Underlined the shopping list. I'm also hoping for a another amp in the future, but I have no idea what I'm leaning toward yet. Any recommendations are appreciated. I want something that cleans up nice, since the Blackheart gets to get pretty crunchy and the Fender is really for studio-use only.

Custom Driftwood Telecaster:
So this is a real thing - if I ever get around to finishing it. I started building a guitar ages ago when I had access to a woodshop. I stopped when I realized I had no plan and no idea what I was doing. I don't have that access anymore, but I know pretty much exactly what I want to build. I have a lot of parts, a basic body, et cetera. I'm going to build a guitar that looks like a telecaster pulled out of a shipwreck. And hopefully it sounds cool. Haha... plus, I'm going to put a sick octopus tattoo on the back. Again, if I ever finish it.
TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay:
DigiTech Obscura Altered Delay:
These two pedals are supposed to show up in the mail before the week is out. I did a couple pedal swaps with strangers elsewhere in the states. I guess there's a chance I'm getting screwed (I sent back some nice pedals in return), but both of the guys I'm trading with have good reputations online, so hopefully this works out. I'm really stoked too. Both of these pedals are in my top ten fantasies, and I'll shut up now.
TC Electronic Flashback 2 Delay:
HardWire Supernatural Reverb:
I own both of these suckers, and they're genuinely incredible. Both are easily worth their price tags - especially comparing what else is on the market for their value. Even with two more delays coming in the mail (or four if you count the triple as three), I doubt I'll be moving my Flashback 2 out anytime soon. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Warped Vinyl vs. Shallow Water: I've been teetering between the two for a couple weeks now. At present, I'm favoring the Shallow Water.
Also, I didn't realize it when I last posted, but I needed the Bitquest. It'll be here later this week
Honestly, I might just throw in the Shallow Water AND the Warped Vinyl and take a break from buying/selling/trading for a bit. See where the chips fall or what have you. Then I'll probably run out and buy another five reverb/delays.
And an Infinite Jets. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

Have you ever played with a POG pedal? Stryman is the shit for ambient stuff too. They sound really cool. It's a double octave, and then makes sounds between distortion and organ.
Also, can't beat a AC30 for clean sound. I've also really liked playing with guitarists with an orange head. It has a beautiful clean sound, and an amazing crunch.
I guess while we are doing rig run downs:
1) Fender Precision Bass (Frankenstein parts... jazz neck and custom shop pickups on a squire body...)
2) Fender American Jazz Bass
3) MusicMan Stingray
4) Danelectro Longhorn
Mesa Boogie PowerHouse Head and 6x10
RAT distortion
MXR Blowtorch
Mesa pedal for scooping or boosting mids
other stuff I don't really use

I have tried the POG! Well, the POG2 anyway. I wanted to buy one for eons, but eventually, I realized that being the only guitarist in my band, I wouldn't use the thing much. If I was one out of 2-3 guitarists, I would totally have one of those though.

AC30s are great. I ended up with the amps I have because I found them heavily discounted, and at that point in time, I was a broke-ish college student. I was living on ramen and the like for a while after that purchase.

You're primarily a bass guy, eh? How's that Longhorn? Danelectros are beautiful to look at, but I've never played on one. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

AC30s are ridiculously expensive. And I really shouldn't have purchased my mesa boogie, but when I heard it, I basically melted. Got a store CC and paid it off in a year with no interest.
The longhorn I put some flat wounds on it, and by itself, it sounds absolutely amazing. You put it in a mix and it kind of disappears (probably cause of the type of music I was playing/other musicians I was playing with). Really the only reason to get one is they are cheap and have a unique sound with those lipstick pickups. If you can get a fender lipstick pickup, that'd probably be a better option. Danelectro has changed hands so often it's hard to know if you are buying decent or garbage.
And yes, bass is my game. I've noticed all the music I'm into has strong bass. IDK, I find it slightly more interesting than guitar. It's the perfect spot for me because I really like rhythm and I really like the presence of bass instead of the brightness of guitar.
I like this dude's demonstration of all the things the POG can do. The guitarist I played with turned it into a really powerful tool in our band. It's a pretty versatile pedal, imo.

Yeah... there are some things I can't justify spending money on at this point in time. If I ever find myself in the position where I'm mega rich or play music for a living, I guess I'd splurge, but paying off music gear over the course of a year? That's a bit much for me...

Ahhh - now that's the NanoPOG. I had a MicroPOG for years. I sold it just a month or so ago. The Micros/Nanos are much more simplified, so they're pretty easy to exploit. The full-sized POG is much more over-the-top, and it's great for ambient stuff, but like I said earlier, I can't see myself using it as frontman.

Stryman is great - esp. if you use the midi stuff. I'd love to throw a Mobius on my board someday.

I'm obsessed with glitch/delay. I like pedals that repeat themselves and do weird things. I like pedals repeat that do weird things. Weird I pedal likes that repeat. Do weird repeats.
My three favorite bands - obv, right? Thom Thom and the Radio Heads, The Cocteau Twins and U2. Find me better delayers, and I'll be in your debt. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
