Why do we not buy the boring stuff?

Do you find yourself longing for the latest stomp box and when you get it you stick it on your board and try to connect it to your power supply and find yourself saying my next purchase is gonna be a decent power supply!!
But their no fun:(
They don't look good:(
You normally hide them away...:)

Discuss...........:)

I don't own a board or individual stomp boxes so worrying about a power supply doesn't come into it for me.

Priorities... I've needed a pedalboard for ages and just bought a new guitar and amp in the last few months. :pac:

I´d been promising myself a pedal tuner for many years but I finally got around to doing it recently. It´s a TC Electronic Polytune, which, luckily enough, can also be used as a power supply for other pedals.

I´m also planning on buying a luxurious strap because my current strap, which has a locking system, simply doesn´t work with my Gretsch Annie.

Doesn't work or doesn't match? :pac:

Both! Gretsches come with 1950s-style strap locks. Basically the strap button is a different shape and screws out if you twist it. My strap only works with regular strap buttons.

And it doesn't have cactii or bulls on it.

I recently treated myself to a proper power supply, it was the blandest purchase ever, but has made the biggest impact. No unexplained hum or buzz from any pedals anymore, no random squealing halfway through gigs, great piece of kit!

Drums don't have boring parts. Even cymbal felts are fun and sexy..

Got a power supply ages ago for the simple reason that I hate looking at wires all over the place and I'm a bit of a neat freak... Couldn't do without now.

I dunno, I like getting the boring stuff, specially for pedal boards... A while ago I bought a Diago board, power supply, and a load of Planet Waves patch cables. Spent an hour setting everything up in my new case, ended up really satisfied with my day's work :pac:

I find maintenance like string changes really soothing.

I really have to invest in a decent power supply:o
