What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[Spaced Out Ace]

I’m going to sell the Big Rock Pro II (it’s alright, but not great; maybe just doesn’t work well with the Cab M), and possibly get something Vox based, or maybe a Wizard Craft Metal Zone.

I got a 25% off coupon from jtc so I picked up the new Max Ostro and Matteus Mancuso packages. Pretty killer players and will definitely take some time to get through. Also got the new Deafheaven and Chvrches albums this morning and they both slap hard.

Holy hell, it's already out for delivery! I ordered it from NY, so I was figuring at least until tomorrow or at worst Saturday, but this was lightning fast shipment. I'll be getting my COB tones on tonight it seems.

So this got delivered yesterday but I didn't get a chance to unbox it after my Cornhole Tournament that went for an ungodly four hours after work. Unpacked it tonight, and fired it up, it's exactly what I was looking for. The settings are not nearly what I was expecting them to be, but I started with gain/tone at noon and work both until they were where I wanted, and it's that nice mid-range, saturated, Marshall hi-gain tone I was hoping it'd be.

Crazy that the Jackman is supposed to be this when I've heard it doesn't have nearly enough gain on tap to be a JCM clone, while the Fireball equivalent is the one that does JCM-esque better.

I went from “nah, modelers seem too complex and I don’t like tweaking” to having a Kemper, tweaking all the damn time, and LOVING it…

And now i feel like I actually don’t have enough tweakability and want to go the AxeFx route.

thinking of flipping all my Kemper stuff and grabbing an FM9 but, wisdom is telling me to get both in my possession first, keep them for a few months, then make a decision.

Definitely try to have both at the same time to make an informed decision

For what it's worth, I traded away my Kemper for an Axe-FX II a few years ago and never looked back. The workflow makes more sense to me since I like building sounds and chains from scratch rather than tweaking an existing profile. Plus you get a LOT more flexibility with effects, block order and parallel signals, routing for 4CM, dual amps, etc.

My guitar gear gas is under control. Not to say I won’t buy an amp or guitar if the right deal comes along, but I already have every base covered 10 fold. Outboard studio equipment on the other hand... damn.

Just got a Warm 1073 mic pre with eq (sounds excellent) and am waiting for a local company to get stock on parts so I can build an 1176 compressor next.

 

[thebeesknees22]

@DudeManBrother - do you get a kit or do you just have diagrams and get whatever parts you need individually for that 1176 build?

I want to try building a fairchild, but that's beyond my ability right now ha. I think i need to start smaller.

There’s a local company called Hairball that sells complete kits and partials that include the hard to get parts and chassis. I have a ton of capacitors and resistors etc so I just need the chassis and some of the unique/hard to find 1176 specific parts.

Yeah I’d definitely start with something way more basic than a Fairchild If you’re comfortable building tube amp circuits from scratch or off schematics then you could tackle one, but if not, then it’s best to familiarize yourself by doing simple builds like pedals and “paint by number” type kits.

 

[thebeesknees22]

haha yeah totally.

awesome thanks dude! This sounds like a good winter project ᕦ(ò_óˇ)

 

[thebeesknees22]

ok starting off small with a tube screamer DIY kit lol

it's on the way! These pedal kits are way cheaper than I thought they'd be.

Go for a Rat kit next. The Rat and TS stack wonderfully together.

Since my Peavey Supreme has shit the bed, there's no amp tech locally, and sending it off for repairs would likely be more expensive than buying another one, I'm just going to get a Master Effects Marauder.

From what I can tell it sounds pretty close to the real thing, and it will integrate seamlessly into my existing setup.

LEKATO 5.8Ghz Wireless Guitar System
I got a gift card and didn't know what else to get. Snagged 2 of these.

Finally ordered a Source Audio EQ-2, can’t wait. There’s a guy locally selling the same Epi LP Custom I’ve been eyeing and he hasn’t responded to message yet, but that’s on the agenda too. I also have a new amp stand and studio desk on the way.
