Dandolin's Bottomless Gear Question Bar
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 4:36 pm
So many stupid, pesky gear questions; I'm gonna put a few in here rather than proliferate frog-mold-spore threadz that spark an amphibian apocalypse.
First--can anyone recommend a decent (compact) (cheep) midi sound module that does a variety of cheezy combo organ sounds? Kind of like a Yamaha Reface YC without the keyb and the flat-crazy pricing? Not as interested in the fat, grindy Hammond tones (although I might occasionally want to use one ironically); the cheeziar the sleeziar the bettar.
Second--what do people think of the Jomox T Resonator? It's knob array is whispering to me at night, taunting me with emulated knob tweezin' succubi. Is it as mind-blowing pitch-black-lake-below-Mordor deep as it seems? I want something that will suck my consciousness out of this shit reality and buff my index finger and thumb to Titan proportions with all the compulsitweaking. Maybe the answer is just that obvious? Also, can it be tweaked into self-generating synthdom?
Third--What about the EHX Black Finger and Tube Zipper? Are these fat and lofi sounding, easily adjustable to inexplicably crappy sounding levels in time-honored EHX tradition? Will they serve to make my baritone/bass VI sound flubby and unnatural to the extent that they seem like crude simulations devised by a bored superior intelligence that didn't have the interest or milliseconds necessary to design something more faithful to the original? This one is crucial--I need it to please my robot overlords enough to distract them while my alien lover infects their operating system with a rad trojan.
Fourth--At what point, if ever, does the construct of bullshit collapse under the relentless totality of virtual "fact" circulating in this etheric realm (outside the precincts of ILF, of course)? Please relate your answer licitly to gear and the purchase thereof.
No, really.
Thankee!

Seriously. Point well taken.
$$$$$$$$ and they ain't going there. Seems like I hit a conceptual dead spot. VST world is looking more appealing.
