Like Xmas around here today - 4 new pieces of gear!

[Robert]

Ahh, what a day!

1. I get an incredible strap delivered. Our own otaypanky (Brookwood Leather) made it, and it's a freakin' beauty. Fantastic! Pics to come.
2. I get an interesting book I have been looking for and I ordered it used a while back and forgot about it.
3. The latest Line 6 Pod Farm 2 and the stomp box packs are installed - it's also incredible what amazing tones are in this stuff. Will make some attempts at video of this ultra-uber-cool software! Sounds kick butt good.
4. I get a new audio interface delivered! I got it off of Kijiji and it wasn't local, so I paypal'd him and he wasn't returning emails immediately, so I got nervous. However, it was delivered today too, and it looks like brand new (although it's a year old). What is it then? It's a quality audio interface for Mac computers, called Apogee Duet.

What a day! It's too warm here to be Xmas, but I'm starting to wonder. :what I thought I heard Rudolf sneeze.

Hey, cool. I have heard of that Gio interface and thought that looked interesting for using the effects within Garageband or Logic. http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/gio.php

I had not heard of Apogee before.

Apogee make some good quality stuff for Mac users. This is what I have -

Looks like we need to make you the Sr. Vice President of The Fret GAS Division! :master

Looking forward to any video reviews/demos, and be sure to be using the new Brookwood Leather strap.

I plugged in the Apogee Duet last night, and holy cattle - it sounds incredible! I mean, just listening to iTunes, the sound through my speakers were way better than before. Why didn't I get this a long time ago? Slap me!
I haven't recorded with it yet, but I am very eager to... it's also small and firewire-based, and it gets all its power from the computer, so no extra power supply needed. Software controls the input/output sliders, etc - the hardware is very simple as a result - just one big wheel for output volume, and breakout cables for connection. It rox!

Rob lemme guess....you are on first name terms with the postman, you guys have coffe everyday and a piece of cake because he visits every day? *lol*

Congrats on the new toys. I love the smell of new equipment but won't call this a fetish :happy

 

[Robert]

I got one more yesterday... a new battery for my laptop! Plus I got the Kirk Fletcher and Wayne Krantz albums - sweet!

Merry Christmas Robert!
I envy you. I've been waiting overly long for a couple of amps (currently stuck in customs) and my first self-designed "Hell Guitars" t-shirt (currently god knows where). Maybe, if today is really Christmas, they'll both arrive today!

Just noticed that you posted yesterday. Guess it's not Christmas afterall. Rats...

 

[syo]

Xmas indeed! The amps arrived!

Xmas indeed! The amps arrived!

Well...

Well...

Wow Tig. For a minute there I forgot all about the amps. I found myself, um... moved by your kind wishes. Thanks!
