Anyone have solid, hands-on experience with the mic-parts 12-251 and V-47 tube mics? I'm thinking about picking up a kit, but there's just not a lot about them out there.
Ideal applications are vocals, drum OH and acoustic instruments.

So, I finished building a Classic API VP25 mic preamp a couple nights ago and thought I'd document the build process.
For those of you uninitiated, the Classic API VP25 is a 500-series compatible mic preamp which is firmly in the family of the old API 312 mic preamp. The Classic API site...
A set of four Fender Blue-label 16ohm ceramic speakers. These were pulled from a silverface Super Reverb and were made by the Rola company for Fender.
$250 shipped and paypalled.

Took a couple days off and put together this new tune. Here's a first mix.

I've already identified a couple things that need to be tweaked, but would love to know what y'all think.

I'm looking for another V77. If you've got one for sale for a reasonable price (or one you're not using that you might want to part with), drop me a PM.

I'm thinking about popping an NOS Mullard 4024 in my MXL 960. I think the mic sounds splendid as it is, but i'm sure it could be made to sound better.
Any of you have any experience with one of these?
At $22 from KCA they're pretty cheap (especially compared to what the Mullard 12AX7s are...

I've got a V-Amp 2 that i find i'm not using anymore. It's like new (beautiful shape). Comes with the padded bag, footswitch (never opened) and power supply. Works great. I just don't use it and it's taking up space.
Looking for $70, plus shipping. I do paypal (i'm verified), USPS...

I just "upgraded" to a Motu 2408 mk3 (to go with my existing 2408 mk2), so I no longer need my trusty Delta 1010. This is the rack-unit one, comes with power supply, PCI card and serial cable. I'll even throw in a cd with the latest drivers so you can be up and running.
It's in great...
Anyone out there play through one of these yet?
I gave one a run at my local axe shop and was completely blown away by both the tone out of this little amp and the sheer versatility of it. I think this could be a great recording amp. And at $250, it's practically disposable.
I've got one...
Rimage Prism Perfect Image Automation-Ready Thermal CD/DVD Printer, model CDPRS-13. This is the one that is automation-ready. It comes with the plate and screws needed to connect it to a robotic arm/ automated cd duplicator.
Working perfectly, in "like new" condition and prints great. Full...
1980's DW 5000 Double Kick Pedal
All--
I've got an older DW 5000 kick pedal that I find I don't use anymore. It works great--i just don't do the double kick thing much anymore. The only thing "wrong" with it is that the previous owner painted the silver housing flat white, which obviously...
I'm cleaning out more stuff that's sat unused for more than 6 months.
I've got a Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz that i never use. I forget how much I paid for it, but it had to have been around $100 or so. I'll let it go for $65 plus shipping.
They stopped making these in 1997.....so does that...
Comments, critiques? How's the mix, what needs fixing? Any parts that suck? ;)
As usual, waiting on our lead player to be able to come out and put down the lead.

I've got a Rane MS-1A mic preamp i bought here that i find I never use. It works great and comes with wallwart plug. I can post pics if you're really dying to see them. :D
$75 takes it. Price includes shipping in the US.

Would love some feedback on this one too. It's a good bit crunchier than the last, which should appeal to the lot of you. :p

Ok.....we've all seen the new Fender Custom Shop "relic" guitars.....where you spend $3K and you get a new guitar that looks all beat up (it's been "professionally relic'd). i understand the concept but not the appeal. whatever.
anyway......how do you end up with a blemished relic? how/why...
