First thoughts on the AKAI MPD32

There haven’t been a lot of updates here lately. Why is that? Because I picked up an Akai MPD32 and have been toying around with it since it has arrived.
Originally I’d been tossing up between the Akai MPD24 and the M-Audio Trigger Finger. In the end, I opted to go for the MPD32 due [...]

Close up of Tom Morello’s guitar gear

This post is for Tom, who left a comment on the Tom Morello’s Guitar Gear post.
Tom asked if it was possible for me to type out the details of his gear, because it was difficult to read from my scan. Short answer is no, I’m far too lazy to type it out, so instead I’ve [...]

Looks like the Akai MPD32 is the one for me

While my search for a USB midi drum pad/controller continues, I think I’ve narrowed down my options to one.

Jeff Tweedy from Wilco pedal board

For fans of the band Wilco, here’s an image of guitarist Jeff Tweedy’s pedal board. The angle is not that great, but never the less, you can probably make out most of the pedals onboard.
From what I can tell, there are a couple of Ernie Ball volume/expression pedals up the far end. There’s also a [...]
