2015 - New Year purchases anyone?

Hmmm...let's see...embarrasment: Last year I thought I was done, but in the course of 2014 bought like 7–10 pedals (some of them replaced others...some of them got sold again or returned quickly), but atm I'm really not gassing for anything...let's see how long that lasts.

I also just updated my H9 to an H9Max via this Eventide Upgrade-thing (buy algorithms until you've bought ten and you'll get all 45). So there's still a lot to explore.

I'm on vacation. Sitting in a hammock on a beach in Ecuador right now. :cool:

I have a few purchases that ought to kick off 2015 quite nicely. And they should all be there by the time I get back home :)

Mountainking Behemoth II
Infanem Compact Faye Sing
Lastgasp Art Laboratries Misty Cave

I'm thinking about Various MIDI foot controller/looper set ups but it makes my brain hurt.

Ah, dang it. Missed it. I liked my thread title better, though. :)

Here is what I posted there:

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.
http://www.talkbass.com/threads/deep-impact-reissue-interested.1115025/

(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.


Adamixoye nailed the rest of my GAS list right there!

The Really Want List:
-Volt Thrower

And I gotta brag, I scored one of these, and it's amazing. It is a forever pedal for me. A thunderous Rat. Good from OD to Fuzz. Half of what I love on it is the Baxandall EQ. I'd never had experience with this sort of EQ before. I will probably always have one on my board from now on, in some form or another. It makes dialing in the tone so easy and so versatile. I run other pedals into it and the synergy is so good. I've taken to using it as either a dirt or as an EQ for things in front of it. Love it! Get one if you can!
 
Sooo I started off with no gas and now want many, many things

Strymon Timeline and Bigsky (yes I sold my Timeline...I know)
H9 number two
Lastgasp Sandstorm
Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl and Wombtone (yes I sold my Warped Vinyl...)
Lastgasp Cyber Psychic
TWA Great Divide
Red Panda (new delay that's coming out)
Dwarfcraft ARF and Gears

So many others...
 
Parts for my next project. Using a Firebird body paired with a SS neck to make a TBird. Have some of it already, and getting the list for the rest in order.
Plan on using analine dyes instead of nitro for the finish. Never used them before so it should be a learning experience.
And finish the projects already started.
 
I won't get all of this, most likely--but stuff I'm looking at & considering (As seen in other threads):
Microphone(s)-for guitar, bass-maybe drums?
Mic cables & stands
Pedalboard
Keyboard
Strymon Favorite pedals to use with my Strymon Brigadier
Probably strings, probably picks.
Possibly some pedals (Reverb, harmonizer/octave)
If I get real ambitious or come into extra cash-small tube guitar amp, small tube bass amp (So I can go into two small amps with guitar or bass with different sounds)
 
Ugh, 2015 will probably be pretty damn spendy. As of right now, I'm looking at a Mountainking Behemoth II to compliment my Maximum Overdrive, a Bearfoot Blueberry, a different Rat clone, and some variety of a Green Russian. Basically, I'm looking to swap out my XD-2 for some different flavors (+ more Mountainking). I'm also probably going to try to scoop up a MAS115 depending on the price and probably one of the new Hathor 1533's. Luckily, I've got a pretty decent supply of pedals to flip for funding.
