The Funkerater
Last Friday I played a gig with Karan Chavis at the Pebble Creek Country Club in Bryan Texas.

The gig was great and I met a bunch of great musicians whom I had never played with before.
After the gig, Karan told me she had a Christmas present for me but she had forgotten to bring it along to the gig. So I followed her and her husband Craig to their home to receive it.
Keep in mind that I have just about everything anyone would ever want when it comes to audio and video production here at my studio, but she assured me that I probably didn’t have this particular piece of gear.
I was curious, so I waited with anticipation as she went into her home and returned with a small thin metal object in her hand.
As she handed it to me I busted out laughing. It was a Funk Logic Funkerator.

Why would I laugh about this?
Well, ever since 99.999% of all work done on audio and video has been handed to computers, the need for external processing gear has slowly and steadily shrunk to near zero.
This process has had the inevitable result of producing a bunch of blank spaces in the many racks that I have here at the studio. In fact, I have so many blank spaces in my racks now, that I actually make excuses for them.
But now I need not make excuses for at least one of the blank spaces in my racks thanks to Karan.
For those who don’t know, Funk Logic is a company that makes nothing but fancy blank panels. They look really really cool, but do absolutely nothing.
The knobs are labeled as seemingly meaningful names like “The Brady’s” or “Thumb poppin good” or “suck less” or similar. But the knobs do absolutely nothing…
And that’s the cool part!
Now, I don’t have to worry any more about at least one of the many blank spaces in my racks here at Electric LarryLand. I have something that looks cool and covers up all of the miles of wires that I have here.
Thanks Karan!
