In the immediate future: a guitar I shouldn't buy, with a bunch of parts I also shouldn't buy

In the further future if we make it there, three leaps of faith: Gamechanger, Evil Pumpkin, and Monk Echo (promo video -

MPC Sample. Basically what I've been wanting Akai to make for me for a long time.
I have a 1010Music Blackbox sampler that I adore and have used a ton since I got it in 2020 and will continue to, but I don't love sequencing rhythmic stuff with it.

Have only gotten a chance to play it at home and man, what a great, great amp for guitars. I've owned a V4-B, VT-22, and Ampeg Jupiter (B25 with a trem and reverb), and this is the best sounding Ampeg guitar amp I've tried out. Like volume at noon and the sensitivity switch at 0db, it's got the crunch of my Marshalls but the clarity/clearness of my Bassman. Kinda the best of both worlds to my ears!

Will try it with the 4x12 at full volume at practice next week!

A top mount VT40 is high up in the long list of gear I wish I’d kept.
