Recent gets (over the past, like, 6 months):

$2400 CAD of deep-depression Chase Bliss spending (Mood Mk II, Onward, Blooper, EXP Roller): Confusing and nice. Generally prefer my pedals to be a bit more immediately intuitive (I like to look down and know what noise they'll make when I step on them ...

I had one of the Steve Harris basses (blue sparkle/mirror guard) for quite a while - found it surprisingly mellow relative to my other Precisions, but a very good instrument. Currently have a Squier Mascis Jazzmaster, which I've had since... 2011? A bit more aggressive sounding than my other JMs ...

Gear confessions:

#1:
I got a bunch.
This is a very good post indeed.

#2: I have a Bean (Designs). It was my most expensive guitar by a very significant margin. It's not my best guitar - probably not in the top 10, if I'm being honest with myself. It's cool as hell. I am comfortable with the ...

Pages upon pages of rich, deeply psychotic FM Vincent Gallo copy available in this Reverb shop. The Mosrite ad may be my favourite, although this one is close and he namedrops himself.

74 (?) OR80 combo. Has certainly Seen Some Shit but has been serviced recently; needs a couple of little things yet (one speaker that is anything other than the current Marsland, something that isn't duct tape holding the badges on, a bath), but rips. Seller, an excellent, eccentric old man, threw ...

Dumb & perfect. 8ish pounds, somehow. Well on my way to my final form, What If Tom Petersson Was Fat & Homely?.

Nah, just Canadian. (Mostly hang out here & OSG.)

The Count to Five rules, has been on my board since 2015. Does pretty stuff & dumb noise equally well. Have a couple of other Montreal Assembly pedals (the long-forgotten ...

Set this up last night, plugged it in, immediately knocked it over and my power supply, which was mounted underneath, caught fire. Neat! Everything still works (except the power supply).

Also have a small bass board with a tuner, a Diamond bass comp, a Dr ...

Nabbed a coupla things thanks to PRF recs:

- FM Nate Dort posted some time ago about the Ampeg SVT-212AV. Found one used for ~40% of current retail (cabs & speakers are super expensive now apparently?). Aside from some tolex sloughing (also bought a $70 cover from Reverb for protection), an ...

Most other overdrives (and I've been through dozens) - once they pass the point of clean/cleanish boost - have felt, at least with my rig & my playing, like they're adding a layer on top of my guitar sound rather ...
