dude im probably gonna die in like 2 years anyway what the fuck is the point of me being miserable and unable to do the one thing i was put on fucking earth to do

i bought myself a vintage mesa boogie transatlantic 2x12 combo, an mxr 10 band eq (vintage mesa boogies have super distinct crunch but the eq control is basically nonexistent), a basic boss cs-3 compressor and just found a good deal on a like-new line 6 DL4 delay modeler (those things are so fucking cool and ive wanted one forever); im adding all this to my pedalboard w/ waza blues driver, MIJ boss chorus pedal, wammy pitch shifter and behringer digital delay pedal (i make grunge/shoegaze music); would love to post a pic of my setup when its all done

im still playing drums on a sound percussion (starter drum kit) with like one upgraded cymbal lol, so literally the whole kit sounds like shit, but the one cymbal sounds amazing, now i basically have to upgrade the kit

found a guy selling a drum mic kit for $300 that comes with x3 sm57s and a shure b57 or whatever (dynamic kick mic) and i already have two overheads for the stereo cymbal sound i'm hoping to get

yeah i wont be able to go to the hospital for a while but who fucking cares dude im not gonna live forever. this shit makes me so happy. i want to start a nonprofit record label one day and all of this shit is an investment

follow your dreams

sorry for rambling like a lunatic lol

    I started on a wild pedal board build over covid. Never played a gig in my life but for some reason I needed build a new board on a Vertex Travel plus, Boss ES-5 Switcher, Strymon Mobius, Volante and Big Sky, a Stereo line mixer for those three, a Two Notes Tube Preamp and IR Loader and a bunch of overdrives. The crown jewel on the board is the Ibanez TS-10 that I grabbed for $160 CAD on Craigslist from someone who didn't know the current value on they had (PSA: No tubescreamer is worth more than this).

    It's currently torn apart while I procrastinate on soldering a bunch of cables to connect everything, and mostly play through an HX Stomp.
