The talk you OUT of GAS thread!

[phantasmagorovich]

There are lots of expenses coming up, shit, I basically can't spend any money for the rest of the year and I still won't even have a car to show for it.


BUT:

I have the feeling that I am holding out without buying new toys for so long that I am going mad with gas. I might explode.

Polytope or Clean Clarinot because I am definitely lacking awesome warbles on the board.
Koma Filter/Sequencer, because I really like the delay and I could use the sequencing for the drone band.
I am also kinda missing some stuff I sold, like the Mini Wolf CPU and the Prometheus.
I want to get into playing by myself more again but for that to really be fun I'd need a looper.
A recording/interface shizz I can use with both my ipad and my laptop.
A bi-amping setup consisting of two 15W heads with 2x12 cabs. One british crunchey voiced, one american chrome clean.
And i won't even start on fuzzies.

Shit. What to do? Can someone be so kind as to explain to me a) how to rob a bank without getting caught or b) that I don't need all this stuff?

I want an Acoustic 1x15 cab so that I can get more bass and volume out of my Hartke HA2000. Is this a good idea?

[skullservant]

I had an Ampeg B115 that I used and abused for about a year and a half. It really could withstand anything. I'm not sure of the Acoustic, but it seems like those are built decently for the price. What speakers are you running through now?

[GardenoftheDead]

A Hartke 4x10 cab, but it's only got an 8 ohm load. You need to run the amps at 4 ohms to get the advertised volume.

[skullservant]

Would you be sending the Hartke into both cabs? 4x10 + 1x15 setups are pretty awesome. And the Acoustic and Ampeg cabs go for really cheap. I would look used for one of them, they pop up everywhere!

[GardenoftheDead]

Would you be sending the Hartke into both cabs?

I would yes.

I've been GAS free and haven't bought or sold a pedal in over a year.

Did this just turn into GAS Anonymous?

If so, I need a sponsor...

[skullservant]

Would you be sending the Hartke into both cabs?

I would yes.

If you could find one cheap, I'd say it'd be a good idea!

Do it. I have two, they've put up with my shit for four years now.

straight pedge does not condone this thread

I am mega gassing for fuzz.

I have

1x Rat Clone
1x Rat Tail
1x Megalith
1x TGD (on its way I hope)

and I have been kicking around the idea of selling everything but the clone and getting a Caprid or VSS Twosome. I also sent John Lyons a pm about a custom fuzz that I am not firm on yet.

Almost though about selling the POG2 I got two weeks ago.

Fuck me I need help.

from what i've seen of the Twosome, you'd be losing capabilities by unloading the current gear which wouldn't be replaced by the VSST or by the Caprid, especially if you've got a TGD coming in. it seems especially odd to sell both Rats since you obviously like them or you wouldn't have two. why not wait and see what kind of sick shit the TGD will do with the other stuff running into/after it? maybe after you get the GD integrated, think about something Muff-ular.

[dubkitty]

and try matching the gain on the Rats with both of them on...if you can get the clipping synched JUST right, it can produce a wonderful naturally compressed sound that's great for sustained leads.

I sold my TimeLine and won't be able to afford another for a long time. I was checking out the Vox DelayLab...I have a Zoom B3 (pretty damn good pedal overall actually) and there are some decent delays on it...I play bass. Some delay is very cool, but do I need a ton of delay right now?

I would have to sell my MountainKing Magnetar for a delay pedal. I have no monies to just buy something.
That would be stupid huh?
