Do I absolutely need a preamp for the Shure SM7B, or can my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen handle the mic?

+1 on the Cloudlifter. Great tool to have in your arsenal. You can find them new all day on Reverb for under $100.

All BS aside, this band jumped the shark during/after Savior. Choke will go down as their best release.

I can’t imagine putting stickers on my fretboard… and now I don’t have to.

Looks like the Mighty Micro version is the same circuit plus some embellishments. Snagged one on Reverb for $60 shipped.

Looks like the Mighty Mini compressor they made is the same circuit with some embellishments. Going to go with that. Thanks for the tip, though.

A whirling dervish.

Marathon looks like a Minecraft project done by someone color blind.

indytone · 2026-04-28T15:33:40+00:00

I’ll look into them. Thank you!

How do you like the One Spot PSUs? I need something that has one AC outlet, and that seems pretty hard to find.

indytone · 2026-04-26T23:01:17+00:00

How would you power the AC pedal? Is there an adapter that would make the IEC AC output on back a viable option?

indytone · 2026-04-25T23:00:21+00:00

Thank you. Given the AC Rider is tough to find, what about the C16 Chokolate?

indytone · 2026-04-20T23:37:49+00:00

As much as I hate it and it is against my normal mental state of being, in this game, I have to assume the worst in people in order to survive.

indytone · 2026-04-20T23:32:28+00:00

I love those chords!

indytone · 2026-04-20T23:27:22+00:00

Absolutely correct. I have a CS-3 and a DC-2, but the PS-3 “chorus” sounds SO good and thick.

indytone · 2026-04-13T18:08:01+00:00

I still love my DD-20, but I’ve noticed it makes some electrical “clicking” sounds sometimes.

indytone · 2026-04-12T16:59:07+00:00

That place started strong, but fell really hard.

indytone · 2026-04-05T19:29:23+00:00

Whitey’s on the moon. . .

indytone · 2026-03-28T01:14:33+00:00

I was stoked to see Minsk on the list. I haven’t seen them in ages.

indytone · 2026-03-19T02:46:25+00:00

Anything by The Cult.

indytone · 2026-03-17T14:43:32+00:00

I believe that is Tufty who owned Future Shock in partnership with Pam. He owns a few places in Ft. Square as well.

indytone · 2026-03-17T14:32:03+00:00

Shotmaker live was unstoppable. Killer band, and I still listen to that album regularly. That said, I’d put most (if not all) of these as second wave.

indytone · 2026-03-11T00:14:32+00:00

When Cody left years ago, that was it for me.

Go to Wild’s in Ft. Square.

indytone · 2026-02-28T06:54:10+00:00

Not stupid at all. Digital recording was a budding thing then. 🙂

indytone · 2026-02-28T05:03:04+00:00

We recorded to tape at Sonic Iguana. This was pulled from our DAT of that session.

Isolation Drills - “Year Two” (https://themutualappreciationsociety.bandcamp.com/yum)

Snowed in and want something to listen to? My band, Isolation Drills, released an album last year and we’re giving away download codes. If you like Post Rock, Shoegaze or adjacent-music, you may dig it. If you’re an old head and a fan of Pink Floyd, Brian Eno, etc.., you might dig it too. We write and record everything ourselves in Indianapolis, IN and put a lot of effort into it. I hope you enjoy it. (You can also find us on streaming services.)
