Okay, first off, for any non-effects using Effects Forum interlopers, let me respectfully point out...

"This thread is not for you. Please do not post 'Nothing!' as it does not add to the discussion. You're free to do your music your way, no one is saying otherwise, but please don't clutter this thread. Thanks for understanding. Also, if you miss this warning, I will quote it as I mock your post."

I have a few things on my Christmas list which may or may not happen. But my 2015 effects GAS is simple---it's two items that aren't even out yet.

(1) Panda Audio Future Impact
Semi-announced but still vaporware at this point.

(2) Source Audio Reflex
Coming in spring 2015(?)


I will probably need a Hub (I might get that with some Christmas money, TBD) and a few other smaller, cheap auxiliary controller pedals at some point. But really, my major GAS boils down to those two pedals.
 
Let's see....most of my 2015 May or may not even exist yet.
Any pedal by Darkglass, 3 Leaf audio, or Strymon
Origin Effects Compressor, EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master.
Other than that, hopefully a Nord Keyboard for my Lady and waiting for a Lakland P bass to get finished.

And if I may add, in all due respect:

 
Back to OP

.... errrrr... well, let's see now.... I usually start the year by saying "I've got all I need, so no change", then hook up with a new band and then go "this or that pedal would fit in great" and I usually end up overhauling half the board.

But not this year. No sireeee.
As my homie eveilleu, I'm heading for less but better stuff (for my budget).

So the only change I'm foreseeing at this point is adding a filter. Or a synth. Or a phaser... yeah, I'd like to get a block 90 back on, if only for the orange color. Then a wah, but a small one. And a microthumpinator, of course, should I find one at a good price. With the current band, a delay pedal would be great to cover KOL Sex on fire. Lately, been drooling for a portable Ampeg amp....

See ? No changes at all....

:confused:

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Roland V-Bass or VB-99 (and the necessary GK-3B instrument add on). Mainly because it would, *IN THEORY*, give me a perfect 62 or 75 Precision, or a 72 Jazz, or a Musicman, or a Thunderbird, or a... you get the idea.

Feel free to tell me why this is a bad idea. In fact, PLEASE tell me this is a bad idea, because it's expensive. Also, given Roland seems to no longer make the synth modules, maybe they are throwing me a big hint.

This warning won't work after page 1 ;)
 
My biggest GAS so far other than the purchase of my GK MB800 Fusion.

Paid in full, just gotta wait for the next batch of yellow to leave Dingwall.

plus a 2nd phaser of some kind (already have a modded phase 90) for 2nd board that's being put together for 3rd band.
plus...maybe... a 6th fuzz and... a 3rd and a half octave and...
