Here’s a hypothetical situation we’re all familiar with…
Imagine your wife or significant other walking into your music room or space recently…
“Honey,” she said, “You have a studio full of gear, and from where I’m standing, I can see six amplifiers. Just how many do you need?”
“Just one more,” was my facetious reply.
“C’mon! You can’t possibly play all of those amps at once,” she retorted with a slightly annoyed tone at my sarcasm.
“I know, but when I need a particular sound for a track I’m recording, I can pick out one of these little babies, and get the tone I need,” I said.
“Oh yeah? What about when you gig? You usually only bring one amp with you. So Mr. Picky Tones, if you’re so sensitive about your tone, why don’t you lug a few amps with you?” she said with a smirk.
“That’s why I have these pedals!”
At that she rolled her eyes, gave me a stern look and said, “You’re absolutely hopeless.”
Yeah… that about sums it up…
Guitar Gear 
… and also, we hope our significant other does not realize how many guitars we have stashed away!
My wife said something similar on Friday as I unboxed my brand new Highway One Strat. She asks me, “Are you about done with getting guitars?” I answered the only way I know how. “For now.” I’ll have to keep the “Just one more” in mind.
Hahahaha!!! I hear ya! But the cool thing about running a gear blog is that my wife doesn’t know what’s mine and what’s not mine – and I’ve learned to NEVER elaborate…
