Hi. I was invited to a concert by my niece, with a locally famous (Norway) rock band called Oslo Ess.

It was a great gig, and full on sing along from the audience on most songs.

Before that it was Alestorm (pirate rock kinda thing, with 5 other bands in the same kind of style), invited by one of my nephews. Also one of the best concerts I’ve…Read More

I’ll start off with a boring one.
I don’t have a wishlist this year. I got a TONEX pedal and Total Studio Max 5 (on sale) earlier this year, plus upgraded to Soundtoys 5 from the Effect Rack (also on sale) so that was my money spent for the rest of the year.

I don’t feel like I’m missing anything either.

All the best.

I’m in the same boat as you.
But the TONEX collections does not interest me (as I capture my favorite presets from Amplitube and other amp sims into TONEX, then my TONEX pedal), so what would I then get instead?

Any suggestions anyone?
All the best.

My go-to’s are Softube Saturation Knob, Spicerack by Process Audio, Soundtoys Decapitator and IK Saturation-X.
I have lots of others that I use on a less than regular basis.
All the best.

Thanks!

I’ve got an Ibanez 7 string myself, and I’m very pleased with it. It only the Gio version, which is the cheapest series, but I got it at a bargain 2nd hand a couple of years ago. It plays very well, even though it only has 22 frets 😉
