After 2015's vast outpouring of money, I have no more gear goals. It's all on me now...hard pushing in practice. Identify those weak areas, develop the exercises to improve them, and then hammer hammer hammer hammer. My poor poor roommate. I do not envy anyone who has to witness that kind of repetition.

Having made some big purchases recently, namely an awesome switcher with which I can now really take advantage of some awesome presets, I'm feeling pretty set for the moment. That will, of course, change, addiction being a cruel mistress and all.

That said, I'm psyched to get some verb shit settled with picking up a Reverberator (order just put in), and I'd love the Tonal Recall to kick my Timeline off of my board. Having some analog delay presets will be fucking rad...

We built this city. Boner City.

things I have to pay for:
New run Count To 5
Ezhi&aka The Tape and Moomindrone+
LAL Misty Cave

Things I want to at least try bc I'm a sucker:
Mother 32
Iron Ether Oxide

BUT BUT BUT most importantly I want to get better at writing drum parts and write and record one song per day in February for my town's One A Day.

February one a day got moved back to march for me, but i am actually doing this improv techno thing with one partner, and writing drum parts for this industrialpunk thing that i like, and I am super pumped to be making interesting drum parts on drum machines. I really want to branch into modular drum sequencing in the future, but for the time being my immediate goal is to find/make/record more interesting percussive and vocal samples for both projects.

Pedal acquisition desires have been substantially ramped down for rack gear and multi channel multifx. Hopefully my new more guitar oriented band pans out, too, but after new bass amp, bass rig goals are mostly a chorus/flange/vibe and then done-ish.

Need to start building more pedlols

get my broken amps fixed.

Finish redoing my wife's P Bass again because I'm selling my Jazz Bass, and pay off my King Buzzo so I can buy a Benson Tall Bird Tube Reverb for my Science

Sold off all of my pedals except for Spaceman Orion (which replaced the tube reverb that I also bought), Klon, Moog Delay, and cluster flux. Did end up selling a decent amount of other stuff. I would really like to slim down on amps again. Get this Traynor TS25 working, and just have my Shiv, Dirge Combo, TS25, and 2x12. Sell off my Peavey Combo and my 1x12 and clear some space out. Hell, could even get rid of the 2x12 and wouldn't miss it much.

Seriously, all my gear is so vastly superior to my own playing abilities, that it boggles my mind sometimes just how good it all is. I need to seriously catch up in a big way this year.

Re-do my pedalboard to finally encompass everything I want. 2 dirts, 3 pitchshifters, 1 delay, and 1 lo-fi verb plus an expression pedal. Finish my MU modular, sell off useless gear after that, buy a new amp head and sell my sovtek mig50. Play a lot more shows. My tone is definitely a lot better than it has ever been though

fuck worrying about gear. i need to finish this record my band's been writing for four goddamn years.

this year, i swear.

New LAL, plus Sick Pitch King and 87.
MASF Bloody Emily.
Try moar rangmødz.

Oh, and get into more of the cool diy circuits, maybe just buying some of the random stuff Jero and Skully post.

Yeah, I have trimmed a little of the fat, and am down to pedals I'm more than happy with. Also, got the Robotum, which scratches my ring mod itch until I get my hands on an SPK.

Have bought, or am in the process of buying, the last few oscillating fuzzes I'm interested in trying, leaving only the white whales which I'll happily spend the rest of my life chasing.

UC's buying habits more or less cover the last point.

So, as a result of this, I'm thinking about saving up for a tape delay. Apart from that, there is very little gear out there that interests me.

new goals: shred, shred, SHRED & drone

FInally find a fuzz I am 100% happy with. I also want to pick up some modulation. A flanger and maybe a chorus or vibrato (got my eye on the VB-2w).

Haha. Maybe it's not? How about 90% then?
