2017: the year in gear

[HorseyBoy]

Amps for me. An Airline 62-9013A and a Da Vinci/Magnatone 413. Both combo amps with 1 x 12" speakers. Seems I have a thing for easy to carry, versatile amps.
Best fuzz I picked up is a jerms Supa MkI and a Monolith Violet Ram's Head (Monolith Bug Bear) that is probably the best Muff in the history of Muffdom…

[01010111]

Those were pretty much the deciding factors for me. Also I just love the JC clean - I love clean sounds.

The JC-40 was the best option, especially against vintage ones as they are rather pricey here, quite heavy and don’t have true stereo ins. The RI is excellent.

Cool, I’m a big fan of clean toan (I actually love the way a guitar plugged straight into a mixer sounds). I hate to use this terminology, but does it sound as “warm” as your tube amps? One thing I love about tube amps is the amount of presence and “warmth”.

I bought a JC-40 after D'arcy, and I can't recommend it enough. It's so loud. So, so loud. Punishingly loud. It's ridiculous honestly. Love that thing. Supreme amp.

I was worried about it being loud enough! So, that’s really good to know! How much quieter is it when you’re using both channels independently (like running a synth on the left and your guitar on the right)?

So I just wrote this last week

I also went from 100-ish watts of toob amp to 15 watts and I'm not sorry.

but... INNNNNNNcoming

I had one of these and sold it like a dumdum and have been looking for another the last year or so. I mostly bought camping and outdoor gear all year but this winter it is fucking on. Also incoming is a $35 boneshaker, a super gnarly custom warmjet v fuzz in the works by DRod, and my Secret Satan gift is stll out there lurking in the shadows. Really excited for all this loot to roll in.

That'd be the Roadmaster, no? EIther wey, Peavey kvlt fuck yeah!

[gnomethrone]

Yeah I think he used roadmasters and Kim favored the rock master. I'd been using an old Butcher which is prime kvlt but these little guys sling just as much beef and weigh like half as much.

Dunno man. I have no way of finding out , but I can't imagine it would be a major issue volume wise no matter how it's run. My band is a loud band, and I can't get this thing over 3 at rehearsals. Which is bananas for a solid state 40w 2x10 combo.

Went through a bit this year. I guess I’m never satisfied.

-Traded a Nemesis for an old Vantage VS695.
-Promptly bought another Nemesis.
-Bought a Peavey Rock Master, then got rid of it as fast as I could.
-Sold my Mig 60, bought an HD130.
-Traded my Atlas 4x12 for an Atlas 2x12 so I didn’t have to lug that bitch to shows anymore.
-Missed the bottom end from a 4x12, traded the Atlas for a 1960A. (Meh.)
-Sold an RV-6 and bought a Ventris.
-Traded said Ventris for the Empress Reverb.
-Traded the Vantage for an Eastwood Sidejack baritone.
-Found a Raptio, jumped on that quick.

Other than a couple pedals and hopefully another cab swap, I think I’m where I want to be right now.
