freezeetch's Electronic Studio Setup

Needed a distortion and was pleased to find this beefed up RAT. Classic sound, solid construction, big ol knobs... awesome! about $100 more than a regular RAT, but worth it in my opinion. Like that you can run it at 18V for more headroom/higher fidelity, as I am mainly using this in the studio.

Just got this and haven't played much yet, but it powers my pedals with no problems and doesn't seem to contribute any tone-suck problems. Well-built, and smaller than I expected. Happy so far! MXR/Dunlop stuff always seems solid. Mainly got it because I've had a cheap powered pedal board for a long time that has taken up a lot of space and had a lot of features I never use (terrible built in speaker??), and when I decided I wanted to get my pedals up off the floor so they're more within reach I needed a new way to power them.

Pricey stand, but rock solid and looks amazing on stage! Love that there is room underneath so your knees aren't bumping into an X-stand, and you can put pedals underneath or whatever. Amazing! I originally had the 18810 + 18813, but decided to add a third tier, which meant swapping out the 18813 for a 18811 and adding a 18821. Well worth it!

I had a set of DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms before these. I still have them, and they sound great. But they're closed back. I wanted something open or semi-open to use in the studio, and I wanted to use the DT 770 at work (because I'm spoiled). When I originally placed the order for the DT 880 they sent me the wrong version (DT 880 Edition) and they sounded good, but I sent them back because I really wanted the black special edition design. When those finally arrived, I noticed the clamping pressure on my head was more gentle than on the Edition model, and they sounded like heaven. A very good decision, and they look so sharp!
