While we’re on the topic, are digital ehx effects like my good ole SMMH true bypass? When i hear digital, I think buffered, and that totally fucks with my fuzzes. That’s why I never use boss pedals.

I think as far as ods/distortions/fuzzes, they should stay analogue. But I’ve played with the #1 echo and micro pog and it sounded just fine. The only thing is digital isn’t as spontaneous, it’s very precise and exact usually. Thats what charms me with analogue is there’s always that small (tiny) factor it could do something amazing at the right time. Example: Blue Box.

i’ll have to get the Screaming Bird to match my Singing Tree. =]

Yeah, whats wrong with steely dan?

I use two Fenders currently: a Mexi Jazzmaster and a mexi telecaster. I love mexican fender, they’re super reliable. I don’t really need the “excellent tone” of an american because I’m pushing my guitar through five or so fuzzes anyways,

I also use a Gibson SG Classic, and Eastwood Hi-flyer. SG’s are my favorite shaped guitars, they’re lightweight and all the controls are off to the side and out of the way of my strumming. I had to unscre the top pick-up selector on my jazzmaster so I’d stop jacking it at shows.

I imagine it helps either way. When I put it before my singing tree overdrive I get a dying battery-like sound and the low end is super loose like its gated, but you can still hold a note for days.

Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, The White Stripes, Arcade fire, The Vines, The Strokes, The Beatles, The Clash, Daft Punk, Gorillaz.

….thats ten…..I think.

The Blue Box was my secret weapon, it’s the coolest thing to put at the beginning of your chain tog et gnarly effects. I’m sure it’d sound even crazier through the pog (or vice versa).

Yeah it’s just basic, and I don’t really have a use for a boost. I think passive volume controls are a bit more useful. Sometimes decreasing gain is a lot more fun.

I agree on the Hazarai, it’s a songwriters dream.
