My Omega 2x12 cab and ESP Horizon NT-7B...does it count that I ordered my Omega Granophyre in 2020 but haven't got it yet?? Lol
 
My favorites were the Ceriatone Yeti 50 w/6550s I got my MYLILSS, and both Gibson Les Paul Customs I bought (an '87 rode hard and put away wet, plus a '94 I had refretted with stainless jumbos).

After not playing that much over the last 14 years since I started playing bass and joined a couple bands, I'm glad to be picking up the 6 stringers regularly again. It was a good year to do it.
 
1988 Marshall 1959S. I wonder where I can find one of my own?!
 
For 2020 it's a toss up between the Rocktron Plexi and the Rockmaster. At first The Roctron was my #1 but once I fixed a number of issues my Rockmaster had when I got it that became my go to preamp. A year later it's settled into an application thing which is how it should be.

Guitar wise my Mayones Regius with Evertune. Amp wise its hard to call it. I really loved the Leviathan from Ceriatone but I sold it to fund something else. The KSR PA50 is probably my go to 95% of the time these days.
 
Two this year -

PRS Tremonti II - I had sold off two of my three years back and regretted it greatly. Found another at a good price and it's become my number one guitar. Can't put it down. Plays great, sounds great and looks great and oddly enough at my age and all the years of playing my first "Sunburst" colored guitar lol.

Vahlbruch Chorus pedal - Why? Well after literally what seems like forever since de-racking my pedals and my rack effects and going with all the pedals on the pedalboard route and purchasing every chorus pedal out there, I finally found "my" perfect chorus pedal. I can say I pretty much went though every supposed great chorus pedal on the market barring the Free the Tone Tri-Avatar, one of the very, very few I did not try. But no need, as soon as I plugged in the Vahlbruch and dialed it in, there it was. Think the perfect CE1/CE2 but more with a mix control. Great with gain, great with clean. In fact I searched and bought for so long it became a routine, now I have to fill that time with something else. And just bought another for my smaller board I am putting together.
 
I only bought one piece of gear in 2020, a ‘76 LP Custom.

Edit: Oops. I forgot that the wife bought me that Hotone Purple Wind. That’s a fun little amp

I've since sold the Omega. I did a comparison iphone video with both amps that I posted on one of the facebook groups awhile back. I don't really Youtube, so I really don't have a link or anything. It's either in Chuglife or the Heavy Metal Amps and Pedals group if you search.
