2025: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2025)

in todays video they showed some of the chaining function, where end of cycle, triggers next stage, rather than re-cycling itself. some pretty cool effects to be found there!

I do like the combined envelope/LFO thing going on with it that fakes a delay. But I just don't think I'm going to be convinced to replace my Just Friends, or to give up some other thing to make the space.

The NUSS core is 68 hp (Multiwave 24hp + Polimaths 20hp + x2 QXG 12 hp), then another 20 for the additions of Multimod and Jumbler, so 88 hp in total.

I know you’re not a fan of Jumbler, and I’m not either, but that could change once the others come. That’s a hope at least (since I already own it).

Either way, the point being that it’s a lot of space to shift around.

I’ve splurged a little, but I see it more as a late birthday present to myself than anything crazy.
Nice Yamaha bass (a BB735a) and an Ampeg preamp. Been wanting a better bass for a while to force me into learning how to play one properly.

From the department of cheap crap that I'm really happy with, comes this:



$70, $10 less without the bluetooth.

I am forever wanting to plug something audio in on my desk without going through a sound card, also, I want to have basic EQ on a stereo path, also, I want to zero sound with a quick non-computer interaction because I have multiple computers and a KVM on my desk and so it can be a pain if I get a phone call.

This sounds fine, is not noisy, at all. Also gives me bluetooth if I want to use a mobile device for sound, and a crossfader and 1/4" mic input and 1/4" headphone output in VERY tiny package. No, not Teenage Engineering tiny, but still. Very sturdy steel case. A quick swipe of the crossfader and my background music is silent.

Ordered a Korg NTS-3, a Rode M5 mic pair, and a 3-legged, 2-armed NEEWER T91 tripod stand thingy as the Whirrings video made it look quite handy.

(Plus a Bambu Mini A1 3D printer, but it might not be musical enough for some.)

Jelly right now. I'm on that edge of ordering more shop tools, it's just a strange time to try and buy the stuff that you might buy from importers in the U.S.
