Need help filling up Sweetwater shopping cart

[culturejam]

Okay, so I'm going to be getting a Jamman Xpress looper from Sweetwater. But I figured I should get a couple more things and do the 3-payment plan and make it worth it. 

But I can't figure out anything I can remotely justify as a "need" or even a strong want. There's got to be something cool I'm missing out on, so I want to enlist your help in giving me suggestions. I'm looking for useful, handy, utilitarian, etc., in the $100 - $200 range.

To help kick things off, here are useful things I already have:

• Clip on tuner (two actually) and a pedal tuner
• eBow
• Audio interface
• Capo (several)
• Acoustic guitar hydration system
• Strings (just bought some sets recently)
• Guitar and fretboard polish / oil
• Guitar stands
• Guitar straps
• Microphones (SM57 and Sennheiser 609)
• Solid-state amp (Roland Cube 40xl)
• Cajon drum
• Cheap guitar (Agile, etc)
• Guitar / mic cables
• Music stand / Mic stand

I'm set for just about every kind of pedal, with the exception of maybe a Micro POG. But I can't justify full price on those when used ones are about $160.

About the only thing I don't have is a dedicated headphone/practice type Pod thingie. But I could easily use my iPhone for that, I suppose.

So what am I missing? Let's hear some suggestions, o' fellow brothers of the GAS order.

The Cruztools tool kit (either their standard or Fender set) is actually really handy to have around either at home or in the gig bag.  Think they're around $60.

Gorgomyte if they have it (GHS has branded it now I think) typically around $10.

Ernie Ball Power tuner - most gimicky thing I own, but use it far more than I ever thought I would.  $22

The new Daddario capo with the slot for the PW tuner $20

Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails Delay - ridiculously good analog delay, $160.


Err, this self imposed gear buying moratorium is going to kill me....

Fender Output Jack...only $6.49!

Do they have any decent piezo pickups for electric? I've been wanting to add one of my guitars for a while. I like the sound of an unplugged electric layered in with the amped sound.

I'll give that some thought. Thanks!

Hmmmm, interesting. I want it, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. I pretty much do all my scratch recording with an audio interface, or if it's really off the cuff, with my iPhone. But I'll give it some thought.

I've got a Takamine acoustic/electric already. :/

Those new Fishman pickups made from circuit boards.

Does not fit the $100 - $200 price restriction.

But yeah, I need one of those for sure.

personally, I've been tormenting myself over getting a volume pedal, just for those cool volume swells ... it would be easy to say, get an EB, but I also like the Mission Pedals

[culturejam]

^^ nice suggestion. I don't have a volume pedal.

I just remembered that one of the things I really want is one of various TC Helicon voice effect pedals. I love to sing, but my voice is not exactly award-winning. I need a little help...a lot of help sometimes.

The Voicetone Harmony GXT looks about right. Pitch correction, harmony, reverb/delay...hmmm.

[icecycle66]

Yeah, get one of those voice pedals and demo to t n guitar.

[pickdropper]

Actually, a volume pedal would be really useful.

Do they carry Vertex?

[jimilee]

I really dig my volume pedal, and those cool swells are kick ass if you play a slide and use delay.

Ukulele  seem to be popular these days. If you are looking at the TC helicon stuff, i've got a harmony singer that is great, as long as you play the right chords and sing in tune, that is

My son has one of the Yamaha Guitalele things. Its build quality is a bit suspect as is its intonation, but it is fun and I find myself grabbing it to just fiddle with all the time.

I'd love to get a cheap but good mandolin. There are plenty of them out there in the $100-$200 range, but I have no idea if any of them are even useful as an instrument.
