NEW GEAR!! Buying anything?

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

The Chupacabra will be shipped tomorrow, officially...Just guessing, it should be here by the end of the week, maybe Thursday...This has been the longest fuckin' 5-6 weeks in my entire life, but it's winding down & almost over...It's still hard for me to believe this is really happening...It might not seem that big of a deal to you guys, but this really is a big thing for me...Out of all the gear I've gotten rid of in the last 5 years or so, the Chupacabra is the only thing I truly regretted letting go...

I'm about to jizz in my pants just thinking about it... :lollers2:

I'm sure you guys know to expect a thread with pics & clips before too long... :minernuggs:

Well, I caved and bought a god damned over priced fuzz pedal. Im not a huge fuzz guy but this sounds nice and creamy/smooth to me, not so harsh. We'll see how it sounds once it arrives. For now videos:

Ooh nice! I'm a recent convert to fuzz pedals. That one looms really good! Anxious to hear it.

Nice! I keep mine on all the time, love it. I keep it at about 11:00. That is one of my all time favorite pedals, and Ive had a lot of pedals over the years.

Yeah well we'll see. I'm not a pedal guy....but when I do pedal....I clean boost.

I have always been interested in the EP Boost, but not at $120 new. No way. No fucking way. I've been patient and vigilant and finally found this one for 60 bucks and I had a 50 dollar gift card in my pocket. My cost - $10. No problem.

Everyone says its like some magic pedal and I thought it was hype but as soon as I used it I understood. I gotta roll back on my volume a bit with clean humbuckers, but I love whatever eq flavor that thing brings to the table. I dont always use it with distortion either but I have been more and more.

BTW with it after my new fuzz its awesome.

I set mine for "unity"....which I'm assuming means when turned down it's at unity and flat EQ response. I'm gonna try it like this and see.

I've picked up a couple of things recently (actually, over the last 5 months). For my live sound gigs, I upgraded my Behringer X18Air to a Behringer X32 Rack. I'm also about to get the S32 Digital Stage box. I also needed some subs so I picked a couple of db Technologies Sub 615 which are powered 15" subs. All of this gear puts me in a better position for bigger and better paying sound gigs (which is how I make my money).

db Subs https://www.adorama.com/dbsub615.html?g ... M8QAvD_BwE

I also picked up this bad boy from a friend who gigged with it for years. He recently upgraded to a Dr. Z. I love this thing as it's a bit more versatile than my Princeton and not as heavy as some of my other amps.

Nice Bill...I almost bought the Behringer XR18 to use as my audio interface, but went with the Tascam 16x08 because of the price...I've looked at the Behringer digital mixers (with faders) too, but that would be overkill for my use...Behringer seem to have upped their game with the quality of build on their gear...

Looks like a great rig all 'round!!! :minernuggs:
