Axe-FX Chronicles 3 : What could I get rid of?

Following a lot of discussions related to Axe-FX owners, there seems to be a trend where the Axe-FX starts out as an effects-only device in an existing amp rig and slowly takes over more & more of the rig's capabilities as time passes. This often leads to a major gear de-acquisition phase in which small mountains of amps + cabs + FX units are gradually unloaded.

This got me thinking a bit... if the Axe-FX really does live up to my high expectations, how much gear could I possibly get rid of? (Note: This blog post contains forward looking statements that may imply that I would sell dozens of pieces of gear. We all know that'll never really happen, or in the event that it does, it would simply lead to the acquisition of dozens of other pieces of gear. Carry on...) So here's a quick inventory of amp & recording-related gear I could probably unload...

Amps & cabinets: Egnater 1x12" cabinet, Egnater/Mojo JTM45 head, Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster head, Mesa/Boogie Electra Dyne head, Mesa/Boogie Lone Star Special head, Mesa/Boogie Mark Five head, Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Ace head, Rocktron Vendetta 4x12" cabinet, Soldano SL-60 head, Traynor YBA-1 with Fuchs ODS mod

Effects & accessories: Axess Electronics BS2 buffer/splitter, BBE Freq Boost treble booster pedal, Carl Martin compressor/limiter pedal, ISP Technologies Decimator noise reduction pedal, Johnson J-Station modeler, Rocktron PatchMate MIDI switcher, TC Electronic Nova System multi-FX, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive overdrive pedal

Studio gear: Blue "The Ball" dynamic mic, Kel Audio HM-2d condenser mic, Line 6 GearBox Plug-in Gold Bundle, Shure SM57 cardioid dynamic mics

So tally 'em up... 22 pieces of gear & counting, probably close to $10K in amps alone. Kinda scary, eh? Again, I don't know how much of the above gear I'd actually get rid of, but it's interesting to think about scaling down & starting from scratch. Maybe I'll have to rename the blog to "Gear De-Acquisition Syndrome." (Unlikely!)
