• The Moog Grandmother is on its way for a little TLC at the shop. See ya soon Grandma! (and check out the ARPs For All Collection and the Moog Subsequent 47 in the meantime)
• The AVID S1s and their Control iPads are now running the latest and greatest version of Eucon. A couple new features and increased stability. Huzzah!
• A couple guitar and bass combo amps are out for repair, but we’ve still got plenty to choose from for your next rehearsal or recording session. (have you got a good quality combo amp you’re not using any more? Donate it!)
