Thought I had already contributed to this thread but turns out that was last year. The past 12 months has been a blur- had to go away for a while, get myself right again. When you’re married and the father of 5 trust me, it’s not easy to just drop everything and go away but, I’m good now. The only gear I purchased in 2022 was the op-1 field and the hologram microcosm. Both hits for me. I purchased the microcosm way after all the hype had died down and kept pretty quiet about it. It does exactly what I want it to do (very subtle stuff placed on a send or crazy stuff during a live improvised jam on my pedalboard). As a longtime op-1 user, the field just made sense (I wanted to keep the OG-1 but…bills). No misses this year simply because I wasn’t spending like crazy. Oh yeah, one more thing I almost forgot: I did buy a JHS Smiley fuzz pedal. Put a volume pedal in front and a delay behind and I have a ton of different fuzz sounds to work with. So yeah, all hits. And like a few people here, I’ve been getting back into using the laptop with Ableton Live (it is called Live y’all, Ableton is the company that makes it) and it does sometimes make me think I could do without any of this hardware. Happy New Year everyone.
