GAS attack

I've decided to really give my pedalboard an upgrade. Thanks to visiting the gear page a ton lately, it makes me think that I need all sorts of fun toys and whatnot. I got a paid back a decent amount of money recently and decided it was time to splurge!

My purchases:

Pedaltrain Pro board
Pedal Power 2+
Zvex Fuzz Factory
Boss Dm-2
Tim (Got on the waiting list, 4 months and counting...)

I'm super stoked to have all these goodies arriving! I figured I had been using the same crappy pedalboard for a couple years and after struggling to find room and dealing with the carpet peeling off I decided it was time to go big or go home. The Pedaltrain will offer me a ton of flexibility and plenty of real estate for inevitable future GAS purchases.

I got the Fuzz Factory from a local guy on craigslist and couldn't believe when he only wanted $150 for the handpainted version (cheaper than a Vexter version). I just won the Dm-2 not 10 minutes ago and couldn't believe it went for such a low price ($165 shipped) and it's cosmetically in pretty decent shape. As far as the Tim is concerned, I blame the gear page 100% for that :)...everyone rants and raves about it so I figured I may as well get on the list for it; at least I have plenty to keep me busy for the next 4 months!

I know what I'll be doing all weekend :D

    it's a preamp dual pedal (boost/overdrive) built by Nashville amp genius Paul Cochrane. He also makes a smaller one called the Timmy.

    I believe he's also associated with Heritage Amplifiers. http://www.heritageamplifiers.com/

    It's still better than paying twice as much for it on the second-hand market. And it's not nearly as bad as the year long waiting list for the Analogman KoT.
