The PS dot com AES 2013 report
Above: Syl Butterworth tries to sell me more expensive stuff that I don’t need SO anyhow I went to the 2013 NY AES show, mainly to cover the DTV Broadcast Audio seminar for ProductionHub.

How y’all doing… srry that the fresh content has been slow to come lately; I’ve been blessed with a full plate, production-wise, lately, so there has been little time for writing. Expect some interesting new posts + project-build-notes in early January. In the meanwhile, I wanted to take a moment to share the results of […]
Of all the non-PCB tube amps that Fender ever made, the one most likely to rot away unloved in some dude’s attic is probably the Bassman 100. Too wimpy to be a useful bass amp, too loud to be a good studio guitar amp, and too boring for anyone to give a shit about, the […]
