Anyone else getting sick of GAS?

I have been doing Warmoth fantasy builds for over 25 years. Someday, maybe, I'll actually build one.
I love when they offer something special.

Its sad going into gc and seeing used gt1000 … helix and headrushed in the cases covered in dust for cheap
 
I've been pretty happy downsizing a lot lately, though my amp collection definitely seems to keep growing because I'm a sucker for a good trade. Still, GAS on the guitar side has completely subsided for me. I sold 5 guitars last year and I'd love to sell more but the rest of them either have sentimental value or I "gifted" them to one of my kids (who doesn't play it but if I sold it, would be really upset LOL!). There's a few amps I'd like to try still but I'm fairly content in the fact that I've owned almost all of them and there's nothing a new one can do that one of my current amps couldn't do close enough. Currently debating selling two of my amps. I don't need them, but I also still enjoy them.
 
I am not even in the app.

Clean >> gain and master, EQ and a bit of reverb.

When you are used to the HX stomp this thing is really easy to dial in.
The Stomp is killer, but I honestly don’t use mine. I guess I keep it in case I get a tube amp again so I can use it for 4CM. I know it can sound as good as my Quad Cortex if I spent the time to dial it in and get to know it, but I just don’t have the patience for it. I work in IT and I’m burnt out with tech lol, I just like my guitar gear to be simple to use and monkey proof. That’s a me problem, not a Stomp problem.

Haha I was considering the same to buy a tube amp around 300 euro and then just use the HX stomp as the overdrive pedal to tame the tube amp a bit.
 
I’m really sick of GAS also…trying new gear takes too much time, flipping it even more, and I still sound like I have for years.

This year I bought an L5 and a Dumble clone to cure it…;)
I'm much more likely to flip digital gear. Much easy to ship out 😂 amps I rarely part with unless it's a local sale which good luck
