Hahahaha, thanks! I bought it for $10 at a garage sale and when my Rhodes was in another room it was my only way to hear it. Now I have a bigger studio and I am not even using the Crate at all.

That tends to happen to those crate amps. I think my sister was given one and she gave it away. The only use I could see for one would be as a drink holder. Maybe to prop up one of those old console tv's lolololol

We could start a thread (on the crate forum) about the best uses for that amp lololololol. No actually its a great trainer amp.

I bought one of those for one of my friends who was given an electric guitar...or maybe it was an eclectic guitar...an old three pickup Yamaha. Anyway, the handle had been replaced by a handle from a clothing iron. Sounded real mean for it's size...I think I paid $20 for it and a cable.

OK, here's my little studio...

The Moog

The Dotcom, Moog and Oberheim

The desk (which doubles as my cat's favorite place to sleep...)

and a few things to bang on...

Alka, beautiful studio!

uhm...

nice studio, yes, but...

don't you feel the need of adding more cowbells?

It would improve your modulation possibilities

Very nice well rounded collection there. I like the matching congas/djembe.

What is the modular looking recording console?

Do you have the hand drum triggering envelopes and such?

Ozy; Believe it or not, I have a more than a few cowbells laying around somewhere. A few have more rust on them than I do....

One Halloween about 5 years ago, I wore 8 of them around my neck and went as Chris Walken.

Eric; The hand drums are Latin Percussion Giovanni series. Siam Ash wood, buffalo skins and really awesome tone. My favorites ever. The console is an old Mackie control with an extender on the left, a C4 on the right, and a M-Audio Radium keyboard controller in front.
I use the Handsonic as a hand drum midi triger through my Expressionist 8 channel midi>CV converter. I have both the Moog and DotCom envelope followers, but with only 2, its hard to mike up the whole kit. But I do sometimes use one on the requinto or the smaller djembe which have the crispest tones and are the easiest to get the most tones out of. I'm going to look into midi triggers early next year when I have a bit of time.

You know, my congas are TJ percussion and made of strips of plywood. They look like pirate pants. I have LP Matador Bongos, and I love those but not quite like some regular LP's or even some especials if you know what I mean.

For triggering, I think im going to try to get some contact mics hooked up to a bass drum and snare and perhaps those hooked to envelope followers will let you get dynamic. The envelope follower could then be inverted or multiplied then inverted and processing stuff like filters on your cymbals or toms, all controlled by the dynamics of your bass and snare. I think trigger delays would work even better here. I hope Moog builds some current model ones.

Nice setup!

Wow! Erick buddy, you got your Taurus! Congrats... looks amazing on it's own, let alone altogether in your setup

Just finished building a frame so my Eurorack modular can play nice with the Moogerfoogers. I'm still waiting for Moog to release another CP-251 style unit to fill that hole.

I also have a Little Phatty that wasn't around for the photo shoot.
