I’ve been really liking the new slider version, doesn’t feel cramped at all to me and feels great to use.
I just use it as a final stage mixer in my little system, being able to get interesting crossfades using just 1 cv source is really really nice in a small setup as well.
It’s really great!

I still have mine, but it lives in a drawer… how are you using it?

Hooray another mandolin player! I’ve been working my way through this:
It’s a great resource and I definitely recommend it. My biggest tip (with learning anything), but somehow I need to repeat it to myself. Practice everyday, even for 15mins. I guess it’s more true with steel string fretted instruments, for the callouses.
Second tip. Get these picks (https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/wetrgupiseto.html). They absolutely make it easier to play, especially when trying to get up to speed. They may seem expensive for picks, and well, they are, but mandolin picks are weird and they’re hardly the MOST expensive.

Thanks, that site is going to be really helpful! I was trying to learn from a book and immediately realized it wasn’t all that clear on posture and hand position.

Been teaching myself acoustic instruments for three years straight so I totally get the humility thing. It’s so so rewarding though after like a year of practicing every day. My recommendation is just masking tape on all the notes you want to play (though I guess you already know the note positions).
I could never play mandolin though (the strings are so tense!). Prefer me a uke.

I use it simply for listening to tapes or occasional tape loops.
ahh how can one not appreciate that sleek metallic goodness of squareness and digital display:)
I use “endless cassettes” that I buy online and I record my own sound material on it.
Nothing fancy

My love, my pedal case. Lives beside my modular and provides most of my broken tones. Space is on my mixer send and will be moving out on its own to make room for more ezhi&aka and Seppuku.

After a long journey of buying and selling modules I sort of settled for this little ER-301 setup and an Analog Rytm mk2. I just switched my Three Sisters and Mangrove with the TSNM for full playability, but I might switch back if I miss the analog Mannequins flavor. Also I may venture in an extra effects skiff to compliment the setup but so far it’s been pretty satisfying

I love the road-worn look of this case.

Totally fake, it’s brand new 
. I put a nice layer of black instrument case lacquer on it, didn’t like it, pulled out my sanding machine and gave it a make over. I have done the same with all my other cases now, it’s my case building signature

Haha, excellent. I would say that’s worked very well.

Who needs fancy microphones and mic stands when you’ve got a SM57 and a book with a beanie on top?
Me, I guess.

Very small workshop with Suzanne Ciani. Here she’s talking about how she configured her smaller Buchla system for touring.
She has some really nice stories and things to say about working with Don (@zebra)
