loyal, creative and patient customers who allow us to take care, revive, and reallocate their great tools into newly inspired catalysts for art.

a few things that come to mind….

Current projects include 2 more minimoogs, an arp 2600, 3 wurli’s, 2 rhodes, a cp70, and a whole stack of vintage PA amps that will soon become really creative guitar amps coupled w/ jeremy (sumo’s) great extension cabs!  sooo cool, pix coming soon.  And… some pedal mods including version 2 rams head muffs, well, muffs from all generations actually except generation 1…, rats (yes, rats, the keely mod is cool, do support mr keely), wahs of several vintages (troy, yours is the oldest i’ve seen yet.  the vox pedal on the crybaby body doesn’t fool me), superfuzz (my favorite pedal), mica tone, and a stack of expression pedal mods for memory men.  and hopefully memory women. other projects include Sequential circuits drumtraks, tom, 3 six traks, korg poly rebuilds (3),  an arp quartet for sale, and a vaunted moog eq that will hit the chopping block shortly.

will be shortly wrapping up 2 pairs of pm1000 racks, thanks rian, w/ DI and some cool custom stuff – then another 3 racks to follow for sale.  In that vein, 3 pairs of Telefunken v672 racks for sale, perhaps some telefunken v676’s, and definitely some Calrec racks (yes steve) for sale.  Below is a pair of altec 1220’s – w/ great input and output iron, they are totally discrete and run at high voltages… these were used on ‘here comes a big black cloud’ ’s last release, nice n thick.
