2015 Effects GAS...post now, be embarrassed later

My list
3 digitech jamman solo xt, the future impact, vt bass di, sansamp para driver di
Three jammans? Why not One Looper with several Loops like the Boomerang?

Here is my list. Some of the stuff is already ordered but will not arrive before 2015:
Mantic Density Hulk
sfx Loop Logic
Cioks DC-10
Loopmaster 5-Strip w/ Master By-pass
Pedaltrain PT-3
Planet Waves Cable Kits
Subdecay NoiseBox or a Compressor (not sure)

Goals:
Flexibility & Control
Sound Maintenance & Reduction of Noise

Embarrassed but deeply contented!

Edit:
I forgot about the Mission Engineering Expression Pedals... :rolleyes:

Are we talking octave up or down?

For octave down there are several that work fine; whether you like the sound or not is a matter of taste, but they will at least be useful.

As to octave up, I don't think I've heard a single pedal yet that doesn't sound a bit weird with bass. You can mix in a little, but add too much and it will sound odd, often kind of metallic and a bit out of tune, and usually with quite a bit of latency too.

i am trying to sync with my guitarist and only the jamman allow me to do that in a more cost effective solution compared to two boomerang that are midi sync to a clock.

1 jamman - drum samples
1 jamman - for me/further drum/vox/noise samples
1 jamman - for my guitarist

its a side project i am trying to came out with a so called neon indian/chrves type of approach but with guitar and bass and loopers instead of synth

will be creating the samples of my native instruments maschine and than transporting the samples through the SD card for the jamman or thinking of hooking up auxiliary out of my laptop to the jamman aux in and play drum beats from there
 
Ah, if they're not all for you, that's a very good answer...not that you need my approval.
 
I haven't been gasing for any effects really except the Acid Splash Designs Aonys fuzz (WHAT's that???????????? :) ).

Sorry had to give myself a little plug. I really am gasing for my own pedal though. hahahaha.

The other thing I've been wanting is another bass. I've been wanting a Dingwall again. Wonder if they will be at NAMM. hmmmm


Is your fuzz ready yet??? take my money already....

Only thing on my Christmas list that I didn't get (and didn't expect to) was the custom downsized Beat Buddy footswitch. So I'll probably be ordering that. After that...still the Future Impact and Source Audio Reflex.
 
Well, my effects buying frenzy was slowed way way down by the holiday season, but there's still some hope left for 2015 to finish most of my board. Id love to have:

Abominable Hail Satan
TC Alter Ego
EHX Pitch Fork
MXR stereo chorus
TC mini HOF
A real power supply
About a million ebs flat cables
EQD Arrows
Something RAT related
Dunlop 105
Polytune Mini

I will probably end up with 2 or 3 things from this list in 2015 but it's enough to keep me going!
