🎵 It's Been A While

I haven't been on Carousell much this year. The only gear that entered my life in 2020 was the Mighty Red Distortion and the MacBook Pro in June. Mainly due to other areas of my life requiring me to throw in money, my music life hasn't seen much action this year.

On 10th July 2020, I listed 3 of my music gear up on Carousell. I have again reached the part of life where I sell away gear that are of no use to me. The AMT Chameleon Cab was the first to go, sold only a few hours after the initial listing. Followed by the MRD on the following day.

With the Helix and HX Stomp dominating my build, and the power of the DT770 Pro headphones, the AMT Chameleon Cab was literally only used once in the entire year I've had it. It's a really well-built pedal though, which is why I kept it on display for the past year. Finally it has been handed over to better hands for half the price I paid.

The only other pedal that is also taking up a permanent display is the Mighty Red Distortion. This is generally the failed attempt at matching my dual OCDs on display. Nothing can beat my dual OCDs so this pedal had to go eventually. It's also a nice pedal though, just not as nice as my OCDs. Thankfully I was able to sell the MRD off at the same price I got it for.

The last item is a surprising one. For the entire 2020, I barely turned on this amplifier. Been using the Beyerdynamic headphones all this while that I forgot about the existence of the THR10C. I did do some research into the Boss Katana series though, which would probably be my next physical amplifier in the future. Sold this today for $230. 

After this sale, the number of gear I have in life has reached an all time low. Most of them are essential except for the dual OCDs. I couldn't see anymore gear to sell so my next post would probably be me starting to buy again. Hehehe...
