Another pair of £5 Amazon vouchers, and 2 cheques for £50 each, and my total of stuff for the year is now £568.67. Which is pretty impressive.
And probably about another 50 quid still to come this year, maybe more.
Wonder what target I should set for next year?

Still playing with my fancy box
But that might change, what with christmas coming up. Although I have got the pedal board for it coming as a christmas present, so I guess maybe not. It's still causing me to perform 20 minute guitar solos though. And by "20 minute guitar solos", I just mean I get some drums and maybe some odd noises going, and then fiddle with the guitar for ages, with all the effects neatly in time.
And I've also added £6.63, plus £15 quid of Amazon vouchers to my total of "Stuff from the Internet". Making £458.67. With about £150 to come, which might get to me this year.

Fancy guitar box and more vouchers
15 quid of Amazon vouchers today, bringing me to £423.15. Oh, and a DVD that would cost £13.89 from the people who supply it in exchange for points. Making, erm, £437.04.
And my fancy guitar box came. Plug the guitar in, pick one of 40 different amps it can pretend to be (ranging from nice and clean to downright dirty and almost painful), one of 121 effects (the usual choruses and flangers, and some weird ones), plug the USB cable into the PC, start my software to play some other noises, and then play the guitar until my fingers hurt. All the effects being nicely in sync with the tempo from the software. Handy for those delays where you want to get a nice rhythm going by playing in time with the echoes of the previous notes.
It's very nice, has 8 big knobs to play with, and 10 buttons. And flashing lights. Need to make sure the software is recording things properly. In time. Minor issues with the delay between playing something on the guitar in time with the PC, and then finding it's not quite in time because of the delays in the PC playing the sound. But it's definitely worth the bargain price of 80 quid.
