Broughton Audio Super Thread

[esoxhntr]

I'm pondering whether that's a blues, or an old country song...

No pickup truck, so blues...

 

[saltydude]

All gone. Good job Josh!!

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Just woke up and like a perfectly normal human being first thing is checking the Broughton website. Think I managed to get the last Omnicomp, looks sold out but hey Canadian easter bunny gotta get some good workout delivering omnieggs all the way to Sweden

I wasn't planning on buying today.

I didn't even check the thread this morning, but I could feel the peer pressure.

Thanks, lads.

 

[esoxhntr]

I read this correctly at frist.
Does that mean I have lysdexia?

Thanks, lads.

That's what I went through!

 

[esoxhntr]

Copped. Earlier I said I wasn't really looking for another compressor, but I guess things changed.

I haven't really ventured beyond VCA compression on my board, so I'm excited to check out how the Omni sounds against my Becos CompIQ Mini.

That Becos is a nice compressor. Kind of similar to the Apex. The Omni is pretty different that the Becos... I'd immediately be tempted to run them both with the Becos at the front of your chain and the Omni at the back.

That's a really good idea. I love the Becos and it does exactly what I need, but when I'm recording I usually lean more towards opto comps on bass.

I've also got an Accountant on my board, so another comp would be pure extravagance

I'm looking forward to my next meal now.

 

[gh0st42]

Hopefully the Maestro drop will last that long

Spoiler... It won't!

Calling it now.

Batch of 20 Maestro's, and it will be Out of Stock with 1-2 minutes at most.

The Super Something and Tube Something I give 30 seconds from drop to Out of Stock, whenever those hit.
Unless they are larger batches, and then a minute... maybe.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Will the Maestro play well with flats?

If only these talents could be used for good instead of evil

 

[Lowendtech]

Will the Maestro play well with flats?

Yes. As long as they’re T.I.’s. I haven’t used anything else in years so maybe some others will too.


Hey @esoxhntr are flats more or less icky than worms at chez vous?

Or about the same?

 

[labeledbass]

Will the Maestro play well with flats?

yes, with a octave very synthy. If anything the flats narrow the band and prep the signal even better (which the maestro does as well) best strings on the maestro yet, for me, were tape wound flats, I didn't like the tape though, felt fake

 

[esoxhntr]

Will the Maestro play well with flats?

Nothing plays well with flats.

 

[esoxhntr]

But evil is more fun... SO much more fun...

Sounds reasonable

It's hard to say. Both are intolerable in their own right.

I'm looking forward to my next meal now.

I’m starving. Beer and I found a fortune cookie. Stupid fortune. Tossed it.

I’m predicting a blip in time for all.
