2022: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2022)

[kritikon]

a stand for the desktop synths.
another steel shelf.
lots of rubber feet.
2 more surge protected 10 gangs.
cables.

You're going to find it hard walking on rubber feet. I imagine lots of falling over and wobbling will be involved.

But back to the subject.

Korg Op-six
Behringer Monopoly
Possibly a Behringer mod303
Behringer MS20 thingy
Some kind of small mixer

Are you aware of these.

Might be pricey shipping from UK but I can vouch for the quality.

Minor 49 might work for me, but yeah, the shipping hurts given the reasonable looking prices for the actual stands.

In 2022, I plan to start building a modular setup with a 420hp eurorack case.

^^^ welcome to the machine.

[foosnark]

a 420hp eurorack case.

All toking... I mean, joking aside, I think that's a great size to start with. I expect most people who start with 60 or 84HP wind up with another case very quickly (unless they have a laser-focused plan and an iron will, or a couple of semi-modulars, anyway).

ooh that tower b looks good for the make noise stuff.
cant go for the one justin got for the same reason you cant do this, postage and customs kill the deal.

[pekbro]

This one is nice (not cheap tho), dunno about shipping to the UK from the Netherlands, I notice Andertons has the LOCI stands as well, not as nice but quite a bit cheaper with free shipping to vurt.
LOCI are not specifically for Make Noise, adjustable though.

- An analog poly. Korg Prologue / Prophet 6 / UDO Super 6. One of those probably, tho I'm mostly leaning towards the Korg.

- Hairball Audio 1176 DYI. I know next to nothing about electronics, but it comes with detailed construction manual... I'll probably fck it up anyway, but learning how to build a unit like that makes me stupidly excited, so I'll try it anyway.

[chaocrator]

What do you hope to acquire in 2022?

gear in production:
— IK Multimedia iLoud MTM — since i still don't have any proper monitors, using my rehearsal speakers (that are decent, but improper anyway)
— RetroKits RK-006 — spare one … or two. this piece of gear quickly became a critical part of my live rig.
— JoMoX MBase 11

gear not in production yet:
— Korg Drumlogue if it will be released next year.

I recently bought this Westfinga version2 highpass filter, which is based very closely on King Tubby's own well-known filter that he designed and used to sweep hi-hats sounds, in particular, during many of his dub reggae tracks.

Admittedly, it is only a high-pass filter.
But it does sounds good and Westfinga are a well-reputed company (run incredibly by one dub-loving bloke, I believe).

I'll be using the filter alongside my Vermona VSR spring reverb (which makes good 'bad' noises when you tap it)

I didn’t know about the Drumlogue, but if it is 2022 then I think I’m in.

I built a pair of FET500s and they sound fantastic. So much character! The build is a little challenging. Lining up the LEDs was a bit of a struggle. But it was a very rewarding build. Their preamps are also top-notch.

[justin3am]

This will be hard to resist, lol

[justin3am]

I’m also relatively certain that a Cocoquantus and Plumbutter are in my future. Maybe not in 2022 but at some point.
