To be fair, it’s well understood that OT inspires terror in the hearts of many……
Not gonna lie, sounds good. Never even think to buy one probably ever, but it sounds good.
Andromeda Strain intro - yeah!
Oof, even before the smartphone days it could arouse suspicion (although in this hectic age a bit more now). Was once stopped at an airport for carrying around a metal USB drive.
The time I brought an Electribe ESX through airport security in a laptop bag was entertaining - the bloke checking my bag wanted to know more about it, but his superior made him hurry me along and get everything packed back up.
I still have one - with the screen protector plastic still intact!
A bit dusty but the keys aren’t nearly as yellow. I guess I am more adverse to sunlight or something
Why I never got rid of it:
- it still works
- is easy to use
- more of a hassle get rid of it than it is worth
Edit: BTW, it does live up to being actual Bad Gear in that the rubber mod and pitch bend wheels turned sticky and gooey years ago. Maybe Nord was onto something…
Or tobacco/other things. No criticism ![]()
Ho ho ho. Santa is making a list and ticking all the boxes
every time i decide “okay now try and really watch bad gear”, in 2 minutes get to this cacophonic overload verging on simulated epilectic seazure that i just can’t. maybe there will be a Calm Episode one day
Florian does ASMR
“Welcome to good gear, the show about the worlds most beloved piece of gear. But first, let’s take a moment to breathe in…… Breathe out…. And reflect on the current moment…. Today we are looking at…”
I had almost as much fun watching that as he must have had making it
If you just ignore the Memes you will notice how much of a deep and infomative review each episode is.
The microcosm remark got me blowing snort bubbles
Bob Ross’ Good Gear. “This synth is a happy little accident…”
…“and here is a new drum machine… let’s beat the devil out of it”
I mentioned a while ago that I would love to see a Microcosm episode of Bad Gear. This may be as close as I get (and he’s not wrong)
