I can't think of any pedals I currently want to add to the mix, but right now there's one instrument I can't get to for all the pedals on stands in the way, so I'm going to have to move all my gear out of the way, put the desk that's behind them out of the way and put the pedals, amp etc. in the space left by the desk so I can get to my piano

No point in it taking up masses of space if I don't use it, and I like a lot of the slow, thoughtful way Radiohead use piano, so maybe I should try a bit of that.

My main practical gear goal is to find ways to cut down my rig so I'm dragging less junk out to gigs (and taking forever to set up and tear down).

Music goals:
- I have a solo album that's getting a physical release, and a release show pretty much planned up. So, hoping to get momentum from that I guess.
- try to set up more duo-ish improvising duo gigs, especially ones where I get to manipulate other people's sounds with my pedals and whatnot.
- wrangle some more band gigs and try to help set up some actual proper recording time.
- get some guitar calluses back, and go through my dad's old fakebooks to come up with a country tribute set.

Play more.
Secondary goals:
Downsize the board a little
Dr. Scientist the Atmosphere
A new standard analog voiced delay
A more experimental delay (any suggestions?)
A new OD that satisfies me

Actually I'm doing the exact opposite of downsizing, but for the rest I'm quite OK. Atmosphere is wonderful, Molecular Distruptor is a really cool experimental delay (and a lot more). Rubberneck is incoming as main analog one, and I decided not to change the OD but to go with the rehousing option, which should be done in a few days.

Now I "just" need to play more.

Reality: Sell a few things, buy everything except what I really want and/or need.

2019 goals:
1) Buy pedals
2) Hate myself
3) Sell more pedals
4) Complete my 7U case
5) Release 2 albums, because 1 just seems like too much anyway might as well shoot for 2
6) Do a collaboration
7) Break up one of my bands
8) Play a show
9) Break up the 2nd band
10) Set more things on fire

2) Replace the humbuckers in my SG with a pair of Frost Giants I already have, and find a more interesting pickguard to match.
3) Start planning out and building a baritone guitar.
4) Replace my guitar pedalboard with a custom-built, folding one, and get a Mercury7 to finish it up.
5) Get a Freqout, Mini, Shigeharu, Tonal Recall RKM, and small-to-medium pedalboard to finish up my baritone board.
6) Get a small board for my bass pedals.
7) Replace the two blown speakers in my Quad Reverb with Redbacks, and subsequently replace the other two speakers with the same.

Maybe get some other instrument to change things up? Like a sampler or something? Or maybe not?
Record the new iRerror album. The only clear gear-related goal of the year.

I’ll say I have no desire for new pedals but that’s probably not really true. But I want to spend less on gear this year.

I’ve been far more interested in Synths so that’s something I may start squirreling away some money for but really I should just get a solid MIDI controller and use the synths I have in iOS and Logic/VST.

Disarm D'arcy wrote:Yes go.

I’m probably buying a ring mod this year. Still have to solve the conundrum of loving the sound of the Moogerfooger but disliking its format.

Maybe an OPamp Big Muff just for the sake of being my teenage SP fanboy again?

Build a small rack to augment my Folktek stuff and Grandmother Check..kind of..bought a case and racked Mescaline and added a couple of other Folktek modules but haven't gotten too far with it
Bass Amp.. contemplating switching to bass for a live project..Check..kinda developed a little crush on playing bass as I was working on some demos..eventually drunk purchased a cheap bass amp at Earthquaker Day.. Don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to try and join a band as a bass player but it's nice to be able to play without going direct/using headphones if want
Still holding out hope for Zoia Check, did not disappoint
Mayyybe a Tensor and/or Enzo No and No, did end up getting a bunch of other pedals tho including Mood, Fabrikat, and Blooper which has scratched the Tensor itch. As far as Enzo is concerned, I think for now I'd rather play my actual synths rather than simulate it on guitar
I always squirrel a little away for if/when EQD releases something cool Check..Plumes is awesome and has been a mainstay on my board ever since
