Schecter Nick Johnston USA en route.

I'm already eyeing the Traditional SSH models too lol.

I have been building PedalPCB clones for a while but really wanted a better compressor so a Keeley Compressor Plus is on order. I have been getting into slightly overdriven chicken pickin' licks so I think the Keeley with an EQD Dunes in the natural position may be just the ticket.

Definitely.

Also, even without that turn your amp volume and gain up (AC/DC territory) and then roll back your guitar volume (hopefully you have a treble bleed circuit). It will compress the clean tones and make them naturally spanky.

Potentially a mic stand and clip to record the acoustic I just got (or whatever acoustic may replace that...)

Trying not to pick up my bass and worry about bass tones and new basses :lol:

Looking into getting a loop switcher for the first time ever--I was going to ditch my pedals and shop for a Fractal FX8 on Reverb, but totally fell back into just wanting to hang onto my current pedal collection and get a switcher to organize them better for specific sound combos.

Sell most of the pedals, get the FX8. I didn't miss my old setup :lol:.

Well, I was saving for an RG550DY, and now that I could pull the trigger, I'm honestly just really digging the guitars I have for the time being + I'm not sure I'd want a thinner (by 1mm) neck than my 2550 + a square heel joint :lol: Decided to get a Blaze neck pickup to match the Blaze bridge for my 752 though. I can only hope it's as sick as the Bridge version, I've never played my 7 this much since putting that thing in

Was gonna save for an Audient ID series, but man I'm hearing so much hype for this thing (Motu M2) that I need to check it out. Or the SSL2.

My buddy just got the SSL2+ and it seems pretty great for that price range. I haven’t personally tracked through it, but I put it through my monitors while going over his project, and thought his guitar captures were nice. That Motu is getting a lot of praise though...

Local shop has two NJ imports that I'm ignoring really hard to save for a USA.

I didn't realize there were so many different colors and options now. Have you seen the new nitro models with the Subatomic pickup set? They're $3100 though.

The 2020 Atomic Orange one and the regular colors are still $2699. The website says they're all wenge necks but they sure look like rosewood (no open pore figuring).

I've got to go and compare the new Nitro models to see what I prefer, then decide if I'm happy with the blue or nudge them to do a pink one for me. Nick just got a USA version of the HSS import as well, so I think that will be the new model for next year.

On the Schecter site it sure looks like wenge to me.

Probably a cab sim like a radar. I am playing with a cheap pré amp and it does not sound good on high gain with headphones.

the rain soaked post industrial wasteland known as
Ordered a EMG HAX for my OG Schecter Banshee there's an 85x in the bridge and I love it but I need the twangy funk of a single in the neck so I can live out my Nile Rodgers fantasies.

I also ordered a POD GO and managed to snag 20% off the price so it cost me £380 but the store I bought it from has now put the price up from £399 to £430 and all the other retailers who were selling it for £399 are now selling it for £430 too. :scratch:

Just looked on my comp yeah it's dark but def wenge. On my phone it looked solid black.

Def interested in seeing a custom NJ if you go that route.

I've got 2 Schecter USA ideas. Both strats, one with extra strings.

And then I'm going to end up with an old Dream Machine or a new Dream Machine really soon. I was playing a 90s/00s era Schecter USA strat the other day, and they're just so good.
