My gear list is pretty small really, and has changed quite a bit over the years. For the past 4 years it's
been pretty much entirely vst based, after I sold my last bit of hardware. So much easier dealing with everything
in the PC. Lately I have started to miss having a physical object to tinker with though, so bought myself a guitar.
I figured there's not that much point buying a synth, since all that can be done as good or better in a vst, so why
not go for something a bit more organic? Of course, I couldn't just buy a plain old guitar, so I picked up a variax,
so there still a bit of digital trickery involved! Results of all this will be heard on the new album..
The list of current gear isn't 100% complete, as there some other stuff I have installed which I don't use often enough for
it to be worth mentioning.
