Updates
Well, I guess it's time for a bit of an update.
My Engl e530 has some electrical issues. This is damned frustrating since I've owned the thing for 3 months, but I severely doubt that Engl is to blame for it, our practice space has been having some electrical inconsistencies for quite a while and I don't yet have a power conditioner (however that's my top priority right now). Engl doesn't seem to mention a damned thing about warranty, but lists some authorized service places, so I have no choice but to have the thing repaired.
I have two choices, there's one that's like 12 miles away from where we are, and I'm waiting back on word if they're able to service Engl products (I should probably shoot them another email, the first I sent Friday night). If not, I gotta take it to the authorized service center, and they're 25 miles away. Either way, I have to get the thing fixed before the 15th.
Oh yeah, the 15th. That'll be our first day in the studio. It'll be good to get something out, so we can start playing venues instead of just hyping that we're awesome. Either way, I'll go back to saving up for guitar gear after we're done dropping the tracks and what not.
I still need an ISP Decimator, probably the G-string pedal. I'll also need an EQ at some point, and I'm on the fence about a BBE Sonic Maximizer or an aural exciter. At some point I'll need some kind of effects station, but I'm not incredibly worried about it yet. I'll also have to have my guitar looked over by a luthier at some point, I'm getting some irritating things happening (strings buzzing while open, especially after changing strings, intonation a little bit, and my pickup switch going out on me).
Unrelated though, I've been looking for some albums to buy recently, and a lot of them have been difficult to locate. The ones that confused me the most was Kalmah's first 3 albums "Swampsong, They Will Return and Swamplord". Most of them are going for some pretty crazy prices on Amazon as they're apparently discontinued?!? What the hell?
