What’s been tickling your itch during the pandemic gear wise? I’ve been getting to know stuff I have a little better while waiting on the mail to bring me the stuff I thought I’d throw myself into...but sadly international mail has been SLOW and not moving.

Been thinking about maybe getting a Mood or maybe going hog while and getting a synth?

Ive been refining my setup one that will work with 12 string bass, cello and lap steel

MOOD and Dark World for sure. The last thing I picked up before we really hunkered down here was an EHX 8 Step Program, and that plays really nicely with the Chase Bliss stuff.

My life is basically the same as before. Ordered an LP, some new sneaks and a beanie yesterday tho, haven't done that in a while.

Just dirt and reverb so far but I'm really hankering for some glitchy/granular/time stretchy stuff. But I'm having trouble deciding between the Tensor, Outward, MOOD, Particle, or whatever else is out there that I'm not hip to. I just wanna make it stretchy!

Finally I bought a new board and I'm rewiring everything in these days during the spare time, can't wait to have everything set up and working. the only other things I'd like to have on it are th Arcing Prisms and the Pigtronix Infinity instead of the RC30. and

I've done (most of*) my pandemic panic buying, the next thing to do is learn how to use them all.

In has come three Meris - Ottobit Jr, Polymoon and Hedra - an Alexander Superball and a Subdecay M3, plus a Morningstar MC6 for more patches from the Meris and Alexander pedals.



*I'm trying to decide if I really need an Afterneath V3

Learning the new modules I bought recently. Bought a compressor, I've wanted one for a while. Playing with different fuzz combinations.

I hope I've done my pandemic buying though I nearly bought one of those Boris ECTs yesterday until I found they were sold out

I ordered an Afterneath V3.

With the kids home, I haven't had a lot of time to play but I have had a chance to organize the music room and put up guitar hangers on the wall. It's nice to have the extra floor space.
The gear acquisition I've been happiest with lately is the Pladask Bakfram. Playing it feels like riding a wave. It satisfies the same thing in me as a good reverb but it's more present.

I got a huge ATA case off Craigslist and have started building a new pedalboard to fit it. My old 32"x16" has been embarassingly full for a while now, working fine for practice, but not really being practically mobile for anything else. Many pedals had been forced to migrate somewhat off the edge of the board, or entirely off the board in the case of volume and expression.

Been spending more time digging into different modes of pedals I wouldn't normally use and finding interesting tones. Also thought I was going to have to expand to fit some stuff that is supposedly shipping this month but realistically I'll just swap out things that aren't getting as much use.

Not really interested in gear at the moment. Trying to help with friends' projects remotely to keep myself busy.

I'm still good pedalwise, but I bought a cheap Volca Sample that popped up locally yesterday. I've been looking at samplers for a good while now, and this seems like a good place to start. So we shall see what I can get it to do while being stuck in home office.

Yaaaay you got iiiit
