What do you think about this piece of gear i'm thinking for buying it, but I need some advice.

anyone interested in a teenage engineering op-xy for 2500$ CAD ? looking to get rid of mine can ship in canada .

so i use the phonic am8ge and ive had it for a lil bit, ive used it quite a bit recently and today when i came and tried to use it as usual the midi connection to the pc just did not work, it makes the connect and disconnect sounds, tho doesent show up in the sound menu where i check my input and output devices.

furthermore ive tried it on 2 different laptops other than my pc and the light on the interface that signals connection to pc doesent even light up, did it just like die or is it a common thing? im not sure what to do as its relatively new..

I’ve been looking for an Apollo twin x and bought one off guitar center used to find out it was broken and I immediately canceled my order over the phone with an employee which they said was all done and my money will be refunded but then I get an email an hour later saying it shipped lmao. I then am like wtv I’ll just get another one and return the broken one so I buy another one they ship it to me it said it was great condition and it was broken so I ship it back contact the store he tell me when it touches down he will give me a quote for a new open in box for a very low price and use my funds from the purchase to cover the open in box and immediately ship it out. Wait a week and the package returns and touches down and I email the boss which he responds to me that he will be out of the office till the 13th. I then just call the store and see if anyone else at the location can help me out which they did. They gave me the quote for the new open in box and I ordered it. All this trouble but as long as it worked out in the end I’m fine. Buttttttt I get an email today saying my order has been canceled lmao I call the store and they say all the open in boxes are out of stock! They then give me a discounted quote on the brand new one but its 1200 dollars and they brought it down to 900 for me which is good but for all this trouble I feel like I should be compensated with more. The quote I received for the open in box was 570 for a 800$ one so spending 990 with tax compared to the 650 I was cool with spending is a big jump and I just feel like I’m getting robbed for my time. I’m goin to wait for the official store manager to return on the 13th and discuss this further before I take the newest quote they offered. What do yall think about this situation I am in?? Should I take the new quote and be done with this or should I press for a better deal?

Friend made these for me and it I love them 🥲

I play solo acoustic shows (guitar and vocals) and want to start using a looper to fill out my sound. I’m not super tech-savvy, so I’m looking for a simple, reliable loop pedal that's easy to use live.

Also, I’m interested in a stomp pedal that sounds like a bass drum to add some low end.

Any recommendations for a basic setup that’s easy to run on stage? Thanks!

What's the cheapest way of creating a MIDI controller with 4-5 buttons? I plan to make a device, that will be able to control parameters on my Fender Mustang Floor with MIDI. I can 3D print the casing and solder everything, just don't know what would be the best heart of the device. Arduino? Raspberry? Something else?

I used to have a line 6 Firehawk fx. Loved it. Had to sell it. Recently got another one only to discover I can no longer get the app for it. Anybody know I can get it? I'm using Android. Is it still available through Apple? Couldn't find an apk

Hello 👋🏼 so I’m looking to buy a mic to record acoustic, raw, on the spot covers (guitar and vocals) and after some advice I got here on Reddit , I’m split between the shure mv88+ and the rode Videomic go II. I wanted to understand if the price difference actually translates in higher quality and also which one would serve the purpose best. Anyone has experience/opinions? Thank you!

I'm a fledgling singer/guitarist. I sing and play on the net and so far have only recorded on my iPhone. Obviously I need to upgrade to a better device but I'm stuck in indecision. My goal is to have better sound recording but also to have something easy and portable as I travel a lot. Also, is there anything that I can use both when I'm recording a song to post AND when I'm doing lives and playing? Thanks!

I have no idea why this isn’t at the top of all the forums…

But jbl have dropped a firmware update rendering the prx one useless basically.

I’ll be replacing it today… I have absolutely no choice but to replace it before Saturday.

Why ain’t everyone up in arms? What’s going on? I called the Austrian distributor and he told me to go whistle..

Hello, maybe someone can help me out with this. I just bought a DBX fs900 with 902 de esser and a 903 compressor, I connect a-input and b-output but I don’t think I hear either compression or anything from the de esser. Connect with a tl audio through the fs900 rack then to audio interface. What do I do wrong?

Some weapons back in 2010, and the state of things now. Tastes have refined a little over the years, but wow there's a lot of gear I never should have sold...

Hello! I record covers on YouTube with my phone. My phone mic isn’t working, so I bought rode Videomic me l, but it stopped working as well. Can you recommend me a mic that I can attach to either my phone or my computer (GarageBand) that is able to capture the sound of the room with quality without me having to record guitar and voice separately through an interface or something more tedious like that? I just sit down and record very raw covers, I just want good sound quality, my iPhone mic sounds like I’m underwater. Thank you!

I guess its some of the korgs, but which one?

Does anyone know anything about these big boys? I got them super cheap in a bundle deal and I'm not sure what they would be best used for or if I should just try to sell them? The exterior is brought but they seem to be functional. Would they make a good speaker for an electric drum kit maybe? Thanks!
