@Paul @MikeC ok, here’s my shiny trinkets I was referring to.

Nice!

We should start a new thread: SOG - Send Others Gear.
Whenever anyone feels they are cured of GAS, they should go to SOG and send me some of their gear. That will result in more stable GAS levels.

You could try the SAG thread!

Edit: for some reason when I try to copy/paste the link to the SAG thread it changes to the GAS thread lol

It’s a vicious cycle.

But here goes:

No. SOG would be SEND others gear. “Selling” is a totally different thing. lol.

I am really gassing this:

Apparently the mini stills run the old software from the Ampero one. The Ampero II has the new software but bigger form factor

And bigger $ factor

Yeah, it’s just a bit silly that they didn’t used the new software in the mini (maybe they will update it, who knows). Personally I would go for the mini too! They are very cute

It is only available for pre-order here in the UK at the moment.
For the price ~£220, it is cheaper than many decent preamps.
I never had any multifx before. This one is the first that attracts me with its UI, touchscreen, price and form factor.

Another non bass object…

Before sax I played (and of course collected) trumpets. I only kept one from those days, a Conn 40B Vocabell, silver plated and art deco to the nines.

For about 15 years I’ve searched for other Conn horns with the same engraving and finally nabbed its 44H trombone sister. I played a tiny bit way back but bought it more for collection Vs playing. Needs a polish but the engraving is crisp and out of site.
