This kid's gear progression is hilarious

I remember he used to post on HC a lot, I don't know if his Dad owns the world, but he makes Ian look well adjusted.

Check out the ZVex pedal haul in the last shot:

That's a Fulltone TTE ($1000) and several Moogs on the top there. I shudder to think what that Vox cost.

Yeah I remember his name. His second rig destroys everything I've ever owned in terms of value (or at least, the gear page value).

I hate people saying "my amp tech" like they're fucking hendrix when all they mean is that there is a guy in the local guitar shop who is the 'go to' guy when they're stuff breaks. Even if I owned the whole set of dwarfcraft I wouldn't call aen "my pedal guy" without feeling like a cunt.

Yeah "my amp tech" is definitely a poseur move. Which exactly what he is. I imagine he had the best Pokemon collection evar before discovering thegearpage.net

When i get to the stage where i have shelves for my pedals (and each one is full) someone please start an intervention.

Why is the Vox on a cushion though? Is the ground not good enough for it?

"my amp tech" say's "your amp tech" sucks.

The fact he has the most expensive shit available to man but doesn't have a Â£20 mini mic stand for micing his cab amuses me more. That and the mic position, which is too far from the cloth, at least for my liking. That and the multiple wraps on the boom to keep in "neat" which leaves a dangling cable across his path to the Vox. Muppet.

I am also pretty amused by the Mexican wrestling mask draped over the mic stand. Maybe he affords all this by moonlighting as "EL AMP TECHO".

people like that piss me off.

it's obvious that he doesnt gig very often...his gear is far too clean for that. that means that he's just hoarding this shit. it also makes me mad cuz my parents dont buy me all this stuff...i actually have to work for it.

I like the wrestling mask.

if i had that kind of money to throw around on gear, i'd just have a big wall of jaguars.

If I had that much money to spend on gear, I'd pretty much have what he's got. I'd have a few more wrestling masks and maybe a bronco or two....

Markom - notorious on HCEFX a while back, and much mocked on Haunting Mids - his family must have more money than Croesus, but there is a HILARIOUS pedal demo that he recorded kicking around somewhere; he managed to make a Â£250 corksniffery pedal sound like a LA Metal, and his chops were ALMOST as bad as mine.

Bloody hell that's ridiculous!

what pisses me off is the only electrics you see are boring strats.

that and the wrestling mask.. when did that shit get cool? maybe he's watched nacho libre too much.

becuse he sure as hell doesnt seem like a los straitjackets fan.

and the cable wrap on the mic stand is HILARIOUS.

obviously the fucker has never worked in audio or live sound before.

damn i didn't even notice it.

i was getting that way for a while. i had 16 pedals, i had 5 amps, a few guitars. not cheap stuff, but not booteek. then i realized i wasn't using it in a band or recording music, so i sold damn near all of it to help pay other bills and such and tuition.

Yeah most of my stuff has now gone or has been loaned out to friends.

I've been drooling over those swart ASTs for a couple weeks; I'd never actually buy one though.

I like how he says "good tone doesn't have to be expensive" about 2 posts down from the picture of at least $40,000 worth of gear. I feel guilty if I spend more then $30 on a pedal.
