Always like to hear what people are puttering around with these days.
I recently got a R8 Les Paul Custom Shop in December that is my endgame guitar. Its simply stunning looking too, like a piece of art, and it sounds so damn good. Got it for cheap from a starving artist dude too.
I am an early adopter to the Helix Stadium XL (upgrade from the Line 6 Helix), it is fucking awesome, although not a huge upgrade from the original Helix yet. Although the new amps clearly "feel" better and sound a bit better. Also way easier to dial in tones with some really cool interface features they have. Apparently amp profiling is coming to the unit in March, we shall see - never messed around with NAM or profiles before but I hear they are superior
Ordered a Behringer Pro 800, which is a Sequential Prophet 6 synthesizer clone I think, but Sweetwater says its on backorder until like this summer or something due to supply chain and tariffs
Pretty much done with guitars. Might get a Les Paul Black Beauty or a Kramer Nightswan with blue lightning finish but in no hurry https://www.kennellykeysmusic.com/shop/c/p/Kramer-NightSwan-Vivian-Campbell-Signature-Lightning-wCase-1987-1989---Used-x400010892.htm?srsltid=AfmBOoqWN-VxkM1iTa6bmMlCB0qWjT7DEX6NeReqcdDcRdOmDHSaORTk
