oops I actually forgot I ordered more than one thing from USA, just received some straps I bought from USA, arrived in 7 working days, I bought a tuner from someone from Hamilton and it took 7 working days to arrive as wellcodedog wrote:Kemper Stage too?Conway wrote:Oooohhh, what is it?KNNZ wrote:

Never mind... the important question: is it blue?

The ME-5 board arrived, pretty cool. Some horrid patches in it i.e way over the top and just plain nasty, but some lovely clean ones, and from a quick fiddle even the overdrives aren't bad when I adjusted to my taste. Wasn't much of a fan of the distortion, but admittedly adjusting the eq was a pain in the noodle with the unit on the floor, I might have another crack at it up high. Editing patches was easy without a manual though.chur wrote:An old Boss ME-5 effects board is now on route. Just for shits n giggles as I have fond memories of them from about 20 years ago, and one came up at the right price and time.
Was trying to sell some gear as I was chasing something on Reverb.

Sat in the hotel playing the Strat I took along as possible trade-in today. Its faultless. I can't understand what I was thinking. I suspect we get something into our heads; some GAS-induced blindness, and can't see the value in the stuff we already have.Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:Was trying to sell some gear as I was chasing something on Reverb.

Yeah I think that sums it up well. I was fully prepared to sell both of my main pedals, my LP and even my AC30 just to essentially trade it for one guitar that likely wouldn't have been any better than the Tokai LP I have now. Maybe I need to allow myself more time to bond with what I have, maybe that's why I never contemplated selling the Laney as I feel as if I'm somehow more connected to it. Both the AC30 and the Tokai are ridiculously good, but right now they're more just innate pieces of gear rather than something I own, love and value. Could well be just a time thing; I can foresee that if I played the Tokai every day for a year I could possibly struggle to sell itMolly wrote:I can't understand what I was thinking.

It's bad enough knowing you're going to get told to spread 'em, but the goddam waiting... just get it over and done with already!Conway wrote:Now the wait for Customs to ask me to touch my toes (TM Kiwiaxe).
You really do buy the weirdest shitel byrdo wrote:An RCA ecc82 for the VOX a straight 6 (it stopped working and I suspect the tube..) could be a good tone upgrade too. I'm planning on using the vox for my high gain lead sound.
Also this speaker! cheap alnico goodness

depending on the ohms it will either be paired with the Celestion gold of Goodmans audiom 50
Also scored like 8 speaker cables... including two 6m jack to speakon which is what I need
