Well I've been thinking about what equipment I would like to buy and in what order I'd like to try to get it. This is a list of that.
First, I wanna get my Mesa 4x12 Oversized cab. This will be about $940. I'm in dire need of a decent cab and I figured, why settle for something shitty when I'm going to want to upgrade to this in the future anyways?
Second, I wanna get a bit of rack gear. I obviously need to buy a rack first, which will probably be a 4 or 6 space one, unless I get one that is made into a road case for a head, which I might do, I'm just not sure yet, because you have to order road cases based on the dimensions of the head or whatever is in them, and I'm not sure which head I want to get later on. But anyways, I want to get a rack tuner, Korg preferably, but I will probably get a Behringer one or something. If I don't get a rack tuner, I might just get another one of the Boss pedal tuners.
Third, I want to get a BBE Sonic Maximizer to put into my rack, just because they make your setup sound really good.
Fourth, I would need to get a power conditioner for the rack, which would be some Furman model I'm sure.
Fifth, and probably way after I get everything else before this, will be a new head. I'm looking at Mesa Dual Rectifiers or a Bogner Uberschall. Either one is going to be pressing towards $2000, which is why this is coming way after I get the rest of the stuff I listed, plus my head isn't really bad at all, and works for most of what I need it to do.
Sixth, I wanna get a Mesa 2x12 cab to go along with my 4x12, or maybe even a second 4x12 one?
Seventh, I wanna get an Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci model. These things are the nicest guitars I have EVER played in my life and I would die to have one of my own. I played one in Guitar Center last Monday and it blew me away how amazingly it played. Too bad even the standard ones are like 2 grand...
Anyways, that's my blog about gear. Lemme know if you have any thoughts on it, or something else I should get instead?

Pushing your spirit away,
Seeking the weakness of dislike,
Whispered from the heart.
To be, we're all in the mourning,
To despair."

everyone that gets a korg tuner hates them. and behringer is doo doo.
Sonic maximizer and a tube screamer cleans up your tone like no other though.
look into B-52 ST 412 cab. They are the exact same thing as a mesa but half the price....because they are not mesa...
and a used 5150 is just as good as a mesa in my opinion and would only be like 700 bucks.
That is the eventual setup i think i'm going to get. to each their own though....
