yesterday and today I spent a while trying to figure out if I would get more enjoyment/less frustration out of guitar playing if I bought another cheap practice amp and concluded that I would not
unfortunately I then discovered that I have an opportunity to get a certain notable discontinued budget amp used, one which has several particularly desirable features, and now I have spent far too long listening to recordings of amp tones and have guitar tone semantic satiation
we have not obtained a pathfinder 15r; I showed restraint in a bidding war for once and didn't want to pay $220+ for it. character development, be proud of me etc
I might still get a pathfinder 10 though because having an analog preamp that sounds nice in a cute enclosure with a speaker as a bonus would actually be useful I think
in the course of doing far too much research about the vox pathfinder 15r we found out that you can actually just buy spring reverb tanks, they're an interchangeable standardised part. they're also fairly cheap. i kinda want to build my own spring reverb pedal now
future hikari_no_yume guitar setup probably looks like
sd-1 → ds-1 (→ big muff?) → pathfinder 10
recording with usb mic or headphone out into ms-80ir+ with a suitable ir loaded
and there's the mu1000 if we want to gaze it up with ｓｔｅｒｅｏ ｍｕｌｔｉ−ｅｆｆｅｃｔｓ
the nice thing about this setup is that all the gain stages and the most important controls stay in the analogue realm, and uh… well, we could've done that already with the boss mg-10, but it's just not a very inspiring amp it must be said. i have higher hopes for the pathfinder
we will be getting a pathfinder 10 sometime next week and I am honestly quite excited, I just have a feeling it's going to be a more fun than what we've been using up to this point
