Jeezus..... I think my only purchases were:

Kemper Profiler Stage

71118711_10215562166475777_8832176657369399296_o.jpg


and I got the Reverend Gristlemaster... and then traded the Gristlemaster for a Charvel Pro Mod in satin pink.

Oh wait... I got the PRS SE hollowbody as well. I got it for $35o.

I got a Headrush Gigboard, a Phase 100, and an Epiphone 12 string. Nothing went out. I did manage to break my Bugera V5 though. Still need to get that fixed.
Stupid tubes and their stupid metal cage shit. Why can't they put them where you can get to them without breaking a tube off?
 
I guess I bought more than I thought :grin:

Coming in:
Only 1 guitar. The burst Warmoth.

And a Brent Hinds Tiny Terror.

Pedals: Far too many coming in to remember them all. But my end of the year board will be Tuner->EQD Grand Orbiter->Strymon Sunset->Strymon El Capistan->Big Ear Elle.

Going out:
Guitars none.
Amps: DV Mark Gen 15 (I forgot I even had that), EHX Mig and a Fender Bassbreaker.
Pedals: Far to many to remember.

The items in boldface I donated to the local school district parents group (a 501(c)(3) that either provide the instruments to schools, programs, and students or sell them and use the cash for the same).

I now FINALLY have enough room for two people in my music room!!! However, I will still have to get a PA or something similar to replace the loudbox (which was rather overkill for my current needs). I'm also considering getting one guitar amp for 'general' use - perhaps a head - but I'm in no hurry.

how do you like that headrush? I almost got that but ended up with the HX stomp instead.

I'm contemplating the possibility of getting something along those lines with a simple power amp to run through a 112 as opposed to an 'actual' guitar amp, so this interests me as well.

What led you to sell the orange amps?
 
Kind of a blur, as always.

I don’t think that I bought any guitars or amps.

I sold a TON of stuff.

1979 The Paul
Mzo.Effects Blue and Ohm pedals
Scumback, wharehouse and Celestion speakers
Small Stone phaser
Xotic Sp Compressor
Malekko Omicron chorus
MXR Phase 95
Emerson Paramount Overdrive
MXR m300 Reverb
Wampler Velvet Fuzz
Turbo Tuner
BG pure 90 pickups
Pedal train Nano
CIOKS Adam power supply
Some microphones
RYRA 808 overdrive
Boss Blues Driver

I think that’s it.

I bought some stuff though:

two Emerson Em Drives (one for each board).
The Paramount that I sold above
A second Sparkledrive MOD for my smaller board
Analog man Prince of Tone
Friedman Dirty Shirley
Mooer noise gate (specifically for the Dirty Shirley)
Eventide H9
Boss Blues Driver (sold above)
Suhr 1x12 extension cab.

I also had three guitars refretted, one amp gutted and rebuilt.
 
In: nothing

Out: Custom OM Acoustic

I think I have bought one music item in two years now. I'm contemplating a major change for 2020 (Sell my Vox amp and buy a Strymon Iridium) - but I need to make sure the current band will actually lead somewhere.
 
Hmm....

Imported

Exported
Nada...

Some stuff will exit in 2020.
