My 16th Hotone Skyline pedal arrived today: the "Golden Touch". It is said to be a TS-808 type overdrive. Normally I'm not a Tubescreamer guy, but this one sounds really nice.

wow Pepe - I had no idea they made that many Skylines. What's your favorite? :snax:

The TAPE EKO and the KRUSH are the coolest machines of the bunch. :love: There is no single mediocre pedal among the Skyline series. The TREM is also one of my favourites, because it completely nails the vintage amp tremolo of Fender and Vox. The HARMONY does better pitch shifting than my BOSS PS-3 (sound-quality-wise) and the ROTO is a lovely analog Univibe mockup. It's a shame that Hotone doesn't offer new Skyline models. But there are 29 in total.

Here is an earlier snapshot of my collection (Golden Touch, Choir, Harmony and Tape Eko are missing in this picture):

My looper from Hotone from this series has a bit of noise and it heats up a ton even when bypassed, so I suspect the SMD parts are always drawing power and they don’t have enough room for passive cooling. Cool idea but for a looper it is maybe too small.

Missed out on a Pitch Pirate earlier, which means my brain has reset from "don't need any more pedals" to "what can I buy to make up for missing out?"

I am 100% here. Just searching, racking my brain for something I "need". So strange.

I sold something I wasn't using yesterday (8 Step Program), which hasn't helped either.

edit: I might have thought of something *sigh*

Dudes, I'm right there with you, only regarding drum stuff. Now that my kit is 95% complete, I keep thinking of things like "hmmm, maybe just this extra stand/cymbal/cowbell/accessory..."

On its way now, a used 21" Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Ride - the most expensive single piece so far. I've been using an old 20" Z-series Light Power Crash, but it's just too heavy for my purposes, needed something more versatile.

What did you think of? I've been thinking I need to collect all the Pladask Elektrisk pedals.

Dag, I really had no idea. :idk: I have a Roto (thanks to you, actually), and it is pretty nice, so I guess that's my favorite, lol. Kinda cool seeing that many minis in one place :D Got a picture of all of'em on a board? :snax:

Nothing so exotic as a Pladask Elektrisk pedal - I've been avoiding them due to their scarcity, I don't want to ache for something I can't buy.

I do have a few pedals I once owned on my wishlist plus one or two others I don't wish to spend lots on until I have more money spare, but the one I'm seriously thinking about is the EHX Mod Rex.

A Fostex 450 mixer arrived after six weeks - holy shit I had no idea it was going to be this big. 8 channels, almost 24"x24"

Maybe I can do a family picture of my collection later this day. I don't have a board, though. My pedal array changes so often. ;)
