Old reel to reel tape player/recorder mic 🎤😎

Just priced this super cheap on my Reverb shop 🛒🔗 the casing is cracked with a 50 year old repair but it still holds up and still sounds like a Lo-Fi mic 😌

I love getting inspiration from weird gear 🤡 lemme know how and where you'd use this! 🤙

It does what it says on the tin 🔥🚬😎

I'm currently making up a batch of these To***co Tin Amps for 🎸

Wild n' fuzzy sound at full beans, cleans up to an overdrive as you roll back the beans 🫘

Powered by a 9V battery and even has a clip on the back so you can attach it to your belt/pocket/strap

If you're keen for one just get in touch! 🙏🐸

Cigar Box Bass Fuzz Fun 🔥😈🎸

I'm currently working on a bunch of Smokey Amps for my man 🙌

These lil amps pack a lot of power 💪 full fuzz at full volume or you can dial back the volume to clean it up to a bit of grit 🪨

These are gonna be up for grabs at the guitar shows has coming up so check his page for the dates, or drop me a message if you're keen for one 😉

I have a problem 😬🎸

The problem is I don't have enough acrylic guitars 😤

In my defense, my tone has always been trash 💀🤷‍♂️🎸📻

I love trash 🩷🦝

This is a 1950s Chad Valley tin toy guitar that I replaced the tuning pegs on and set up as a 3 string slide guitar 🎸

The slide is a 1/4 pint milk bottle 🐄

The tape deck is a Little Tikes cassette player I modified to work as a down n dirty Lo-Fi amp 🔈

I used the SubPro pickup from 🤿 it can do a whole lot of stuff, but it also just makes for a great thin surface mounted pickup (and is the only thing here that is not trash 😂)

I love using weirdo gear. Creation through limitation 🤓 I believe even the jankiest instruments and equipment have at least one good song in them, even if you have to get experimental

Lemme know what weird gear you're using or making! 😎🙏👇

Getting weird with 🫨🎸

I find the SubPro to be an inspiring bit of kit 🧠there's no 'one thing' that it does. Rather, it allows you to explore your own ideas for how it could be used 🤔

My first thoughts were to hard pan every other string left and right as shown here, as well as add a lower Octave to the bottom 3 strings and a higher Octave to the top 3 strings (check out my previous reel or the full demo video on YT 📺)

I'm sure everyone would have a different idea for how to use the SubPro, so lemme know what you would use it for! 😎👇
