For recording: Tube pre amp, compressor, ribbon mic
For guitar: Diamond compressor pedal, EHX Memory Man XO, volume pedal, new pickguard & pickup covers (going for the mint green pickguard with black pup covers for my sunburst Jag)

Yeah that should be about it. Don't need much these days.

Try more shit I wasn't able to try for a while and not sell any of the shit I actually use to achieve it.

Also more moments like a week ago when I suddenly found a ton of sounds in the pedals I grew too used to. Keep surprising them so they surprise me. Maybe get my board a bunch of flowers for valentine's.

sell shit.
Dude. If selling feces is feasible in 2018, then I'm going to be swimming in money.
I've got two dogs and my own personal supply if anyone is looking to buy some shit.

On my radar:

Guitar: Convince EGC to make me a Lefty TB1000 so I can quit buying guitars.
Bass: PBass
Drums: Istanbul & Meinl cymbals on my list
Synth: Octatrack
Recording: Amphion One12 monitors and Apollo Twin MKII
I could have done a lot worse. Just google it, but before you do grab a bottle of jack and a revolver and prepare yourself for the event horizon.

Guitar wise I really just want a bit quest, a compressor and a preamp. Anything else will come at a whim's notice.

Other than that I am ascending to join my brothers in modular. :zen:

Revised post-Christmas plans:

Build stuff: custom dirt, PS-021, maybe a Blue Shift if Boss doesn't drop the DC-2w at NAMM.
Driving Notion
Pitchfactor or H9
Volca Sample

I really want to take cello lessons this year. Maybe I'll be able to pull that off. That's a good gear goal I think.

That's a good one.
For the latter, some inspiration check out this guy's channel.

And for the former... There's no C Assembly, unless you missed a coma and want to learn both, C and Assembly. And for C, no better start than The C Programming Language.

Actually work almost completely kills my DIY drive. There's stuff I've been wanting to make for myself for years (pedals that probably wouldn't sell) but I never get around to it.
