Your YEAR in GEAR! :)* 2016

[SquareWaveFuzz]

Not been a bad gear year for me;

-EQD Disaster Transport
-Sovtek V7D Big Muff
-BAT Black Forest
-Catalinbread SFT
-EHX Pitchfork

-Fender Standard Jaguar Bass

-Trace Elliot 300W Stereo Power Amp

-Marshall 2x15 Bass Cab

The only ones out of these that aren't getting constant use are the Sovtek, because i'm in the process of making it tour-proof, and the Disaster Transport which I've just sold because it turns out I'm more of a reverb guy than a delay guy

I feel tiny with my list of 6 items.

Yeah, wow. We have been emasculated.

[hotknife]

I'll just list my favs.

DigiTech Timebender - This is my second one. On top of the ridiculous amount of features, the delays sound as good as anything out there.
DigiTech Space Station - Good shit. Enjoying the sounds while I can b4 DigiTech puts out some sort of reissue and the stripper's crotch facial hair P&W crowd vanilla the shit out of it with their brown instagram shoes. #ambient #weird #soupysounds4jesus
Dr. Scientist BitQuest - Great little multi-tool. Useful anywhere in the chain for almost any situation and sounds rad doing it.
Fairfield Accountant + Barbershop - Simple comp and OD with actual character.
Fuzzhugger Suneater - Probably my favorite of the lot. Love this thing sooo much. Sounds as good as it looks.
Fuzzhugger Doom Bloom - 2nd fav fuzz of the lot. Sounds as badarse as it looks.
Keeley 30ms - Inspired by Robin Guthrie, I also picked up a DC-2 (which came with a free DC-3 and HF-2 ) this year. I like the 30ms way more. The Dimension mode is just as good and is much more usable than the DC-2 due to offering more control and it doesn't clip to hell and back.
Keeley Loomer - The dirt side has my favorite muff ever. It's like a triangle muff crossed with an HM-2's chainsaw grind.
MASF Possessed & Raptio - U know dis.
Count to 5 - U know dis too. Mode 2 is my jam.

Future/2017:
Custom Fuzzhuggers. Algal + Doom Bloom combo. Suneater oscillator. Possibly a Lab Ratchet/Arc Flash if still available. And hopefully a Sonic Shroom in an AB-Synth skin if Tom will kindly swing it.
Fairfield Shallow Water
Limbo III
Mooer Ocean Machine since I'm an unabashed DT fanboy.

My god what a list. Also, Timebender crew unite

I honestly didn't know how bad it had been this year until I started writing it down and looking through my records. Next year, I'm seriously changing the way I do shit. I've tried so much that I now know what kind of stuff I dig, so unless someone invents something new, I at least know the types of effects that I like spending money on.

I hear that. Seeing how much I bought and flipped made me wanna curl up into a ball and die. I only had a handful of pedals in 2015. I bought 45 this year, and a new guitar. No wonder I'm constantly skint. But yeah, doing this showed me the pedals I like are synths, pitch shifters and filters, and that I don't particularly care for multiples of mod fx or verbs or delays.....

My only planned purchases for 2017 currently are-

Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run (miss mine and I used it a lot, so much regret)
Providence Brick Drive
a drum machine of some kind
a few Mountainking pedals
Pretty Years (fuck me for selling mine)
and an maybe a few things from Industrialectric

Thought you were gunning for an MWFX Glitch too?

I stopped the list because I realized as I was adding things, that I was going to slowly get worse as it went along. LOL!!! Maybe if I set a goal of only owning those pedals, it can stop. The cycle can end!!! The endless cycle of spending...most likely not though.

BYOC Mouse

Hell yeah! Love always seeing the TB on your board, btw. And your praise for the Suneater helped sway me while I was searching the forum. I need to pick up an HM-2 again as well. lol

[tremolo3]

I traded a Toronado for a 2x12 Sovtek cab.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for an Ikebe Rat that I bought in my birthday a couple of months ago...

[waltdogg]

one of justin smith from ghosti's old ltd vipers, a couple minis, an original musicman sub, some more ampegs, and a les paul traditional. oh i also built up a drum kit with an old pacific kit, new pdp hardware, dw 5000 kick, and zildjian cymbals that i've yet to have any time playing on.

That's tight.

[goosekevin]

Bought and kept:
- 80 Tape Tremolo
- Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl
- Dr Scientist RRR
- New CT5 (flipped old one to fund)
- Korg Minilogue

Bought and Flipped
- OBNE Reflector (which I traded for.....)
- OBNE Dark Star


potentially bought a couple others that I then sold

goals for next year:
- keep selling pedals to consolidate a core board with only a couple of pedals to keep as alternates
- get a nicer amp///fix my classic 30
- play out more
- sell baritone
- get a nice bass rather than 2 shittier ones
- think less about gear

very.
