2023: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2023)

[SHall1000]

Just announced. Been waiting for this since the other 200 series pedals came out. Think the combination of size and features + stereo will work well with my synths and at the end of my growing eurorack. Like that it works on AA batteries too.
May have to wait for the price to come down The others in the series like the delay are 2/3 the price..

Hopefully you bought it for less than what Doepfer will be charging for a new re-issue that uses the SSI2144 (modern equivalent from Sound Semiconductor).

£90. Cheapest I’ve seen it with the 2044 chip.

That's a fair price.

I’m lusting after a MatrixBrute, and still not loving my Subsequent 37, so I think it’s time to make the swap…

[DaniZzz79]

I got:

- Steven Slate VSX headphone system (dope )
- Elektron Octatrack mk2 (dope*dope )
- Crumar Trilogy synth/strings/organ from '78 (superdope dontellanyone )

I wanna buy a Polybrute but for some reason my seller hates me

Just drove 3 hours round trip and a like new Matrixbrute is now in da house! Pics to come later, time to get my filthy hands all over this beast…

Congrats, I’ve been listing over those for a longtime. I just don’t have a space for one.

[WatchTheGuitar]

I have enough space, just, but not for having it upright which would kind of defeat the purpose of having the thing.

I nearly bought one, but the price kept going up and up. Superb piece of gear, will look forward to some sounds.

I made a plastic dust cover for mine

Are they the same covers that you use for the bodies?

I'm selling my Subsequent 37. I've been trying to convince myself that I like that synth for far too long now, but it just isn't the right synth for me. I also sold my Analog Four mk2 to free up space and inputs for a Trigon 6 module. I've been lusting over that one for a while now, and your constant posting about it did nothing to dissuade me, dammit!

Love the dust cover! I'm probably going to order a cover from DigitalDeckCovers later this week. They make one for flat and one for upright orientation. I assume I'll keep mine in the upright position, but I'll give it a few days before making a final decision.

Bought a Zorlon Cannon mkII. At first I thought the price was a bit high, but after looking around... it's actually well below what some folks have paid for it on Reverb. I just miss it a lot and there aren't any close equivalents. That'll go in the place where I've got the Alan/Enigma/Morcom.

Nice! I feel like the mk2 modules hit a good sweet spot. I've had almost every Harvestman/IME module at some point and mk2 Hertz Donut, Piston Honda, Tyme Sefari and Zorlon Cannon are all keepers. I still really like my mk1 Hertz Donut too but it's not racked at the moment (for the first time in like 12 years!).

[foosnark]

Hertz Donut mk2 was a definite favorite of mine (thus the profile pic here). With Shapeshifter I don't really miss it too badly, but do I have fond memories!

Tyme Sefari was such a cool design, I just wanted it to be slightly less lo-fi at the max sample rate.

I've never had Piston Honda. I was on the lookout for a mk1 for a while, but I more or less gave up since they aren't the easiest thing to find.

Kermit is great, I know it's primarily supposed to be an LFO but it has such a neat dusty sound at audio rates.
