I just got a Mojave Ma-300, I'd like to get an eq next, looking at the warm audio pultec clones or the jdk stuff.

Not gear related, but I'm totally getting a pair of katanas this summer too.

I've strayed from the pack and just picked up both Metal SDXs for superior drummer and I went out and got a Joey Jordison Pearl snare drum along with a stand a throne. Figured no more guitar gear until my Custom Select Jackson is payed for and has arrived. Only six months to go.

Orange TH30 is looking more and more likely.

Assuming I don't find a TBR-1SL available somewhere when I'm ready to buy.

Back when I had a lot of tube heads I used to run a 5150 and Triple Rectifier together. FOOKIN HEAVY!! That is one of the biggest "wall of sound" tones I ever had. Those amps go well together. Super loud, but super heavy sounding.

Spent the last few days with the DC7X as much as I could when I wasn't working, and I've gotta say it's the best 7 I've tried! Quality and playability are on par with EBMM, but the scale and neck shape are more suited to my preferences. I'm still planning on taking good *phone* pictures and writing up an NGD thread, but I'm gonna wait a few days since I still need to set it up to my prefered gauges. I will say that the stock Lithium pickups are killer! Aggression and punch almost as brutal as the M7, but with a vocal midrange character that I dig a lot. Maybe a little bit of harshness in the upper highs, but I may take out the treble bleed cap to see if that takes some of it away. Definitely going to be putting on a black Dimarzio Clip Lock strap like I do with all of my guitars (except for one guitar that has a white one :D )

As for the Dominion/Gravity Storm, it's gonna be a week or so longer before I can get them installed since the pickup rings I ordered ended up being the wrong size and style :( some "universal" set that was :wallbash: after much careful measuring and analysis, I think I've got the right ones ordered now :)

For guitars? I'm trying to re-build the set I had to sell 10 years ago. Need a decent bass, acoustic, acoustic/electric, and modeling guitar. Probably a Spector, Yamaha, Taylor, and JTV Variax.

For other gear, the Line 6 Helix or the FAS AX-8. It depends entirely on the price point of the AX-8.

Been planning my the mini pedal board for my Yamaha THR10. The whole rig will end up being transportable in a single backpack! :yesway:

So far I already have the Tube Screamer and Flashback mini. Will be getting next:

TC Electronics Ditto mini
Mooer Noise Killer (or Rocktron Hush mini)
Xotic SP Compressor
One Spot multi-plug 5

Been thinking about it a lot so I made a mockup while saving up. It's to scale. :cool:

At the rate im going this year, a new wife.

Taxes bought me a DC7X, traded an Agile 727 for an Ibby RG7321 & RG8, bought a Line 6 HD Pro X and power amp, new rack, Bought an Ibanez S670pb, then rescued an S7420, got an Ibanez RG7(620/420 mij), and barely just bought a BKP Juggernaut set. Oh, and a new bridge for the jap RG.

But next is maybe an Axe Fx II. Or an Agile Pendulum.

I've been playing the Dominion/Gravity Storm pair for a bit now, and I've gotta say they're simply killer! I'll be making an NPD thread soon for them with actual detail haha

Also...it seems I've purchased a Kemper rack and Matrix power amp :D :lol: I should be getting it within the next week, though I'll be out of town for a few days and may not be able to try it out for a few days after that :(

I've been GAS'n for a good modeler for a while now since I'm living in a small apartment at college this fall and neither my 5153 or 6505 are optimal size-wise or for bedroom/silent playing. Plus I want to start recording song ideas and maybe some covers, so the USB connectivity of a POD, Axe FX, or Kemper would be super simple for that. I chose to go with a Kemper because I have simple taste overall; just a killer amp, some basic effects, and a good cab. I felt that an Axe FX, while offering great amp modeling, would be overkill with effects and I'd go crazy tweaking. A POD would be good and simple, but wouldn't have as many amp models to choose from, plus the built-in cabs are kind of lackluster from what I've heard and tried. The Kemper seems like the best option for what I really need. Stoked on it!

NOICE man! Have to throw up some clips when you get it!

Bought another 8....this one has a different type of bridge, might have to grab a Hipshot 8 and drill some holes...pursuant to the last time I posted in here about one, it's supposed to have a fatter neck than the Ibby 8s; more like an LTD is what I was told and that sold me. See what happens.

Which 8 did you get?

I think it would be fun to have an 8 around, but every time I try them I get a wrist cramp by just looking at them. I always think about taking a 7 and detuning it to F#, like tuning a 6 string down to be like the top 6 on a 7.

Congrats! Let's see how you like that compared to the GSP1101!

I keep thinking about a Matrix myself. Kinda interested in the Freyette Power Station though also.

That should be a GREAT college rig! I remember I used a Rocktron Chameleon or Boss GX-700 into my home stereo :lol:

Scored a brand new Marshall JVM 1 watt head from a Canadian store for $350.

I have a trade deal lined up with my 8 for nice 7. If that falls through though I'll just sell the 8, and probably won't put the money towards gear.

That M8M copy that was in the classifieds....was cheap enough to keep around. I have enough guitars that it doesn't have to get played all the time, but like you said, I think it'd be fun to have around. I can play them for about a half an hour before the cramps set in. :)

Locking tuners, M8 pickup, hard tail, etc...should be fun. I'll probably mess with it for a month or two and then send it off to a couple friends that wanted to try that pickup.

Used to have an RGD2127FX that I let go about a year ago. Really miss that guitar and now GASing for a RGD2127Z. Also need a good 212 combo amp. Been looking at that Blackstar HT Metal 60.

In that order. The Kemper may or may not happen, but I'm going along with the whole wishful thinking thing. The RG should be here next week.
