I bought this TC Helicon VoiceSolo FX150 Personal PA & Processor awhile back and forgot all about it until I just went in a closet and saw it.I said to myself what the heck is this?.....then I saw the TC logo on the nice zippered black carry bag,...lol
I have to be honest, I totally completely forget I had this unit.
I hooked it up with a mic w/fx to my Yamaha S670 and it really sounds fantastic!! Easily a great lightweight setup for small rooms,
NH gigs, Mp3 player, etc, who knew?
could be used for so many situations, and I love the way it can be Pole mounted or Mic stand mounted with the included adapter,...hahaha
check your closets you never know what you'll find. wink

Just kidding, just kidding; don't get your shorts in a bunch. Remember, I'm a left-coast, progressive, (new) socialist, 'libetard' who loves, respects, and accepts EVERYONE.

Oh, and as to the OP, yes! I just found a set of expensive headphones (never opened) and some other impulse-buy piece of junk that I bought cause Uncle Dave had one and it was cheap. Also never opened. Oh well, my grandson is going to have a well stocked little home studio.

Gotta reluctantly confess... I have a few things "stashed away" I'd love to forget. Unfortunately, the "Exchequer of the Currency" in my household is relentless.

Personally I am NOT a hoarder or anything like that of any kind.
If I don't use it in my immediate life out it goes.
But in this case if was just forgetfulness...

If I don't use it, I tend to sell it.

If I don't use it, I tend to sell it, then sometime after find a need for it and wish I hadn't, then often get another one or similar. I don't know how many times I've said " I wish I kept that".

I find stuff in packages, unopened every time I go to the storage unit. I forgot about 4 guitars, two amplifiers and a bass I loaned a neighbor about 20 years ago.

Yet, I have major withdrawals when I sell something (a rare event). It's easier when I just give equipment to deserving kids.

Must have been a tough gig Jim. Was it still there when you got back?

Are you going to get another unit Donny, so you can play in stereo?

Paul that would be a great idea for sure for smaller gigs as I am a big fan of stereo sound,...
but as I recall I bought it as a practice unit for kb/vocals,
throw in the car backup emergency unit,....
or to just listen to songs off my phone on the porch
while I sip a Jack Daniels Honey on the rocks with lime.

I, too left an arranger keyboard in the front yard of the Merrick Inn one evening. I took everything to the van and rushed to an upright job across town. Left at 10:00 PM, after dark. At 2:00 am I was loading up and couldn't find the arranger.

Rushed back, and there it was, in it's black bag, laying in the grass. The place does over 500 covers some nights, and this was a busy night.

Also left a guitar in a hotel lobby at about 2:00 AM in a town about 50 miles from home, and didn't miss it until I was unloading several hours later.

Luckily, the night auditor spotted it and put it in the office.

A week later, the house PA was stolen from the bar, without anyone seeing who did it.

I seem to remember having a few wives that are no longer around ... I should check the closets, I suppose.

Never left anything but have purchased stuff and then put it up. I bought a wind controller once from Sweetwater and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to play it so returned it and got a couple pieces of gear, a Yamaha mixer and a midi interface that I put on a shelf 2-3 years ago and have never used.
