What better way to start the week than a new guitar showing up on a Monday morning? 🎸

The fact that this one was built in Japan by my favourite guitar manufacturer (ESP) only makes it more exciting! 🤤

Don't be fooled by the LTD logo, this 2013 Eclipse was actually built in the same Tokyo factory (and to the same quality standards) than the ESP "Standard Series" and E-II instruments, only cheaper, even despite its rarity...

Since job 1 is wiring the new house for CAT6, starting to research #DANTE. We want streaming and recording from the living room at least, controlled from the office.

We have hardly any legacy analog gear to integrate and don't plan to get any--we do have a crapton of UAD plugins (won in a raffle) so we're looking into Apollo hardware for the DSP--but we are starting from close to scratch. Any recommends for getting spun up on modern networked audio?

Next guitar that’s leaving the stable, a 2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard. It’s an anniversary issue (the original pick guard has anniversary on it) and it used the eTune system (which I almost immediately had removed). All the original hardware I swapped out is in the case, so if the buyer wants to return it to its original state they can.

A #GuitarPedals question for the #GearSquad around here: I have a Friedman BE-OD for my classic distortion and a REVV G3 for modern distortion. Both of these pedals are incredible but I've been wondering if there's a worthy third pedal to eventually add to my pedalboard to play with. Any suggestions? I mostly play metal.

I have been working on a DIY reactive load box with IR speaker simulation for playing a tube amp silently - akin to a UA Ox Box or Two Notes Captor X. I think it’s finally done! It was a lot of fun to make.

All the hardware and software are open source and there are extensive build instructions.
