Your favorite 2012 Gear Purchase

[stratotone]

The '72 is a 50wt I take it? Nice Marshall stack.

Thanks! Nope, '74 is 50, '72 and '70 are 100w.

 

[Juggernaut]

This!!!

 

[billboogie]

I got two.
New frets on my 79 LPC
Orange TH30 head purchased today. Thanks Brad!!

 

[rocker]

Dan Gower's Killer Kali and Wizard MC100ll.

 

[ConcreteVampire]

Obviously going to be a tie!

Thanks Jerry!![/quote]

Sexiest amp ever![/quote]


Thanks man! so Sexy in fact, When we move the new wife's going to let it live in the living room with my Paul... so I can jam any time!

 

[Shark Diver]

Remember me in your will...


Mine would be the Two-Notes LIVE. It has kept my analog rigs analog while allowing me the best tone in the digital world as well.

(close second would be the Himmelstrutz Over/Under boost. Amazing)

 

[DrugDM]

Suhr Riot, Koko Boost, and TC electronic flashback.

 

[Bloodrock]

Chupacabra 50. Best $900 I've ever spent on any piece of gear. If they were made by a big name manufacturer, they would be flying off the shelf for twice the price easily!

You win!

VH4

It would have to be a tie between my 20th Shiva and my new small pedalboard custom made by forum member Casey Hanson (http://www.fallout-labs.com

Honourable mention goes to the Matchless Independence head I picked up from Brad (http://www.kingguitar.com) as well. It definitely has its own thing going on, which is quite different from the majority of the other amps in my stable.

That Strat is awesome. One of the Wildwest White Lightening relics?

 

[Onzabar]

Thanks Steve. The Strat was built by John Cruz as part of a limited run from the 2010 NAMM show.

 

[Red_Label]

Bought a bit of stuff during 2012 (and dug most of it)...

But my favorites would be my Lickliter Rage and Straub "Hurdy Gurdy" heads. Both are one-of-a-kind handbuilts and I prefer them to the Bogner, VHT, Engl, and other great amps I've owned.

Crappy cell phone pic...

 

[scruffydoo]

PT100 and Diezel Hagen, both fabulous

 

[Laura]

Duh.... I forgot. The Lickliter 6505+ trumps my stock Recto that I just got. Thanks again Mike.

 

[Rash]

used Frantone Tremolo (out of production)

new Castledine Vibe

Rodenberg 728 NG (kills in front of Marshalls and Recording Gear), less nasal, more open than a normal TS, nevertheless clearly related (has that added mid-range going on), very cool boost (class a sounding) which I actually prefer to the also very cool Koko Boost (which is more neutral)

appropriate/optimized neck single coil build by my local guitar builder for my strat

 

[MARK1970]

It was a slow year. For me it was the TC Flashback. 2013 will be my year for gear.

To purchase for 2013
Suhr Koko boost
Suhr Modern or standard
Lynchbacks
Vibe pedal ( recommendations)
Fender Princeton

Possibly
Friedman BE100
Friedman SS
Friedman Pink Taco
