For some reason I recently got a suggested post of a squirrel recipe and honestly the photos looked dank, I’d be lying if I wasn’t salivating reading the whole thing and recipe
There’s so many squirrels around the dog park at my complex. And squirrels get my sweet little boy Franklin so worked up and on edge. They 10000% know that and purposely aggravate and troll him, pisses me off lol. I have no lovey dovey feelings towards squirrels, they’re intelligent pricks
This rad lad wouldn’t hurt a fly. But he’d fuck up a douchey squirrel given the opportunity

Oh man. Best of luck to Franklin!
My Mom can't currently park her car in her own Garage because of the
tenants that have moved into the rafters and scare the beejeezus out of her.
I tried to convince her to just leave her car running in there and close the doors.
Fuckers will find a way into your car, too. They have an odd love of napkins and
paper products stashed in any compartments.
I need to get them out--and have been working on it---but they know EXACTLY
when I am there and armed.

Nah, the trap is that you go all the way to buy that nice tube amp, a bunch of pedals etc. Lots of money spent, then you need to spend more if you want a different amp, or additional fx. Then you ultimately end up with something that your modeler rig did pretty well already.
I'll give an example of my journey. Over the past years, the amp/pedal gear that has been through my hands has gone something like this:
I was using the Axe-Fx 2 for like 6-7 years through an Atomic FR 1x12 combo. Was happy with my tone, hated editing on unit. Then the Axe-Fx 3 landed, it still had a lot of the same things I hated on the 2, so I said "fuck this shit", sold the Axe-Fx 2 while it still went for decent money, and went tube amp shopping.
Ended up with a Bogner Goldfinger 45 SL 1x12 combo. I wanted the head, but it would have taken like 3-4 months to get, so I bought the combo, thinking I can always turn it into a head. In the end that was necessary because apparently the combo was made of gold bullion so it was as heavy as a Super Reverb or Twin. But sounded great, did a lot.
Then I start thinking I want some effects, so I buy a used Belle Epoch Deluxe, a Keeley D&M Drive and Strymon Flint V1. Around the same time someone sells a Helix Floor really cheap so I pounce on that, just to try that platform.
Fast forward a few years and I have a bunch more pedals, a 4x10 cab, BluGuitar Amp 1, Victory VC35 head and cab, then Fractal gear again...
In around 2021 I sold the Bogner since someone wanted to buy it, and begrudgingly had to admit the much cheaper BluGuitar did everything that amp did. In 2022 I moved so I decided to sell the VC35 and a 1x12 cab for it, as I expected I didn't get to play it loud regularly. Should've kept it honestly, great amp.
I'm down to a pedalboard full of Strymon pedals, the BluGuitar, Bluetone 4x10 cab, two BluGuitar cabs, and a Hotone Ampero 2 Stomp. A pile of guitars of course.
GAS is a helluva drug!
PS. If you think I'm Mr. Moneybags after reading all that...remember that this is over a lot of years so it's usually maybe 1-2 really expensive things in a year, and a lot of used gear.

I’ve managed to avoid most of this by having a tube and a modelling rig and keeping both regardless of how much I use it atm . This is a lesson I learned from buying and selling guitars over the last 40 years. I buy timeless classic tube gear that is inspirational and keep it. The digital is different because I primarily use Axe3 and it will only be upgraded when Axe 4 comes out. I’m not interested in mk2 or turbo xl because I don’t write cpu heavy patches. I get to try everything in my work so that is a luxury not every player has .
For me the gear that comes and goes like a yo-yo is a great Les Paul, they sound and look amazing but I hate playing them.

Thanks for being open about that. And I do see how I have done the same. A bit cheaper, but still. First buy was a Yamaha THR10ii because it was a fine practice desktop amp. After some time I found that thing too small and then I bought a Boss Katana second hand. Which I disliked from the beginning but would have been sufficient. Then I bought the HX Stomp + Studio monitors at the end of 2023.
The Yamaha I still have and when I now plug it in, it sounds good enough. I got better. The gear didnt.

I still wouldn't consider your experiences as some kind of a trap. It's more like a journey to realize what it is you really like and need. You ended up somewhere but others have gone down similar paths and instead prefer the tube amp(s) and pedals. I'm somewhere in between currently. It's not just about money, convenience, or more features, it's also about what works for us sonically and helps us get a musical point across.

Ime there’s a lot of benefit in to simply have both available…and combine them.
Tube amps are excellent “make it louder boxes” for modelers.
Modelers are excellent/efficient handling time efx in an analog setup
Having tube amps around are a nice benchmark for digital stuff..and what I do..I use what I got in the analog domain in my digital devices…so that gives me consistency.. if I ever get a new device on a new platform…I capture my stuff…and I’m good to go.
Silentstages, recording, clubs where you need an amp…all good. And when you stay away from buying "FRFR" stuff and/or pedals for stuff a modelers handles well…the added costs for having both are not to much either

I just jumped 10 pages and before I could even finish thinking “JFC there’s no way they could still be talking about squirrels”…boom.
Guess I’ll tune in after another 10 pages. This entire forum is a testament to untreated ADHD. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
