Besides, I never understood the appeal of equipment in general. They're tools. You usually don't see a carpenter drooling over his hammer (unless he's a special kind of a carpenter).

I rarely work with a contractor who doesn't at some point want to show off his $300 drill.
There are many reasons to buy gear, no? To shake things up, to solve a particular shortcoming, to widen one's palette? I have equipment that is really good at doing specific things, but I don't have any one box that is suitable for any and all purposes. Does this just mean I haven't spent enough time using said pieces? I'm not so sure.
And maybe some will view this as a shortcoming, but I do regularly run into battles I could not fight with a single EQ and a single compressor.
