Trying out the circular Copy Dial. We needed a way to index the positions so 360/40 is 9 degrees.

MCI JH24 – We call it “Woody”
Got a new toy, MCI JH24 – We call it “Woody”, You know it’s not very cherry, it’s an oldie but a goody… But it still gets me where I wanna go
It woke up from an 8 year slumber rather gracefully. It needs a remote cable, some new light bulbs and a visit from Tristan.
Sound guy xmas idea #12 – PulTac Passive Tube Equalizer
Top shelf tube gear has never sounded so good and been so reliable. Tristan has redesigned a classic and made it a price that’s hard to pass up.
Two channels of Passive and Inductor based Program Equalization!
Heavily modified version of the Pultec EQP-1, adding much more flexibility in the Low-End Boost/Cut, and in the High-Cut sections, with excellent Sowter inductors used in the High-Boost.Single tube design, using one NOS Tesla/Sabre 6DJ8 per channel.
Hammond Transformers isolating both Inputs and Outputs.
You can buy one here: http://audioaholics.com/peers/catherine_north for MUCH cheaper than most mono tube filters!
Sound Guy Xmas idea #8 – Moleskine Rulled Notebook
I take a LOT of notes, and I loose a LOT of notes. I find myself throwing away little bits of paper with random writing daily. Collect your thoughts in one classy place: a Moleskine notebook.
Prices vary and they are vailible in almost every bookstore in the world.

AND here is a great system to keep it organized:

Spiromill – Engraving with a spirograph
I have a project coming up where I needed a special face plate. I came up with the idea of engraving with a spirograph, so I ordered one on eBay and it showed up today! 
The setup was a little roughed in
But the results will be spectacular

20131004 – Pedal board
While I was in Saskatoon I got the chance to build a pedal board for a friend. He had 8 pedals “floating” around in his life and it was time to tie them down and power them up. Without the Voodoo Labs Pedal power this project would have been a nightmare of power bars and wall warts.
We started with a rough layout
My cousin needs a new tweeter…
2009 microphone cart
While visiting a friends studio (The Avenue Recording Company) I was happy to notice an old microphone cart I’d built for Tanda Recording. The cart was designed to keep clutter down and be able to slide between the room partitions. It was extremely well then and keeps working today. There are two side compartments that remove and a bottom one for larger items.
Compartments taken out. The compartments were great for keeping the mic clips and stere bars etc etc
The bottom case was great to stash round basses and goose necks
A word of advice if you want to build a cart like this: The real trick to this cart is its depth. We had a similar cart at a theatre I worked for; we were always breaking off adjustment knobs on the bottom of the stands. If the depth of the holes is too much putting the stands in can snap the adjustment screws right off.
When in doubt: fuck it, paint it black.

MXR Phase 100 repair and mod
Someone blew it up with the wrong PSU… cost more to fix it than it’s worth. Moral of the story… Every Guitar player needs a VOODOO LABS PEDAL POWER!!!
And here it is…
The Linear Traveling Potentiometer presented at AES Toronto meeting Sept 24, 2013
The Math Project that inspired the FivePointNone
Had my drawings notarized before presenting them…
Getting ready for presentation…
I wonder what this could be about… 
I will be presenting something interesting…
Hey folks I’ve have a very interesting announcement: I will be presenting an invention I’ve never showcased in public at the AES Toronto “Members Showcase of Gadgets and Projects night”. I can’t promise a revolution but I can promise something interesting and inspiring.
If you had nothing to do on Tuesday the 24th, would greatly appreciate the support if you were to show up!
I will be posting something following the meeting.
