FIRE SALE!!!

I just sold a bunch of my guitar pedals on eBay. It was bittersweet for me. I love my guitar pedals. I put so much time in researching for the right one and playing around with it to find that right setting. It's like an artist selling his paint brushes and canvas. But here's what I sold:

- Boss DD-20 Giga Delay w/ Boss FS-5U (which I use for tap tempo)
- Self-modified Boss TR-2 Tremolo
- Line 6 Verbzilla

You're probably thinking, "What! Those are your bread and butter pedals Johan!" I know, I know. I'm selling all of my modulation and delay pedals because I found something that just might be better! That's right! BETTER!

TA-DA! It's the Line 6 POD X3!!! My new "Red Kidney!"


It's got a bunch of amp models (which I probably won't use, unless I want to play some Metallica), a bunch of overdrive/distortion pedals (which I probably won't use, unless I need a solo boost), a bunch of decent sounding mods, a bunch of decent sounding delays, & a bunch of decent sounding reverbs. I'm pretty much replacing 3 pedals for 1.

It's also got a headphone jack and you can record with it too! It's got a bunch of bass preamps, acoustic guitar preamps, as well as vocal preamps. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be able to grab one off of eBay for cheap. I know I'm taking a gamble on this, but I've been looking into upgrading my rig for about 2 years now and I think I finally found what I've been looking for.

I also sold a bunch of Magic cards on eBay recently too. I sold:

3 Chameleon colossi
4 Glimpse of Nature
4 Summoner's Pact
4 Wirewood Symbiotes
1 Doran, the Siege Tower
1 Twincast

With all of my pedals and cards, I have a little over $400 to spend on my new red kidney and some Magic cards. Just in time for the Titanic MN vs. IL battle.

I'll probably sell some other stuff that I've been meaning to get rid of in the next week or so like some old Warhammer Dwarves, some of my old sport & Marvel cards, some more guitar gear, some CDs, some old text books. Good times!
