What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[cwhitey2]

I actually had double check, but I did not make 1 purchase in 2019 other than strings

So I decided to start the year off with: https://www.earthquakerdevices.com/life-pedal

It's software and you can update the firmwarw to get it.

Nice... I have to see if I brought it with me. Otherwise I'll set a calendar reminder to do in 9 months lol.

I wanted to get a Roland Jupiter XM, but figured I'd wait a few months, or at least after namm. Nord announced the Nord Wave 2 also, but that's probably going to be $3k+, so I'll be waiting on that a while too. Maybe around my birthday this year I'll get something nice for myself.

Grabbing some plugs and cable to rewire my gross-ass pedalboard once I get paid this week. Might be able to clear up enough room to fit a Zuul clone...

 

[LeviathanKiller]

Debating on picking up a sick Mayones Duvell Elite 7 that's come up for grabs...

 

[Metropolis]

Neural DSP Arcetype: Nolly. Lead tones in this are just killer, and having another 5150 flavor doesn't hurt. This and Nameless covers almost everything for me, and I will see about Quad Cortex also at end of the year.

Just scored a Schecter JL7 (1st gen) for 110$!

I think the next gear purchase is going to be an Orange of some description to complement my Thrasher 120 - Something with a bit more squish/growl and not as dry/clinical/clanky.

I'm praying we get a cool new Orange amp. That's maybe my #1 or #2 thing that would improve NAMM for me right now.

I vaguely remember an interview last year that Jim Root did saying that his mini head was discontinued and that he and orange were working on something. If that turned out to be a 50w/100w sig head I'm so down because that filthy/muddy tone he gets is definitely the vibe I'm after.

Well apparently they canceled my order and are not getting anymore in (musicians friend) The fuck...

* I see this as an investment in life experience for musical inspiration. Musical gear : )
- I'm thinking of a Flat-Earth mechanism (like a sort of Trojan horse) or hat I can take on/off, so I can attract OR repel whomever I want at the bar. Smart and dumb people will gather around for this subject in a bar. A hat would work well! This way if I want to have some fun and I'm feeling mischievous, I can attract a bunch of people, get them arguing about flat earth, and then just leave! But being a mischievous jerk is not the goal here. It's only half the story.
- It may prove especially useful to sacrifice the hat as a visual prop for the "herd" to use when they get all drunken scientist about it. I could use it to help remove a particularly overbearing a$$hole away from an (actually) cute metal girl I've been noticing lately, so I can make my move and pull her aside without dumb nuts getting in my way.
- This might even qualify as a tax deduction under work related equipment. I'll have to check into that.
- Worth a try for $12. Think of all the fun one could have with this hat! : )
- Hey, when you're not a drinker, bars can get boring. I just go for the billiards and occasional female.
- It's Music gear.

It's a Bronze age condom for "little" people.

I’m thinking about picking up a Jackson Pro Loomis Kelly whenever it gets released

 

[gunch]

Think I’m gonna do a BEOD and a IR pedal this year

Fender Ice Blue HM Strat

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

my ATH-M40Xs are dead now.

Debating on if I get another set, try the M50Xs, or try the Beyer DT770s

The sennheiser HD6xx are worth looking into. I upgraded to 6xxs my K240s and it's a big difference. Much more even sounding.

Thought I was going to hunt for an old plexi; wound up with another Fender
This is the last point to point amp Fender produced. It was designed by amp legend, Ed Jahns, and features ultra linear transformers and 140w output (switchable to 75w) from 4 6L6GC’s. The tone stack comes right off of V1a and has pull pots to boost BMT, and a pull bright for Volume. Off of V4a is the 5 band GEQ (90,240,750,2.3k,6.2k) It’s very clean for a 40 year old amp, and stock, minus 2 small Paktron caps that have been replaced with Orange Drops.

The preamp tubes are all original, and date to the 43rd week of 1980. All the Mallory electrolytic caps date between 1978-1980, so I’ll be recapping this soon and testing the tubes. Power tubes are Ruby MSTRs so those are obviously newer.

It needs an odd foot switch to engage the lead channel, so I need to find a schematic and build one. The clean channel is insanely good though. The reverb is outstanding, and it breaks up well with the right combo of volume/master/gain control manipulation.

Part of me wants to mod it for all 12ax7’s, steal the reverb pre for another switchable gain stage, and make a sleeper high gain monster; but it’s such a rare amp that I’m not sure I want to... yet
