Thanks everyone - I'm loving this little Martin..

? ?

Exactly that was waaaaay back in 2012.

Though TOMS rivonia did have one for sale so give them a call and check..

Good luck

Could one of the acoustic gurus perhaps provide some advice?

I'm trying to establish what humidity to keep the guitar in - I'm struggling to get over 41% due to the heatwave..

I've made 2 large DIY humidifiers using super absorbent sponge in plastic containers which has helped a bit .

What humidity should I be aiming for ?

Got her yesterday - What an amazing sound - I think this one's a keeper!

if you split can I have your remote?

yeah I've been looking on those places..
Will keep looking I guess ?

Hey guys, so I'm really keen to find a Martin OM 21 or 28..

Retail is around 40k which is a bit eina..
So I was wondering, do they come around on the secondhand market often? What sort of prices do they fetch?

Thanks

None of them are minors :-\

Eb is a minor third above C.

Think about how you would construct a C chord (1-3-5)
That would imply C E G (1-3-5)

So Eb is the minor...

C, Eb and G walk into a bar..
The bartender says 'Sorry, we don't serve minors'

Hey man, I have an Uno chip lying around somewhere if you find an FCB pedal

Saw this ad on Gumtree and it really pissed me off.
Posted here so people can keep an eye out for this poor soul's gear..

I've been following this thread fo quite a few days and there are such good arguments laid out I really didn't feel like I could add much to the conversation but it just occurred to me;

If I wanted to buy an instrument for 20k to 50k which is pretty much the whole Tokai/Gibson pricing spectrum - I sure as hell would know exactly what i'm buying - it's not like I'd go into a shop looking for a Gibson and walk out with a Tokai by mistake or under false pretenses and feel cheated. If I bought a Tokai over a Gibson it's because I chose to do so.

Gibson's argument of consumers being cheated is bull.. Anyone buying one of these instruments know exactly what they want. Now if I bought a Gibson les paul and it turns out it was a Chinese fake.......

So I took a bit more time investigating my emu - and guess what - the USB hub it was plugged into was blown - got a new hub and its working perfectly - so... I guess crisis averted for now.

To be honest I like my EMU - has really clean sounding DACs and is decent enough for media and stuff - my only gripe is the headphone jack - it's pap - my 32ohm DT770 doesn't sound great through it (and the 32ohm is designed to be driven by an ipod!)

So maybe an upgrade is still on the cards..
I'll keep an eye out for a cheap scarlett 2i2

but thanks again for all the good advice ?

Thanks for all the input guys, @v8 it's multi purpose and the occasional recording so I guess a scarlett 2i2 seems the go to? Can I run my monitors off it?

Hi guys, so last night we had a massive power surge in our area. Casualties this morning include my laptop charger and my audio interface.

It was a creative emu 0202 usb. Used for my monitors and to listen to music/movies from my pc.

So, I'd like some opinions of replacement options, budget is not more than 2k. Don't need anything super fancy, just better than the usual gaming sound cards, USB and able to record from my Kemper..

Fire away and thanks
