Boss SP-1 is very useful for what it does, which is one thing, but it does it better than anything else. YMMV

I thought Kramer owned Spector in the 80s until some Russian conglomerate bought them then it went to Stuart Spector again.

I have an old Lexicon with the LARC. I'm embarrassed to say how many times D Verb (free) ends up on tracks out of laziness. Waves make the H Reverb, which is most likely on sale for under $30 at any given time, and it's shockingly great if the time is put in to fully understand its potential.

I don't have a D-28, but I have a D-41, which is similar. The 41 records pretty good with the right mics and eq. I like a U-87 and an Earthworks QTC through APIs (pre and eq). I've found Gibson large bodies record better. I have an old J-45 (62) and Hummingbird (68) and it's just stick any mic...

I put a mini-split in. It's the best investment I've ever made. The heat pump has a dehumidify mode but I don't use it. I have a dehumidifier I bought on Amazon. It has a pump in it so the water can be sent up and over the wall to my studio's bathroom to drain. It's the only app controlled...

^ That's what I'm doing. I have the XLR patch through. It usually runs to a snake, but I can unplug the snake and use it right in front of my rack if needed. It's very convenient this way. As for ribbons, I've only seen a ribbon damaged by Phantom when a cord was wired incorrectly. Still a good...

I always assumed there were Altec monitors there. What were they using?

It's common, just modified. Someone took a fretless, added some frets to a part of the neck, and changed the pick guard. It's cool because it's something the player did for a reason. That looks to be a '69 neck so it would have been the first year Fender offered a fretless bass.

I play slide guitar and lap steel. When I was in college (Berklee) I was fortunate to study with Mike Ihde for a semester. I got a few lessons on pedal steel from a true master. It's not something I had the time to get into, but it's something I would love to do. Maybe when I retire. A friend...

I have two 96pt tt patchbays. I have one of the ART XLR passthrough panels for my mic preamps. This way, I can plug a snake into the front of the panel or run XLR directly. I don't like having preamp inputs on a patch bay because of the Phantom. Not usually an issue, but I have seen it go bad...

The glass allows you to maintain lines of sight.

It's super affordable when you consider what comes with it. 4- API preamps 2- API 527s 2 API 550As 16-channel summing mixer API master section For the price, it's a no-brainer. I'm selling all my outboard preamps now (aside from a pair of 312s) because I don't need anything else with the 4...

I have The Box, which I would recommend to everyone. It has VUs on my master buss.

I don't think the console is a Soundcraft. Soundcraft made rackmount meters and I believe that's what you're seeing. It kind of looks like a Trident, but I don't think it is. Knobs don't look right for MCI, but I could be wrong.

I have a couple of little Behringer inline boosts that work fine. I have another one I got for free from Vine that's nice as well. I forget the brand. I think the B ones were about $30 each a few years ago.

Make sure to take advantage of the education discount.

I bought a dehumidifier with a vertical pump in it. I snaked the hose up a corner and into the ceiling, and it drains into the sink that is in the bathroom next to my studio. It's the one smart appliance I like. It's energy efficient and keeps it about 45-50% humidity year round. I have a...

I think a lot of it depends on the mic and vocalist. I've had nice results with mine.

Amazon doesn't pay for reviews. The Vine program is offered to people who write detailed reviews that get a lot of 'was helpful' type of feedback. I had reviewed almost every product I received from Amazon for over a decade and was invited to participate. There's no penalty for writing bad...
