She will bite you!
When we play with her tail she then wants to play with her own tail and will sometimes pull her own fur out, so we then have to distract her
It's the annual "What came and what went" gear in review thread...

I feel just the same. I can always get new gear. I rarely play these days so all my stuff just sits there getting dusty. Thankfully pet insurance is helping. I just don't want to dig too deep into savings or jack up the credit card if I can avoid it.

I’ll tell you one thing, tax season next year is going to suck for many in this thread when banks and online portals start generating 1099-Ks. Not just profits, but having to calculate everything and keep track of the paperwork for audit purposes.
I got into so much trouble with my fiancé for the Les pauls I snagged. Are any of the heavy hitters married? What’s your secret?
I would like to hear their answers! Haha!!

But, those Les Pauls are all time bad ass!!

Question: what was it you didn't like about the Suhr SL68 as I was thinking of getting one to replace my Metroplex??

Nothing. It’s a great amp, especially with a power station. I sold it because the 100b came up for sale. Those don’t come up often. I can get another sl68 down the line.

I just want to point out I considered the SL68 before going the metroplex route and i want to remind you the SL68 will require a load box to get the cranked plexi tone with a functional loop, and the metroplex can cop the cranked plexi tone at any volume with the added features of a switchable loop and built in boost all in one. The metroplex is a Swiss Army knife of Marshall tones, I really feel the SL68 is a compromise IMHO.

Hey, do you still have the Randall? If so can you tell me the wires going to the 6 pin din colours please, I can't find a footswitch and I want to make one up.. Cheers.

Hey there! Unfortunately this amps' foot switch is a stereo plug; not the 6 pin version. The chassis is smaller and probably not big enough to use that version from the factory.
But, if you ask this question in the tech sub forum, I'm sure someone will answer.
Good luck!

What came and went: Too much to list.
What stayed: ESP E-II Viper Baritone, Engl Fireball 25, and lots of studio hardware. This has been the spendiest year since I started playing nearly 30 years ago, but getting into studio equipment will do that! I finally have the ability to crank out my own albums at will, with the potential for them to sound as good as any major studio. Now I just need to hone my mixing techniques :O

You'll have to mention some of your studio stuff.

Primacoustic acoustic treatment, Argosy console style desk, ATC SCM20asl monitors, Subwoofer Pros sub, API 3122V, Louder than Liftoff Silver Bullet, Apogee Symphony MkII mastering edition interface, API 5500 eq, API 2500+ compressor, Rupert Neve Designs MBT, Klark KT-2a, patch bay, a few mics, a fuck ton of expensive XLR and TRS cables, a shit ton of plugins, and a partridge in a pear tree! I'd estimate around $50k in total. But I'm also going to be a full blown mastering studio for hire when this is done in a few months.

Way to go. My bro did the same thing, studio gear. We been to enough studios to know even the better studios really aren't usually worth the cash. It's all about the engineer IME and with your own gear that means you have unlimited time to really develop a sound for yourself. Good luck with your efforts Soundstorm.

Had to look at my Reverb. I didn't realize I sold some of this stuff last year, but it says 1 year old in the listing.
Out:
IN:
I have a Quad Cortex, so I got rid of all my amps. I got the Aristides in so I don't really need any other guitars. Paid off a ton of bills and it's been nice not worrying about tubes, fuses, or debt collectors from hospitals. I'd like to find the Aristides H/06 I stupidly sold a few years back, but otherwise I'm done buying guitars/amps. I've just downsized significantly in every aspect and I'm still 9 months GAS FREE.
Out:
- About 5+ guitars from a certain brand.
- PRS Tremonti
- PRS DW CE24 Dustie Waring Sig
- EBMM Jason Richardson Cutlass
- Ibanez RGA321F
- Ibanez RG770DX
- 2x Mesa Straight/Slant Cabs - wish I kept 1
- IIC+ SRG
- IIC+ HG
- IIC+ DRG
- Dual Rectifier Rev G
- Egnater Boutikit
- Matrix GT1000FX
- Fractal Axe FXIII Mark II
- Tons of pedals, pickups and small crap
- Fuji GFX50S II w/Lenses
IN:
- Aristides 060 Hipshot
- Aristides 060 Evertune - I will die with these guitars in my possession
- EBMM Sterling Cutlass - Finally got my kid a nice guitar to grow into
- Fuji x100VI

Thanks man! It's been a lesson. I did go to school for audio engineering over 20 years ago now and have worked in some really nice studios (including Trent Reznor's own studio around 2002/3). Mostly, people pay for the sound of the live rooms, and whatever amazing console they happen to have there. Lots of studios just have their own sound to them. Not to mention the skills of their in house engineers. At this point the only thing holding me back is my own skillset, but I'm getting better and better results and I'm also planning to take a couple online college courses at HOFA college to fill in the gaps since the last time I learned all this stuff. It was quite a high cost of entry but the great thing about high end analog hardware is it doesn't go obsolete with OS updates and it retains its value very well. With that being said I believe if someone has the right skillset a 100% digital approach is totally viable and can get pro level results.
