What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[J-PPP]

Cock… just when I was thinking of picking up another Titan…

According to someone on TGP, their current delivery time is around 2 weeks or so: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/psa-anoucement-re-dimarzio-pickups.2290500/

Also, they’re currently hiring: https://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/mnu/d/staten-island-assemblers-needed-mon-fri/7399024995.html

God that’d be a killer setup. HNPD!
All you need now is an HM-2 variant to complete the 4 horseman of the apocalypse board.

Already have an Hm-2, Throne Torcher, and a Metal Zone for good measure!

If I take my Stomp out of the picture, I can run them in stereo into my Rocktron Velocity.

Ive been eyeing the SNK VHD.

It's definitely a unique sound, but really cool. Takes an HM-2 the best out of my preamps.

my next purchase will probably be getting my 8 string electronics changed and shielded properly

There's a Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath available locally (used) that I might pick up. Isn't the owner/maker of these pedals like a giant POS or something? I seem to remember wanting to find a used so as to not support the guy,
but heard it was still worth picking up used if you could?

Dude's a jerk with a massive ego and the quality of his pedals seem hit or miss.

Why not just buy the Decibelics clone then instead?

My new Koch arrived! Now I just have to figure out where to stick it.

With the acquisition of my latest guitar..... a 'flattop' S-style (not S-shaped.. but with three single coils) 6 string. I actually have but one! last item on the gas list before I really don't have anything left to wish for.

.. Order that King of Tone that I've had the order code for, for two years already....

I ordered a low noise option’d EHX 7025 for the FX loop (V4) spot of the triple recto. Might as well do all the performance changes while I have it out of the headshell! By the end of it I’ll have a properly functioning orange channel gain pot, and a much quieter series FX loop.

Evening 2 with the Keeley Compressor Mini and Strymon Riverside.

Keeley is looking more and more like a keeper. Even at minimum compression it's not totally transparent but it doesn't do things to my tone that I find offensive either. The switch on it seems a bit fickle though, you need to stomp it clearly until it clicks or it won't toggle. I find my other pedals are a bit more forgiving. Maybe it will loosen up a bit over time.

Using my G&L Legacy Strat I actually got some pretty juicy low to mid gain tones out of the Strymon Riverside. I explored the examples in the manual and tried some of the advanced features. I'm starting to like the pedal now. I don't know why I felt it sounded too harsh with my Carvin C66 yesterday but today with the G&L Legacy it did great. I also tried the noise gate and buffered bypass and can confirm both work very well. I like that they put those in as extras because I have enough true bypass pedals chained up that a buffer is warranted and a noise gate is always nice to have.

I rewired and rearranged my board a bit. Signal chain is:

• Guitar -> Turbo Tuner ST-300 -> Keeley Comp Mini -> Browne Protein clone green -> Protein clone blue -> Riverside -> Hudson Broadcast clone -> BluGuitar Amp 1 Mercury Edition input.
• Amp 1 fx send -> Strymon Volante -> Strymon Nightsky -> Strymon Flint -> Amp 1 fx return.
• Amp 1 speaker out -> Bluetone 4x10 w/ 10" Greenbacks.

I have a Gigrig Wetter Box in the mail that I will use to run the reverbs and delay in parallel, hopefully eventually turning this into a stereo or wet/dry rig but that's a future plan. Still figuring out where I want to put the Digitech Trio+ for practising. Final form of the pedalboard will be something like this:

And yes, the Amp 1 can barely fit the board, hanging a bit off it. With enough dual lock it will stay put well enough.

I bought one of the Rogue lap steels that were up on mf stupid deal. I'd been looking at old lap steels for a while, and while the rogue stuff I've had hasn't been good, $70 is basically nothing for an instrument. I figure I shouldn't have to worry so much about crappy setups or bad fretwork etc. with a lap steel either so might as well dip my toe in on a cheap new one rather than spend 8-10x on an old one.

I also got this beauty today which I think is guitar related enough for this thread.

I know I plan on getting one as soon as it comes out. I want the black tolex version tho

Mesa Roadster on the fuckin way my dudes!
Stoked. Never owned any recto variant in my 15-ish years of playing.

I decided to go all-in with this mod idea for a guitar of mine instead of just thinking about it. I'm essentially just swapping everything out for chrome, including putting chrome pickup covers on the guitar. Usually I hate chrome on black guitars with black guitars with multi-ply binding? Looks rather nice. I also committed to trying the Les Paul pickguard on this thing. I keep looking at this guitar going "I wonder if (insert spec) would be cool. I wonder if I could try (insert spec)" so now I'll know definitively if I like it or not.

Hopefully it looks how it does in my head or else I just spent a bunch of time and money on nothing. I hope this goes how I want it to

Since you mentioned lap steel… Megan Lovell is a beast. First time I ever heard it used as the rhythm instrument and not just accompaniment / melody.

good to see Larkin Poe get some recognition on here. I've been a huge fan of them for years. Both of the sisters kick ass at guitar.
