You don't mention any of that stuff and then you'll be free of the mailings from the not-quite-there. Let's embark on createdigitalsilence.com. And, definitely recommend that she get her son a tuning pedal and a poster-sized print of that second link. Maybe he could run the output of his ipod into the danelectro dj11. Minimal responsive video feedback for just $27.99 plus shipping. Her son'll be on CDMotion in no time.

I'm betting that's it, not a guitar tuning pedal we never mentioned. ;) Right, but this is clearly a Google link … and we have big Numark iDJ ranking.

Why she wrote you, I don't know, but she states that her son (of indeterminate age) enjoys music, is good w/ an ipod, likes to be the stereo-guy-cum-DJ and is likely a bit of a computer geek or wanna-be geek who is potentially interested in IT work as a career or hobby. While the first 2 (or should I say ii) links are pretty good, I think Mike is most likely right. I'd like to know if people here, based on that info, would recommend this product or not or a similar gizmo in the price range and then it would be kind of you, Peter, to relay that to her. best to all.

Can someone recommend a good guitar tuning pedal? Seriously though, someone should ask Diamond Dave if there is such a thing as "too much techno." My turntable is out of tune- all it plays is techno.

Seriously though, someone should ask Diamond Dave if there is such a thing as “too much techno.”

(Maybe the dude used Roman numerals on his wish list.) Do we receive a lot of emails like this? Yes. Yes, we do. My best guess is she actually means the Numark iDJ2, not a tuner pedal.

It's either <a href="http://www.dcmusicstore.com/Danelectro-tuner-pedal-DJ11" rel="nofollow">this</a> or <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7621601@N04/1987802129/" rel="nofollow">this.</a> Be careful with that second one though. And I don't think <i>anyone</i> really wants that. Well maybe IT guys. Well after 17 seconds of Googling, maybe the “DJ11″ mystery is solved.

It’s either this or this. Be careful with that second one though. And I don’t think anyone really wants that.

Never too much techno. But I concur with the statement concerning trance. Though i guess i can forgive him based on his obvious lack of english skillz. I bet it was just a non-english speaker wanting the best for his kid and desperately reaching out to you peter in his moment of need. Such a cruel world. Blaspheme! Never too much techno.
