I was just teasing u my friend. Truth be told, I cant justify spending much on gear myself. But $69 would not only solve ur problem, it would give u better sounding results and less future headaches. Plus, it'd show the people here that u take it at least a little seriously which would help them take ur problems more seriously.
I'm just being honest. It's the Jerry Maguire thing... Help them help you. If money's tight though, I can def sympathize. Either way, I wish u luck👍
