2024: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2024)

[Uncle E]

Oooooh!

Do you ship to NZ? And will they fit on other synths? I haven't bought myself a Minilogue yet, but I already want one just to mod it with those knobs. Reminds me of some old 70s hifi gear I used to have aeons ago.

Yes, I can ship them to NZ. The only problem is the cost quadrupled after Covid. I'd be happy to sell them to you for my cost but even that is over $100.

Hmmmmm.
TBH it's frippery and I shouldn't even consider, but...shiney! Knobs!
Previously I never thought about modding that kind of stuff but I had a quick surf around. There are a few places to get all sorts of knobs - chunky 50s scifi knobs, shiney pink aluminium ones, plastic, see-through. Found this one https://lovemyswitches.com/knobs/?_bc_fsnf=1

Purple shiney knobs, oh my. I can make my synths so camp

[kritikon]

Now if I can fit some of those on my Monopoly...might even fit on an MS20

[Uncle E]

Knobs are cool. I just bought these for my amp:

[cryophonik]

Has a large knob.



Oh wait, this isn’t the Say Something About the Poster Before You thread

[kritikon]

Oh please...it's not large, it's enoooooormous.

Landscape Ferrous



A spinning magnetic thing for exciting steel strings, kalimba tines, etc. I've been wanting something in this category that works with bass guitar (unlike the ebow, which only semi-works), so I went ahead and preordered. Curious to try it with steel tongue drums, or just taping an appropriate piece of metal to a frame drum head...

that's a thing of true beauty!!

[elxsound]

Agreed, looks lovely. Would love to use one too. Not a bad price either.

I really love the info on how to use it.

The LED is a very thoughtful addition and would look great if someone was performing.

Over on Lines, bobbcorr pointed out "This would be wild on a spring reverb tank." So I may have to get a spring tank again...

Yeah it is. ... here I am, resisting it now, as I too have experienced "ebow, which only semi-works", particularly with electric bass. Man, this thing looks so cool!

[vurt]

yeah, im just talking looks, as cool as the idea is as well. its just aesthetically pleasing

Agreed. Emotes that Jules Verne 'Nautilus' vibe, for me.

I can very easily fabricate a small device with spinning magnets, of which I have a variety and plenty. I'll just add that to my list of 'round2its'.
