I think the only thing I might break pedge/flip things for during the SS period is the Erika Synths AcidBox, since it's basically been an impossibility of the universe for it to be in stock and me to have the money for one at the same time (back in stock "end of september".... maybe my Landlord will take noise walls for rent?) Polivoks is love, Polivoks is life.

Fuck I completely forgot about this thing. I've been looking at the individual modules they make based off the Polivoks as well. Might have to break for this too.

Speaking of things I completely forgot: I totally have an Echo Degrader I have to pay for, so this is almost certainly off the table until next year. Not a real problem, but kind of a shame.

I need to get at least one power supply, but probably more like two. Thinking of the new MXR Iso-bricks.

Should probably look into a new board or two as well... perhaps a novo24 or novo32. Gotta do some measuring. Le sigh.

I'm on a strange anti-gear buying trend.

Back in August I traded my Beta Lead and JCA Pico Valve for an EQD Arrows and a PRS Baritone. I've spent very little time with either device. I think I'll be giving the Arrows more of a test drive today. I got to play with it just a little bit last week and it was super pleasing to my ears, especially while clean, and so today I might try to run it as my "pre-amp" before all of the things pedal. This works out well since I found out my Whetstone has an issue with jacks/switch that needs to be addressed. Waiting to hear back from Blackout on that.

Needs:

1) Just ordered a new jack plate for my 2x12. The cab has been crackling on lower frequencies. Either I blew two speakers (Swamp Thangs, 150w a piece, seems somwhat unlikely) or something is fucked with the jack plate. It's all soldered and shit so I figured I'd just order a new one at $30 and see how that goes. I order have a replacement speaker but I'd rather return it (if I can) if it ends up being the jacks. Which would be dope.
2) some speakers for my 2x15. Old ass Peavey speakers that I'd like to replace with some like Weber Michigan's or maybe Eminence Big Bens.
3) Knobs for the baritone PRS. But I'm on the fence. I'm thinking of just selling/trading the Baritone. I don't feel any affinity for it. I was pretty enamored with the idea of a Baritone but it doesn't knock my socks off. Should've held out for a VI or just sold the Beta outright. I'm undecided. I'm sitting on 4 guitars right now and feel like I really only need 2 but selling them isn't proving all that easy.
4) should I man up and get a bigger pedal board? PT2 not totally cutting it. If I go bigger I'll need a secondary power supply. Do I even use/need that many pedals? who fucking knows (ILF says the answer is undoubtedly yes because pedge life)

Amps/cabs
Either want to find a cab that sounds good with guitar through my bass amp, OR get a whole new guitar amp. Get the loud/clean mojo going.

Warren Ellis Tenor

Acoustic guitar
I've been trying to make myself buy one for like 5 years but I'm always tempted away by shiny noisy things. Next year it's happening for real!

BCBC has me convinced the Brugera 1960 will solve my ideas about an amp that does bass well and serves as a backup for my main amp. But it's not on the list so GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHEAP LOUD AMPLIFIER.

The only thing I could justifiably say I "need" is a decent power supply. But since I sold my Pharaoh Supreme, everything is whisper quiet, so I'm in no rush. I would LIKE, however, a second amp and a HB or p90 equiped guitar.

I really REALLY need a Voodoo Labs 4x4.
And a case for my Jazzmaster.
And a Couch Strap for my Mustang
And a Couch wallet.
Solder. Components. Enclosures. Knobs.
That's for me and santee though

I'd like a new tremolo for my JM too. Maybe Mastery? Maybe AVRi?

Until my Baritone is finished I'm buying ZERO pedals.

I bought a Dirty Doper in the preorder and immediately realized I had made a financial mistake so it's going to someone else.

I miss npd though. It's an addictive feeling.

In terms of guitar gear I think all I'm looking to buy is a second amp (haven't decided what yet but something at the lower end of the wattage spectrum), parts for a baritone build I've been working on and eventually a monson guitar. None of that is happening until the spring once I've paid my second semester tuition

Fuck I just realized I have forgotten to replace my pads in my Akai MPC1000. Fucking fuck. Guess that is on the list.

I have only bought 2 pedals since I posted here

That's good right?????

Same. I have a 71 tele that didn't come with an OHSC, so the spot I bought it from threw in a shitty TKL that's too long for the guitar. I've needed to buy it a proper case for years but have held off due to sheer annoyance.

I also need a pedal switcher really badly. Would make my life a lot easier, but I've neglected to do it because I'm stupidly hung up on buying more pedals instead.
