With talking about what everyone got in 2016 just curious what everyone's plans are for 2017? Not what you'd like to buy in your craziest fantasy, but what you have realistic plans for. Here's mine in order of priority:
Green Matamp GT-150
Half the new Mountainking stuff
New pedalboard
Custom Philly Fuzz pedal
Pharaoh Cabs custom cab (either 2x12 or 4x12 to match my 2x15)
So by the looks of it most my paychecks for the first half of the year are already spent haha

There's a similar thread to this down below, but whatevs. LOL
I want to get a lot of stuff. I mainly want to get more into DIY though to save a bit.

This thread is different enough I think.
More DIY
Less hoarding
Less of what is in my comfort zone
Take some electronics class so I have a real understanding of what I'm doing besides the basics and things I picked up having an EE as a father.

First DIY project of 2017: Build a full 12U studio case. Not sure what to get for wood, but this project is going to make me want to drill my dick through the Earth probably.

Eurorack and desktop matrix mixers (one of each) are priority #1.

Basically trying to not go as nuts as I did this year. To be fair though, I did sell a ton of shit.
Imminent: Creston old wood offset
Considering: Analog Heat, Ekdahl Moisturizer, Microgranny
In general though, the plan is less gear, more travel.

Yeah I hear that, I have a lot of travel plans too. I'm not good at saving money

* MAYBE mod/fix some of my guitars. treble bleed mods, better tuners, stuff like that.
I've also been debating putting new pickups in my main live bass because the stock ones are super noisy among other things with the tone I'm not crazy hyped on but I haven't 100% committed to the idea as it will likely require me having a custom harness wired too, not just a simple drop in and solder.

- Finish a collab "pedal" I'm doing with some other ILFers
- Fully understand a DAW
- Get to know my iPad apps more
- Buy less gear
- Demo all the pedals I own
Basically slowing down my expenses and getting to know the things I own better.

Hoard more, flip less.
Get a new interface when I decide what I want. Think I should go with at least 4-ins.
Sm57 to pair with 421.
Pickup some OBNE V2 stuff.
I think I need to get an HM2 again so that I can write and record my pizza as the one true religion themed blackened "crust" band, Passion of the Crust.
Generation Loss
Twin Stags/happiness/new wizard of pitch
In limbo?
Actually use gear to record and play a show.
