Ready for action - the Wurlitzer 200A. This thing makes me play in a completely unique way … I look for notes and phrasing I just don’t go for on other instruments!

Replaced the PSU inside the Yamaha KX88 keyboard this evening with the Mean Well PT-65C.

I absolutely love the feeling of the keys on this beast from the 80s and now it’ll last another 40 years. No modern weighted keyboard I’ve tried is anywhere near as good!

A huge thanks to for her superior dexterity and help getting it all installed. ❤️

Two kings of 80s synthesis - the Yamaha DX7 II FD and the Roland D50. I’m definitely more of a Roland synth cat, but the DX7 has been on some seriously iconic tunes! Both incredibly complex with infinite sound generation potential.

Hopefully replacing a couple of CEM3340 chips (all the way from Portugal) on the lower module board of this beast will bring it back to life. One of the great analog synths - the Roland Super Jupiter / MKS-80.

Vintage Roland synth resuscitation.  Might have to special order some chips for this guy … but it will be worth it.

Warwick and Wurli. The Warwick 5 string is a relatively new addition (a few years maybe) and is equal parts funky and heavy. The Wurli in the background is a newer one … it has a story that I’ll tell soon!

Complete overhaul of the circuits in the vintage Wurlitzer 200A. Will probably make a video with this very special unit once I’ve got it sorted. Glorious tones from one of the greatest electric pianos ever made.

Finally solved a power supply issue in some of my preamps that caused them to turn off after a little while. Back into the rack with a new part and bigger heatsink!

New addition - all the way from 1978 the DBX 165 compressor. With ‘Over Easy’ soft knee compression as an option and full control of attack & release times. This thing is a monster on kick, bass and vocals. Vibe for days.

All things in flux but I’m still kicking.   Sunset reset.

The non-existent, never released 1176JN compressor.

Almost every vocal clients send me for their productions or mixes ends up going through these units. Even without compression engaged they have a lovely filtering sound.

Built in house by my well-used musician’s hands!
