norm, pardon the dumb question, but you still enjoying that albion? i'm 90% likely heading out to see the 50w version in live action this sunday, and will make a firmer decision once that's happened. i'm completely sold on the clean channel, but i want to hear how the dirty channel breaks up proper-like. either way, after my recent tokai sg acquisition, i'll have to wait until next year to get it. i'm hoping that means the one at music connection is a) still available and b) a little more shop-soiled discounted. he he...

I so wish I could see an estimate of turnover spent by us smitten guitarists... 8)

Uh.... I bought various picks and strings. Two strap retainers (Tapastring - V Good).

Is that even "gear"?

Tapastrings are good stuff, Thanks Bob

I think you have everything you need, except for that Lowden ?

Squonk's lean 2011 had only one inclusion - A Roland Cube30x which I dont really use because I suck at Electric Guitar playing.

☹ I bought 3...maybe 4 guitars this year

Manuel Rodrigues Caballero
Manuel Contreras C7
Jose Ramirez R4
and a 4th guitar that was inexpensive but a very nice Cedar topped Ibanez classical as a gift for a friend

Things are getting out of hand.

So gear that I have sold is:
Boss ME-50 Multi-Effects
Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion
Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal
Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

And gear that I have bought:
Epiphone Goth Flying V
Cort Z42 Flametop
MXR M-117R Flanger
EHX Nano Small Stone Phaser
Boss DD-20 Giga Delay
MXR Distortion +
EHX Pocket Metal Muff
So it's been quite an eventful year for me and might I add that I'm only 15 years old. I'm in the process of buying an MXR Stereo Chorus. So thats one pedal closer to my dream pedalboard î•

I don't think I can remember what I sold but this is what I bought this year:

Cort Earth Mini
Squire Classic Vibes Tele
SX Vintage Strat (sold)
Ibanez Gio Bass

ZVEX box of rock (won)

Tone Rider Strat pups

Ibanez TSA head and cab

I'm sure there's more that I have left out.

And you believe that, Norm?? Just let it out man, we all ENJOY (I agree with Alan) Gas ..... ?

To have GAS, you need money! Fortunately (or unfortunately actually), i dont have that much disposable income!
So im exempt form experiencing GAS (for now) ?
I do have a few things on my wishlist though!
A Boss Fender FRV-1 Reverb Pedal and some kind of MFX!
I would still love a Vox Tonelab EX, but the Zoom G3 has reaaaaaally picked my interest too!
I only really want trem / vibrato / chorus / delay at this moment so the Zoom is ahead!

Dom!

Not a dumb question!!
I am enjoying the Albion yes!! i love the clean, and the OD / Distortion is good enough for me!
this thing is SUPER loud too... at 33%, master on 5, channel on 10, gain on 5 and drive on 5, its LOUD! lets not even get into the 100% setting!!!

The reverb is good, buuuuuuut, i want more! Its as if it models a more medium length spring!
Ideally though, i want to get a Boss Fender FRV-1 Reverb pedal, if i can find one! and maybe i'll cascade the reverbs, if really needed ?
i would love a real Fender 63 outbaord Spring reverb tank! but probably the closest would be that pedal! (i only really like spring reverb!)

Other than that, im getting a nice cabinet made to house my cab and head!
something similar to this:
(quick sketch up in google sketchup!)

Would you do that for something you didnt love??
I have also bought some nice black vinyl to have covers made for the head and cab!
I just need to get some nice goldish piping to finish the covers off and let them look really professional when they get done!

Sorry for the long-winded message!
TL?R:
I love it yes ?

I bought a few things like guitars and recording things and amplifiers (well just a bass amplifier and an Roland AC60) and yesterday I went and bought two sprayguns with a whole lot of pipe and little connectors and things.

And I just got some stuff shipped from Warmoth today.

Yup, I think one of those is my next PA purchase. I've looked long and hard at comps and there is nothing else I'd really consider.
