KOT is a very cool OD! Congrats on finding one.
I haven't gotten anything too spectacular this year. The little chrome delay in the upper left of the board, Red Witch 'Violetta', is pretty cool and I got it relatively cheap. I've been using it a lot.

Hands down my Washburn N4. It just fits like a glove.

Internals are set to factory: subtle comp/slight boost and the toggle I generally keep on the low setting.
*I got it because I needed a 'mini' fly-a-way, carry-on board but I've been using it here at home a lot too. Great compressor for any price point or size. The Xotic stuff is all really good gear. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

This is my best purchase this year.
 Fractal Audio Axe FX II XL. I am still figuring it out but even the presets sound good (for the most part, there are some really odd ones, too  )

I'm a big fan of DR strings. I went to purchase some DR CORE strings for my acoustic when the shop I was at was unfortunately out. But they had DR DRAGON SKIN strings, which is usually 2 strikes for me. Strike 1, coated strings. There's some good ones out there, but I remember when Elixer strings came out. They made my $100 acoustic sound awesome. Then I had an older mentor guitar player dude show me how they really just suck out the tone, but make it louder. So, I've not dived too deep in the coated string thing. and #2, what a douche name. (personal taste there)
But I said what the hell and bought them. They've actually been pretty great. They last longer than the CORE strings I usually buy (which is great because I can get in a stint where I'm gigging with my acoustic a good bit) and sound really comparable. And feel nice. I went yesterday to buy strings, and they had both the CORE and the Dragonskin (though it looks like they are disconiuing carrying the strings at my shop) and I bought the dragonskin. So I guess I'm a fan. CHECK EM OUT! -------------------- Rock and Roll Lover. Vintage Ampeg collector. Soon to be new father.

QUOTE (SeeJay @ May 14 2014, 02:21 PM)  Guess I should track down a 69 fuzz and complete the collection. Those are a little pricey these days (the 'big' box version). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fulltone-69-Fuzz-S...=item27e06223de *70 fuzz is a great, great sounding pedal. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I know they are a bit pricey.
There's also a hendrix version too that looks rad, but is going for a pretty penny. But I'm good at hunting down deals, I'm sure I'll get one for a price I'm cool with. If I was going to spend that kind of money on a germanium fuzz, I would go a different route for sure.
