You should enlist in the 501st! Just be sure not to wear it while courting as you'll be guaranteed not to hit anything.

You're never too poor to pass on a 250gb SSD for $20 shipped.

Same concept as Al Gore's get rich quick scheme (look up "carbon credits" if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Well as a diabetic, living in the US would quickly get expensive for me, but yeah, that is still an awesome piece of hardware for the money! SSDs are sweet!

This is all over the past few months. Pretty much my whole guitar gear setup, except for the amp and a multi-effects pedal I already had.
I already had the guitar itself too, but back in November I got the pickups changed out to some Seymour Duncan Phat Cats. The guitar originally had active pickups in it, which I was excited to try out, but all it did was show me that passives are probably better suited to my tastes. If nothing else, I probably have the only Phat Cats-equipped ESP LTD EC-331 in the world, and I like that thought. Doesn't matter if it's technically "top of the line" or anything; I just like knowing my gear is at least semi-individualized. :turn-l:
The Whammy Pedal was a Christmas gift from my dad, which I was kind of shocked by. The damn thing is probably around $200. Professional-grade stuff, used by a ton of major guitarists. Opens me up to a lot of new possibilities. It also lets me drop a clean tone down an octave, essentially giving me a solid bass tone, which will come in handy when I start recording things.
The pedal on the far right is a Dunlop Cry-Baby, which I got last month. Basic gear for any guitarist; a good wah-wah pedal lets you do some nice 70s porn music, and who doesn't love that? It has uses beyond that, of course (RATM's Bulls on Parade is a good, simple example), but come on. Porn music, bruh.
The Soul Food on the far left is an excellent overdrive pedal, probably just about the best you can get for the price, based on all the research I did. Basically a copy of the Klon Centaur, an old pedal which goes for ridiculous prices nowadays. Provides extremely transparent overdrive, meaning it doesn't alter the natural sound of your amp too much (unlike many others), it just adds as much grit as you like and has the ability to boost the output a great deal.
The MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion I got just yesterday, since a local music store had some good coupons going. Heavier sound than the Soul Food, obviously (there is a difference between overdrive and distortion, after all), though most places I looked online seem to think it's not heavy enough for metal. But fuck all that noise; stack it with the Soul Food, move the settings around a bit so they're both providing some grit, and it seems plenty heavy enough for me. Absolutely loving the sound of these two paired together.

Pretty happy with my setup now. I finally feel like I don't have to buy anything else to get the sound I want. It's pretty much all here.
