Next week I am due to take delivery of my new music gear, specialist vocal fx equipment. It comes in two paired devices and in a fetching pink and 'magnolia white'. I am even able to chose the color for the first time, but magnolia is what I think I shall settle for, as this matches the decor in my studio - and the wife approves - she says its a suitable color for my age.
I am sure using these devices will put a smile on my face again. Lately my vocals have been a bit 'gummmed up'. It was obvious something needed to be done to improve them, but getting round to affording some new gear, was 'like pulling teeth'.

I understand that some of these units do emit a whistle every now and again, espcially whne you first use the equipment, (feedback loops?) but I hope to get around this by regular practice.

Musically speaking, (if you forgive the pun), it will sure be nice to have something to get my teeth into again. I shall definitely pick up the sax and blow out some cobwebs. I have a feeling I shall get my old Chew's harp out and see if I can work up a tune or too.



I was wondering if any of you guys here that have gone before me, using this equipment (and there is a lot of experience here) could suggest any orginal uses for this equipment? Perhaps a BIAB 'special edition'?

What is it that you're getting?
AND if getting new gear is like pulling teeth, I assume you no longer have any?

Zero's gettin' dentures!!!

I'm surprised you didn't create a post for Star Trek's 46th aniversary a couple of days ago, especially since you're from Bynar!

I am getting better at percussion. Are there any that have boldy gone before me? If so care for a duet?
Now.... for a suitable melody to match?

Best of luck ZeroZero,

I haven't that great teeth but got two molar adjacent ones out a few years ago, got the dentist to do two dentures on a plate for me, but to be honest I simply could not get used to them on lower left jaw by the way.

If I had lots of money would probably go for a few implants as there are a few clinics now in UK as I got quote would do two molars implants for less than £2500.

Best of luck to you as its an interesting topic as I might have a go again at wearing them.
