Jimi Sez:

I never really used pedals until recently. Studio work is - generally - recorded dry, with the producer adding all effects via rack mount or - nowadays - direct from the DAW program.

My first guitar rig was a Traynor bass head and Ampeg 8x10 cabinet. This was around 1984. For some overdrive and reverb effect, I bought a DOD FX-50 and FX-90 and played through that for a few years, until I got my 2203/2034 combo in 1987.

I know fellows who have a pedalboard that is literally bigger than their guitar cases. I watch them always fiddling about with their rig between songs. To me, it's a distraction from a live performance, but to each their own.

I prefer a "set it & forget it" approach.

Not all amps do the same things. My Ibanez doesn't do the Marshall thing by itself, basically it does a Tube Screamer in front of a Fender thing but throw my 89' Turbo Rat in front of it put the dials all around 1 o'clock and your close enough for the girls I go out with. Kick the boost on for leads or extra gain. Even on my DSL with my Super Signa Drive it has a separate boost on it. When on the Red channel kick that boost on and she makes it scream and on the green channel I can use the drive section for some nice gain and still have the boost. Then you throw the TS-9 in and you have more textures & dynamics coming out. It's all different flavors. In your other thread I posted about throwing monkey wrenches in because I can...lol The pic of you holding your guitar in black & white put me right in mind of the photo's he use to put out......so I happen to have his pedal and noticed you don't really have a high gain pedal and room for it on your board so it's boxed up and on it's way to you....monkey wrench thrown :p
