Mr70s- Copy the address Dean posted, then update your original image post and paste the URL (you copied) over the original URL you put in. The image properties of your post still show the bad link address. This should fix it, because Dean's address works fine.

Well in addition to my Hammond L122/Leslie 145, I have just taken delivery of:

A Mellotron

...and a Fender Rhodes piano, Hammond B3, Oberheim, Fairlight, Moog, Minimoog, Yamaha DX7, Vox Continental, Prophet 5, Farfisa & oodles more

Wanna see???

Supposed to be the synth to use if you want those classic sounds (hooking everything up tomorrow to find out); wanted one for ages, but didn't want to pay £250+ (average price on EBay), but managed to pick up this one (with the 'Plus' modification of an extra 256 patches) for £80.00

Average rating on various websites I've seen 9/10 - take this example:

Harmony Central wrote:

Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
The mellotron sounds are realistic. Not only violins, but also flutes and especially choirs. They really sound like "Selling England By The Pound" by Genesis. The E-Pianos (Wurlitzer, several Rhodes, DX) are very good. The Vox organ sounds just like "Light My Fire". Presets are generally good (Soft Synth IS the introduction to "Shine On Crazy Diamond"). The B3 Organs are good, ít´s better to have these lesliesamples than having absolutely no leslie. It´s made to get these beautiful sounds out that you need for progressive and psychedelic Rock from the late 60s and early 70s. If you want to play Genesis, Pink Floyd, Doors, Yes and so on, you´ll have the right synth with that.

We'll see - if nothing else, it'll be a great toy.

Incidentally, I'll be playing it through my Yamaha DJX1 (don't laugh, it's a great little keyboard) & Pioneer DJM500 Mixer

Specs: 15 inch fingerboard radius, 6105 frets, Sperzel locking tuners, 2 point knife edge trem, neck through.
Seymour Duncan JB trembucker bridge, Alnico II Pro single coil, Alnico II Pro Neck Humbucker.
It's so effortless to play and for a guitar made in South Korea, it's of outstanding quality.
She's been my pride and joy since December 2005, I love playing this guitar.

As far as I could find, there wasn't a thread dedicated to everyone showing their musical equipment. And by that I mean, instruments to amplifiers, to effects to controllers and so on.

Here's my guitar stuff

What is the pedal furthest left on your pedalboard? Also, is that two equalizers on top of your amp?

Hooked mine up over the weekend & there are some fantastic sounds there (the Mellotron samples alone...

); not sure why they waste a lot of the space with drum & guitar samples, though...

Korg AX3000G. Great build quality, but no substitute for the real thing.

Excuse the abysmal quality.

A Shaftesbury Squall pedal that belonged to Uriah Heep's Mick Box, 'liberated' by a friend sometime in the '70s.

Intriguing pedal. I can just make out Surf and Tornado. What effect does it create ?
