NAD+ NGD+NPD+NCD= Divorce?

Post by Dark Helmet » Wed Jul 26, 2017 3:11 am

OK, not all today... but recent enough...

picked up a new pedal board and a smaller FS-1 replacement for my AD30, a BOSS DD5, and an MXR Analog Chorus... and now I have space for a Kongpressor and Bax/2-stroke.... and an HOF or similar...

Also snagged me a used OR15 on Sunday, with a used PPC112 should be here Thursday...

Aaaaaaaaand, the big ugly..... 2016 Gibson LP Standard. Burstbucker Pros, coil splits, phase change, Solo-boost.... heritage cherry burst... plays NICE.

Hey don't feel bad. In the last month or so I have picked up an AD200, 2 OBC115 cabs, an OBC210 and an OBC410. Plus an ESP B-1005MS 5 string.

My girlfriend usually doesn't notice new additions to the wall of sound in my back room but I think she has figured out that one wall is much more Orange now :mrgreen:

Cool!.....Gas certainly is strong at the minute, in the last 2 weeks I've bought 2nd hand

- a Gibson classic bridge pickup
- a Providence stampede OD
-a Boss Ge equaliser

And I'm looking at getting a new power supply.


No divorce here , I'm taking my wife out to a nice restaurant at the weekend.....it's a question of balance!

Awesome haul. Congrats!

I'm also married, and I only have one rule when buying guitar stuff: it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. :mrgreen:

As long as the bills are paid she is cool with whatever I buy. Couple good scores there for sure. Not sure how I feel about that bag though haha.

Some nice gear there!!!!

Dark helmet..... what will you be getting for the rest of the year? :lol: You forgot to spread them out!!!

Must be really nice to get all those at once - must feel like an adult Xmas!!!


My last few purchases have been a Gibson SG 70s Tribute with mini humbuckers, a nice leather strap to prevent its head dive..... and got converted to the comfort of the nice leather strap, so quickly bought one for my LP too..... (I'm a firm believer in each guitar having it's own strap. I only have 4 electrics, so that's easy to manage)


And bought a relatively inexpensive Digitech Hardwire CM-2 tube overdrive.... Great inexpensive little overdrive/tube screamer with flat EQ and individual bass and treble controls. Great addition to my board!

I got the Firebird in May (I think) and that really started it all. gave my old board to the boy to use with his bass gear, and then got a real power supply, the Chorus and DD5, etc...

I'm still shopping for an OR100 or AD50.... and then a nicely "relic-ed" ppc412 to go with it...

When she first showed me it online I thought "I'll get it and surprise her..." Then I checked out the price and said.... "no."

So it was a bit of a surprise when the box came in the mail. That bag and the J-100 cost the same.
