Ken's Gear For Sale

Well, I'm getting ready to do a big recording project, and making some pretty heavy high end gear investments, so i'm reluctantly selling some of my gear to help offset the new purchases. If anyone is interested in snagging any of these things, let me know. If you need to see a pic or a broader description, let me know. I think all of these are really good pieces, except the 604 mics are not the greatest, but hey, for the price its not a bad deal even for them.

Guitar.
Variax 300, (this is the Line 6 Modeling Guitar and does for guitars what the POD and Amp Farm have done for amps). I am selling this guitar because i loved it so much, i just went and bought the absolute top of the line Variax 700 Modeling Guitar and i dont need two Variax guitars. This guitar i'm selling has some pretty excellent Karma on it already. I used it first for a project for Columbia Records artist "Selya", her album is due out soon. and i JUST used it a couple weeks ago for a John Legend song that i think is a hit and a half, and also just used it to play "banjo" on a Danny English song. Now it can be yours. Asking $350 plus shipping for it. This guitar plays well, stays in tune pretty well, and the modeling is ridiculous. Can sound like about 50 different guitars, banjo, sitar, 12 string, semi hollow body's. will even do drop D and alternate tunings WITHOUT retuning. sick. and the best part, zero hum!!! no pickup hum, and the pickups track just as fast as regular pickups. This is a sick piece of technology. My Variax 700 is my new main guitar, my Variax 300 has to go.


Plug In's for HD

URS 1980 Compressor (the SSL Stereo Compressor emulation). I love this thing, but i also own the URS 1970 and URS 1975 Stereo compressors, and a crapload of other compression plugins. How many do i really need? This is a great plug. I'm asking $225 for it plus the $25 ilok transfer fee. You can get a demo of it from the URS site if you wanna try before you buy. This thing sells for $499 "new".

Revibe (Digidesign Reverb). Lists for $995. I paid $500 for mine, and grabbed a spare in Massive Pack 4. So, i'm not getting rid of my Revibe, I LOVE THIS PLUGIN, i'm selling my second copy. $200 plus the $25 ilok transfer fee, and worth every penny. I use this reverb constantly.

McDSP G Channel. asking $450, plus the $25 ilok transfer. Pretty awesome piece, 5 band EQ with low and high filters, compressor, gate, also does a ton of different vintage console emulations. This one is falling into that "How many EQ's and Compressors to i need, i already have a TON of them. Read the reviews, this thing got nominated for a TEC Award. Retails for $995 and has gotten rave reviews.


Analog Equalizers for Sale

I have six channels of Audio Arts 4200A Equalizers. 3 Units for sale, each with 2 Equalizers. Asking $300 per unit, plus shipping. I'd call these "semi-Vintage" as i think they hail from the 70's, but its not like they are NEVE's. They do sound good and are very versatile. These things are 4 band, fully parametric equalizers. Boost/Cut, Q, and Frequency on each of the 4 bands. I usually use them on toms and snare when i'm recording live drums, but have also used them during mixing a bunch, often on percussion, guitars, keybaords, etc..... Selling them to help offset the cost of some very high end EQ's I'm about to purchase. Between my Sontec, Lang, Avalon, Neumann, and GML EQ's something had to go.

Mics. Selling 3 Sennheiser 604 mics, $90 each, plus shipping. They are dynamic mics with clips that will easily clip onto drum shells. I've been using them for Tom mics and sometimes under the snare mics. Not the greatest mic, but a good deal at $90 a piece.

I'll be selling a couple more things in a week or two, and all of this stuff will be going up on Ebay in the next couple days if it doesnt sell immediately here. So if you want it, let me know asap before i list it on Ebay.

Back to mixing for me. a bunch of good mixing on my plate right now.

Thanks!!!

Ken Lewis
