Are you willing to share with me any info on your gear used in your music? I am in the process of building my bedroom studio and I would welcome any advice/opinion on any piece of sound gear. Of course, I wouldn't mind to tell you about what I've got so far... :-) >> Nope. I'd love an Eventide device but they are much beyond my budget. I've got quite a lot of stuff but it's been aquired over a long period of time (not all at once). Buying even a low-end Eventide would problay be a quick way of winding up in divorce court. My signal chain starts with a Duncan equipped Gibson RD Artist guitar with a Roland GK-2A hex-pickup connecting me to my trusty old Roland GR-1 guitar synth. From there it goes to an ART SGE-2000 Express, Big Briar Moogerfooger, a pair of Boss RPS-10 pitch shifter delays, 2 Lexicon Vortexes, an Alesis Microverb III, Emu Proteus III, Rocktron 12-channel mixer and 2 Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pros. I also use a little Akai S-20 phrase sampler to play various stored ambient or rhythmic samples*. Along with a Marshall 8008 power amp this more or less fills my 12-space rack. I play in stereo through 2 pairs of Seymour Duncan 1x12 cabs. I play fingerstyle with Ernie Ball metal finger picks and sometimes with as many as 2 ebows. *I create these samples with a combination of other tools/instruments including a Lakewood acoustic guitar, a Yamaha DJX keyboard, a Casio MIDI Horn, an electrified kalimba (or m'bira) and a Turkish instrument called a cünbüs (kind of a mandolin/banjo hybrid that never plays in tune) and various computer programs on my Mac including Hyperprism, Groovemaker and Rebirth. Boy that looks like a boatload when you list it all out like that. Anywho, I hope that was helpful. Now it's your turn... Ted
