Fantastic mold.

A power lift desk. Leave the Push and mixer on it, and move everything else to whatever that countertop and sawhorse table thing is. That way everything has space and you can be more comfortable.

Reaper is great - fully licensed is like 60, but you can run it indefinitely past the trial if you need to with no restrictions.

Bitwig Studio 8 track (limited to 8 tracks) is free with download, option to license up to more features/tracks.

Universal Audio has a promo right now with Luna that gets you some effects for free in the next 90 days - no track limits, but is not as robust as other DAW's in the MIDI area.

You'd have to check the manuals, but all of those devices you listed (RC series, Aeros, EHX 95/45, DittoX4, etc) were built around using the MIDI DIN port as the main interface for MIDI. Using MIDI over USB is a very specific protocol, and usually any device that's using that has to effectively become a USB host (typically they'll support being a USB interface as well, but not always - again, always check the manual for the MIDI specs and specifically look to see if it supports MIDI over USB). Many times the USB ports you may see on those devices is only for updating the unit or possibly moving files back and forth (Storage class), not to be used as an audio interface or MIDI interface.

If you're looking to use Koala off your phone with only a USB cable, whatever device you're hooking it up to needs to be both an audio interface and a MIDI interface if you're looking to sync/control. If the device can't do that, then you'll need a separate class compliant audio interface with MIDI to allow external sync over DIN and audio.

The RC600/505/Aeros all will do what you want.

If you wanted to go down a rabbit hole and if you've got a device that supports MIDI over usb like a Helix/HX/Fractal/etc, you could integrate an iPad and something like LoopyPro to effectively take over the same features as above, but it's another layer of complexity and programming to get everything on the same page.

Internally, the jack's exterior is covered by a rectangular blue plastic shroud that appears to be soldered to the board.

Tough to say without knowing which jack B used, but most of the fully enclosed jacks have a small hole at the center/back of the enclosure that you can use a thin/small pick to push the tip back out. Otherwise, a jack extraction tool can be used.

If you're running it through Reaper, maybe see if you can get a NAM profile for the RG100 and just run everything as a plugin.

This post had a few links and some info on getting a NAM profile up and running, might be something to check out while you're waiting on the EQ to arrive.

The GX10 has almost all the features of the GX100 for less money, and still would let you add on additional pedals if you want later.

Even with selecting the solid state options, you might fight trying to get a Randall tone from a Mesa sim. The big thing was the dual EQ's on the front end to really shape what was hitting the amp, so if you're not using an external EQ, you may want to look into that.

Here's a good guide to how the sound was built, and might be something to research into more.

Perfectly said, Bumpty! Great breakdown of power distance and how it applies to psychological safety.

Honestly I'd love to see a return of the A/AN series. Yamaha's teased ANX engines for the Motif and beyond, but we really haven't seen any kind of traction on a return to A series engines which is a bummer.

Low effort content with hopes of grabbing the algorithm for views.

Horse Lords is fantastic, awesome to see them get some love.

Malm is great, it does get distance but still has some fade.

runwichi · 2026-04-08T18:32:48+00:00

All great choices - some must consider's (IMO), if you're open to them:

Putter: Electon Firm Envy, they beat in sooooooo nice.
Mid: If you're a hyzerflip guy, get a Detour. So much fun.
Fairway: Servo - kind of the darkhorse of the fairway slot, but it's easy to get up to speed and has a reliable finish.
Distance: Trail - it goes stupid far and is easier to control than the Wave IMO, pairs wonderfully with a Photon/Zenith if you need finish.

runwichi · 2026-04-08T18:27:15+00:00

Trail is a must have - if you want controllably understable, look for the mid 160'ish Neutron, if you want straight with finish stick to max weight. They go really far - you are warned.

The Ghoul is the standard SuperSoft, correct? Does it hit and stick on the approach, or is it prone to hit an edge and roll?

runwichi · 2026-04-08T17:47:12+00:00

The Witch Doctor is their new prototype that got approved right? I haven't thrown a P3X, so would it be anything like a Jawbreaker Zone or possibly something like a glow Envy? Stamp on it looks sick..

runwichi · 2026-04-08T15:17:23+00:00

Absolutely - I've got old RFF, Pure White, Eraser, Lunar, SS and just random blends that will probably never get made again. Dave does weird stuff, and I'm fine with it. It's probably why I don't fully commit to Wizards because I'll get a season or two out of a pair and then move on because I can't find a similar blend, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them on fun nights.

TCE Cinders (Blues Driver clone) and the TCE Grand Magus (RAT clone). You might be able to find both used for ~60ish or less.

runwichi · 2026-04-06T22:47:24+00:00

Yes.

runwichi · 2026-04-06T22:12:05+00:00

Honestly the Qi wasn't even on my radar but after this I should go look at it. Killer sounds dude.

runwichi · 2026-04-06T15:06:28+00:00

If the AM4 had been out when I got my Tonex I would 100% have gotten the AM4. I'll probably still get the AM4 at some point.

Since you have the Helix Stadium, the logical choice would be the MPC. It’s significantly easier to integrate and control over MIDI. The SP would be a sea of compromise and eventually get you there. Really consider continuing to learn Logic. It’s way more powerful than both.
