$300 to spend on stuff (need suggestions)

[ADAOCE]

Got some money expressly directed to be used towards stuff I want not need (lol) and I’m struggling to choose.

I’m looking for suggestions. There’s always the isolated power supply maybe upgrading to a legit unit or I’m looking the Boss SY200 or the Méris Enzo. Anything I’m overlooking?

I definitely recommend a good isolated power supply. It makes a significant difference in the noise floor. It may not be fun or glamorous but if hum is bothering you even a bit, I would definitely give it a shot.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve negated most of my noise issues by having a large power strip integrated under my board and isolate bad effects but I’m still considering the upgrade just for simplicity

This is a fun situation to be in. There are usually a half a dozen things in the back of me mind for just a scenario as this- a sudden windfall that isn't required for necessities. As previously noted, a power supply is nice but dreadfully unsexy. If you've had your eye on the Enzo or sy-200, that might be just the ticket.

How about an upgraded solder station and off board components (hookup wire, jacks, 3rds switches, solder, etc).

Excellent suggestion but I upgraded my setup a bit last year.

They both have my interest. Also looking at the strymon deco

I bought a deco last year and was pretty underwhelmed by it. It does a lot and for me it does too much

Interesting thanks for the feedback. This is gonna be tougher than I thought

New (used) amp? +1 also for isolated power. I love my CS12 - I got a really good deal used.

Get a nice neck and start a build

New amp is not a bad idea..

After some careful consideration I have decided to buy the GFI Specular Tempus. If I like it enough I’ll sell my SLO to get some money back. I love all the programmable features and flexibility. Thinking of running some modulation (shallow water, tremolo) or fuzz in the effects loop.

I would spend it all on trim pots. Trim pots.

Right. Also IC sockets.

Voodoo lab Mondo was the best move I've ever made for my pedalboard.... plenty of power available and various voltages.
