If I can keep my effects spending under 2k I may actually not be a starving musician this year.

I'm looking into getting a few pedals this year. I'm thinking some form of fuzz/OD/distortion. Then probably a wah. Then an EQ or compressor. I haven't done a lot of testing or looking into videos yet. I did like the Crying Bass video, but I haven't tried one yet.
I'd REALLY like to replace my M5 with Earthquaker Devices' Grand Orbiter and Dispatch Master.
I've already popped for what otherwise would be on the list, a Brimstone Audio XD-1 and a PT Mini to put it on. These are for my 5 watt Epi rig's board which is fast becoming my main recording go-to, and I felt it needed a little love.
And most likely a Lava solderless kit so I can replace the oddball collection of patch cables I'm now using, just 'cause.

I might be going for: IE SubT, IE Xerograph Deluxe, Darkglass Microtubes Vintage, Darkglass Duality Fuzz and a Bass with or another DI around the same price...!!!
I'm tempted to write "Nothing" because I wish that were true, but knowing me I realize that the chances of that happening are slim to none. 
As of now I'm actually not GASsing for anything particular. More Source Audio pedals is a possibility though, and I reserve the right to be tempted by any other new products.

In 2015, I would like to be happy with the things that I already have but like FretNoMore I also realize that the chances of that happening are slim to none.
Especially since I am on the FEA-list for a DB-CL (my first compressor!) and I hope it will materialize in 2015.
And since I find more and more use of my Foxrox Octron2 Ocativer in the band, an sfx microthumpinator to put behind the Octron2 would not be a bad idea.
And, like somebody mentioned before, if an FEA Growler pops up in the classifieds, it will be nearly impossible to resist it (unless it goes for crazy money).
But other than that I don't "need" anything.
We will talk again at the end of 2015.

Whoa, really nice! Didn't know Digitech offered such pedals.well, this now
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
maybe as soon as next week...maybe!
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...
My PAS (Pedal Acquisition Syndrome) is an Aguilar Octamizer - maybe have it in the following weeks!
As I spent almost $10000 on effects and pedalboards this year 
, I'd really like to say "nothing", but I know I will succumb to GAS. I've tried to avoid looking at GAS-inducing items for a while now, but I expect that by the end of 2015 I will probably have at least two new envelope filters, one or two synths, some signal splitters/parallel mixers and definitely Korg Miku.

Whatever thing that I wrotte here it will be susceptible to change in a future. Though by the way my gas list is:
- Some reverb for my fretless: My bet is getting the Hall of Fame, but probably it was easier to find used some of EBS or EXH Holy Grail.
- I keep the Octamizer in my mind, but really is more a own caprice that a musical needing ´cause still I have my older OC-2-
- VT Bass Character, I tried and really it fits well to my precision.
- A chorus with wet/dry feature like the Bass Bost Chorus for instance.
- A Power Plant with isolated outputs, ´cause now I´m using an spot with a "Z" wire and sometimes I have some noises. Surely this is was my first purchase.

I'm intrigued by the Akai Deep Impact re-issue, as well as the Mu-Fx Octave Divider reissue. Want to hear some samples of both though. Other than that, that's it for 2015!

I've spent $3000 since September (I had no effects before this time). 2015 scares me.
A good dirty pre (maybe a Tonehanmer) and something super glitchy - a Hexe rEvolver maybe a KP mini 2.
Chase Bliss Wombtone
Spaceman Saturn V
Keeley 4-knob compressor
Analogman Chorus or maybe a Bass Boost chorus
That's more than enough GAS right there.

get a job, get my gear out of the pawnshop, and find a drummer.
then get: mxr bass chorus deluxe, rocktron mike orlando wah.
their are more pedals, but basically those two.

Particularly in the world of jazz, this first, essential step has led to many a recorded masterpiece. Good luck!
