What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[Gollapalli]

I know that I really WANT an Omega Granophyre. But to be honest, all high gain amps sort of sound the same (maybe I should crosspost that to the unpopular opinions thread), so I should probably just stick to my 5150 2x12. Do I really need another SLO variant? At the end of the day, my playing matters a lot more than the amp. I have an agile chiral parallax 8 string coming in.

That said I also REALLY want an ERG Tele with single coils, but I'd have to commission it. Time to tune my cheap squier tele to drop A to see whether it's really a usable sound.

By ERG, do you mean >6 strings or a baritone? If the latter, you could always buy a replacement neck. Warmoth has a baritone Tele neck in stock:

A 7 or an 8 string. The baritone neck is a really interesting option though. I didn’t know that existed. I know agile made a 7 a while back, but I emailed them about it and they said they weren’t making anymore.

Saving up for an RG 550 genesis

Probably a squier tele and boss katana 50. 75% of my work is out of town, so I stay at my dads place to save on hotel fees. Would like a cheap rig to leave there and both seem to fit the bill.

Emma Okto-Nojs octave fuzz with subharmonic arrived.

New Squiers are killing it. Also look into G&L. Same price range. Musiciansfriend regularly blows out MII G&L for 299-399.

Saving up for an RG 550 genesis

i miss mine...had it for a short time.

guy i bought it from on eBay was going through some rough times and didn't want to sell. a few months later he hit me up begging to get it back because it was a gift he received. felt bad about it so i sold it back to him. lol

 

[Gravy Train]

I have a Vola Guitar's Luna coming in tomorrow. Haven't played in over a year and sold all of my gear awhile back, so I am happy to get back into guitar.

Not a purchase, but I get to play with this for a few days.

I've seen a couple of people with these. I love my Ceres to death so I imagine this'll kick just as much ass.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Is it a one channel Preamp or...?

Boost/OD pedal. Level, Gain, a 3 band active EQ with a Tight/Fat/Thick switch and a 3 way drive switch for clean, low gain, and mid gain crunch.

It's very good. The Tight position is insane.
I can't really articulate how much tighter it makes an amp. I have my amp set with about as much low-end as possible. It's basically "fart fart fart" *click* Meshuggah

I would use it for the looser settings, which are in the realm of a more typical boost pedal.

I have a TC Integrated Pre Clone and it can take the floppiest turd of a low end and make it toight like toiger. Just adds a decent amount of noise too. Is this the Eros quiet?

 

[USMarine75]

Bought an MXR Phase 95. Does both Phase 90 and Phase 45 effect, plus it’s tiny.

I use it on the KPA as an always-on effect (same as Tremolo on my amp) not as a swirling effect.

I didn't notice any significant noise increase but I was also laughing too hard at how comically tight it was...

I'll play with it a lot more tonight/tomorrow and report back. Maybe post a thread.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I'm getting a wee bit bored of my TC clone so I'd like to check this out for more variety.

Sweet me and the wife have the same one and we use it for birthdays and special occasions.

Oh wait. Nevermind.
