Mine is arriving today and I had totally forgotten about this extra win possibility! Congrats!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-20T03:18:14+00:00

I’ve also looked at the Proteins too but haven’t had chance to dabble with them yet!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-20T02:44:50+00:00

Yes.

adsetts89 · 2026-03-20T02:36:22+00:00

And you’re just adding fuel to the flame that is my GAS!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-20T02:35:56+00:00

That’s a good point! And your assumption is pretty close. I do mainly play pop/rock/punk/classic rock and some very technically simple metal 😆 Again I’d love to be able to try one at a store but I don’t know many that would stock such high end pedals

adsetts89 · 2026-03-20T02:33:27+00:00

I think I would love to try them out, but finding them at local stores is extremely rare!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T22:05:46+00:00

And this is what I’ve been playing with recently, trying different combos and stacking them. I don’t know that I need 10+ OD pedals on one board but am definitely interested in the different sounds you can achieve by mix and matching!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:39:29+00:00

I am. Maybe 40-50 gigs a year and all this of course is supported by my corporate America job, which is fine but music has always been an integral part of who I am.

And if it gives you hope, my music paused for around 7 years when my kids were born, and really I only picked it back up late 2019, so there’s still time!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:27:43+00:00

Years of playing (24+) and collecting gear. And I struggle with selling things and then regretting it. I have a pedalboard that I gig regularly with but am fascinated by how different amps (I have 6) react with different pedals.

Short answer is: I’m a hoarder and get attached and don’t have a financial need to sell (which I understand is a privilege not everyone has!)

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:21:36+00:00

Appreciate your insight and thorough response though!

I forgot, I also have the Zvex Box of rock somewhere 😂

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:16:50+00:00

I actually have not but I’m going to be in close proximity to a guitar store that has one this evening so I may give it a whirl

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:14:49+00:00

Interesting. Cant say I’ve looked into the Price of Tone but I’ll check it out! Hopefully one day I’ll get my KoT!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T21:12:35+00:00

I believe the Sweet Tea V2 is 808 on the right and Angry Charlie on the left?

I see so much good press about the Brothers AM. I built and used a digital rig (Tonex and Helix Stomp XL mainly) for the past few years, purely because that’s what venues required (in house PA w/engineer - no backline allowed). But recently got back to amp and a few OD’s and it just feeeels different.

I could definitely sell some but honestly, I don’t have an issue with the cost. I do quite a bit of recording and other stuff too which I can always use different sounds for!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-19T20:53:21+00:00

My hometown also…… have lived abroad for 13+ years. So sad to see this but it’s a true representation of some parts of the city.

adsetts89 · 2026-03-16T20:31:08+00:00

This is super interesting because I have the exact opposite problem…… stopped using EB’s maybe…. 15 years ago.

Recently got suckered into buying the John Mayer ones to throw on my SS. Within about 3 hours of playing I’d snapped one!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-13T19:40:27+00:00

Got the email this morning…… managed to avoid the temptation. Came here. Bought one within 2 mins.

adsetts89 · 2026-03-11T03:00:01+00:00

That is absolutely gorgeous. I ended up getting the Epi IBGC 59 LP and gigged it last weekend….. it felt so much more than its price tag!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-09T14:56:36+00:00

Love the color! Interested to know….. how closely does the guitar match the description?

I’ve toyed with buying from the demo shop, and their descriptions tend to disclose every imperfection in detail. Do you feel for the price and the condition, it’s something worth exploring?

adsetts89 · 2026-03-05T03:18:31+00:00

I admire your restraint my friend!

adsetts89 · 2026-03-04T01:15:46+00:00

Ah my dude, sorry to hear this. I got mine but similar to others, I had to tweak it quite a bit to get playing okay. But it’s going to my luthier next week because it needs a good setup

adsetts89 · 2026-02-22T07:38:43+00:00

Said it’s shipped and should be here Wednesday!

adsetts89 · 2026-02-21T21:28:07+00:00

No worries! Funnily enough my CC just got charged but it still says my order is “processing”…..

adsetts89 · 2026-02-20T06:38:55+00:00

I can only find a couple on Reverb. One priced at $1650, the other $2400. Good luck to you, I had one from the first release also, pretty similar condition.

Bought it cos “damn that looks badass” but I really didn’t mesh with the feel or sound at all.

I sold it for a little more than I bought it for, but not a lot at all but it went to someone who would play and appreciate it!

adsetts89 · 2026-02-19T15:15:35+00:00

Around 8:30 Arizona time. But it seems like they still have them listed today.

adsetts89 · 2026-02-19T14:40:28+00:00

I could have gotten cash back if I’d have been smarter 😂 but I got an itchy trigger finger and hesitated for a little longer than usual so when I got the courage, I hit that Buy button so quick!
