I got my small black Friday splurge today and it's actually been easy to set up and really useful so far.
What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

Whatever you need to do to pay off that gear, we won't judge

whatever you do, don't drive 88mph if you have a flux capacitor in your car. Not unless you're 100% prepared.I am in a parking lot. It is dark.

Apparently the TC SCF Gold reissue has gone down in price. Thinking about either grabbing one or an Ibanez/Maxon chorus after the next paycheck.

^I've been thinking about that one for awhile too, have to take another look if it's lower in price.

Yeah it was like $199 at release. Now it's $159 @ Sweetwater.
But I also have a huge bias towards the Ibanez/Maxon CS-9 that I may just get it or one of it's variants.
I have a CS-5, but I'd like a steroe chorus.

Nevermind, ended up being a Gibson 500T.
Still thinking about the SCF Gold or Ibanez/Maxon CS-9

Tried out one of the baritone Classic Vibe series last night, it wasn't bad but it didn't compel me to walk out of the store with it; might try and find a Cabronita and see how those fair, but maybe a baritone isn't what I've been after this whole time?
Regardless I'm still looking for something to drop down to B standard, and at minimum I'd want 25.5" scale but that's why I initially went right to 27"

I would say a perfect boomer amp for small spaces. The amp is super compact (13.5 kg) and ideal for the Japanese market. The sound is sparkly clear. The standard version like mine does not have a lot of gain but the sound is better than the clean channels on my Revv or Red Seven. The amp is very well built and easily survived shipping from Japan via EMS. I unpacked it and did a quick check to make sure there was no damage. Turned it on and I was playing.
The amp is well thought out. The power switching from 30W to 3W or 0.3 W really works. It's like a an old Fender or Vox amp with modern features like a master volume. I need to try it with a boost pedal because the examples I've seen on YT shows a nice crunch sound with a little boost.
I can certainly recommend this for someone looking for a clean amp that can crunch with a drive pedal.

Hopefully 920D didn't lie about what you're actually getting. They were exposed on TheGearPage for lying about the harnesses and parts they sell. For instance, the PIO caps are not PIO. I let my rep at Sweetwater know and he said he was kicking it up the chain to review it. What they've done is awful and if their business suffers for it or goes out of business, then serves them right.

I was at a shop with @StevenC this week and their focus was high-end stuff, a lot domestic. They had 2 Akima & Neos which seemed larger and nicer than others I've seen. And some Shinos stacks that seemed very stylish, and another premium looking one (500,000Y) with fancy grill cloth. Most of it was not for sale, but raised my impression of the brand just seeing the builds. Didn't hear any of them though. Maybe Steven remembers which shop that was.
