A musical Christmas?

31-12-2011 7:07pm#1Somewhat surprised at the lack of 'What did Santy bring?' thread knocking about somewhere so I thought I'd kick it off.
Electro Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai was in the stocking, absolute beaut of a pedal, I could literally spend hours tinkering with it.
My Belcat DC Power Brick was meant to arrive on Christmas Eve but due to a substandard courier service, it graced me with its presence a few days late. More of a necessity purchase as opposed to a fun one.
How'd ye all fare?0

Well jealous of the SMMwH!
I got a Novation Launchpad!
It's deadly fun, jamming on my laptop is properly jamming now. When I get some time off studying I'll crack it open in Pure Data and have some real fun with it.
Here it is in action if anyone's interested :pac:0 -

It happens! I'm constantly forgetting things like that. I'd a pile of PC stuff hiding in the Mother's house too that I clean forgot about, and a practise amp. This was in a flightcase, buried at the back behind my cars and behind my toolchest.ednwireland wrote: »probably hasn't been into the east wing for a while

Savage! I love my one. What are you using it for?
They're so much fun.
Currently, I'm using mine for effects via Guitar rig, and as a controller for cubase.
But, in the future I'll be using it for live control of vocal effects, an Amp Gizmo, and a DMX controller, in different live situations. Gotta get me the UNO firmware though.
And you?0 -

Got a Mandolin. Been eyeing one for a few months and the missus was going to source one through a friend of her mother through Ceoltas, but I found out a suggested she let me order the one I wanted. It's a Loar lm-300. Sunburst, nitrous finish. Very nice. Never even held one before, but I suspect it'll far exceed my needs in a mando.

Just fiddling around but I really like it. I think I'll persist with it. I suppose I really have to, considering:)
I put a bit with it and got a case, strings, mando strap, a nice Fender Tweed guitar strap and a set of Gibson Brite Wires for the Les Paul. And a clip on tuner but I think it's knacked already. Still, cost less than a fiver and I have a Korg one somewhere. Just use the iPhone most of the time.
Myself and the family chipped in together and bought my brother a Ludwig Acrolite snare as well. He uses my old Pearl Export kit instead of his own (Sonor) but was using a cheap Sonor snare. The Ludwig really is the business.
That's a lovely mandolin, well you may wear. Never had much experience with them myself, but I'd love to learn it at some stage. 0 -

It's a beaut in the flesh (wood?) alright. I had no experience whatsoever but I always loved the sound. Tuned in 5ths like a violin or a banjo (GDAE) so nothing from guitar translates. I'm finding the transition suprising easy though. Not having to concentrae on strumming or picking much means it's half the battle compared to a complete novice to stringed instruments. Originally was going to drop €150 or less on one, but as usual, even though I never played one, the interweb and slightly more expensive tastes led to that one. Highly reccomend the mandolin to any guitarist looking to try something new. Especially as the tuning lends itself to picking up the banjo or even the violin (to some degree) if one is that way inclined. Strangely satisfying sound when strummed open with no notes fretted
Actually it seems it may be a thin poly finish rather than nitrous. Looks much the same tbh and apparently a thin poly won't affect the sound the way a thick one does.0 -

And you?
Use it with Ableton mostly, for triggering samples and rhythm tracks while playing guitar. If you set up 10 patterns with no launch quantisation, you can get them going and properly jam on the drums while playing guitar, loads of fun
I did a bit of programming in Pure Data for it, to turn my Digitech Whammy Pedal into an arpeggiator, but that's taken a backseat for college and proper band work. No time for anything with exams

I got the UnO firmware, repainted mine black, and fitted phantom power. everyone always wonders what it is. The Mods are very worthwhile doing!
Pics or GTFO. :pac:
Was looking into the phantom power mod, but decided it would be of no great advantage for me. Seeing as I have a few other pedals that require power on my pedalboard anyway, one more cable doesn't hurt. Awesome mod though!Use it with Ableton mostly, for triggering samples and rhythm tracks while playing guitar.

Can't view that vid right now, but must check it out later.
Also, guys, do you notice a small "dead zone" on the expression pedals towards the bottom of the sweep? Not sure if it's just an issue with mine or not. No biggie though, I might just put rubber feet to make the pedal stop at the bottom of the sweep.
Sorry for dragging the thread off topic. :pac:0 -

Phantom Power switch so I can still power it off mains :
And the unit Painted Black. I since modified my GT-Pro to have a second power supply inside which can send the 9v down the MIDI port without any additional hardware outside. Looks mental when you just run the one wire down.0 -
