I see your point Danny and I share it.
My wife as well does the same...I've to be honest.
We married 17 years ago and she always supported my main hobby...also she suggested me to have a training with a serious and well known italian guitar maker to start my small activity with guitars and basses repair and setup (and I did it...).
I just miss a friend into serious money who would sponsor my gear, but I do not want to recriminate about this...
Now...about growing racks full of crack gear, this is a dangerous place full of very dangerous people.
And I love it!!!
I did not complete my first new rack yet (but missing stuff is coming fast!) and I'm building a second one.
I already have the Zoom 9150...all alone now...with his dedicated 8050 MIDI controller and FP-01 expression pedal...should I sell it? Why?
It's easier to buy a Marshall Valvestate 8008 power amp, a 2U rack case and a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI controller for some nuts.
Damage done.
Go look for a TC GMaj, bro.
