Gear Fasting (addendum)

by Rhoy Pamparo on Feb.13, 2010, under Personal Thoughts

Roughly 2 months ago, I blogged about the 1-year gear-fasting that I had endured. Well, a lot of things have changed since. The funny thing is, I didn’t get any of the gears that I mentioned. But let me say that I am in serious GAS mode recently and it has been doing more harm to my wallet than I have expected

So these are the things I have bought, one of which I have already blogged about (EP-Booster) …

Waiting for the delivery of my new Strymon Brigadier

I am most excited about the new Strymon Brigadier since I was really intending to get a second delay to work with my Diamond Memory Lane. I wanted something that has tap-tempo, has dotted 8ths & triplets option and a killer sound … looks like this one will deliver. Only downside may be the 200mA current draw that it needs to run.

From initial reviews it looks like it may even bump the ML out of the board, but we will see what happens after I put some mileage on it. And of course, I will post new pics of the board and maybe some audio clips, too!

But I am hoping (and I’m sure so is my wife) that my GAS’ing will stop now and hopefully will last for another year! … hopefully

@Larry – i am not much of a demo guy because of my lack of chops. but i do like to create short melodies to highlight some of the strengths of the gear. with everything else that are coming in, it might take some time … but definitely, i’ll share whatever inspiration i get from these
