Taking a long break from it all.

Yeah, I do use presets and MIDI. But I have a few pedals that don't have that.

I used to use tape, but it can get quite messy.

You have a halo? How are you getting on with it?

I've been tempted for a while now. But I have a lot of delay pedals already. 😩

Most guitarists collect boutique pedals for the hype.

Cheap or expensive, I stick to what I think sounds great.

I remember a time when these were the only pedals I could afford at my
local music store.

Fantastic pedals!

Tattoo this on my forehead!

Always double-check your effects pedals' settings!

Those knobs always move around - even in a hard case.

I thought my delay was set the other day, but it was an embarrassing mess when I kicked it on.

Does anyone have a nice, tidy way to keep track of core settings?

🤩 It's a legendary pedal: low gain or high gain, it's fantastic.

I do. Unless it’s a pedal I just want for home use.

The only larger pedals I have on my live board these days are ones that will do multiple different sounds. Such as my delay and reverb pedals.

I genuinely love moments like that.

I love effects pedals,

but sometimes, I get super inspired by watching a band perform with nothing but their instruments. ❤️

There's something to learn from everyone.

Wow. There are some super interesting pedals here!

Nice board! 🤩

Genuinely laughed out loud at this. 😂

I love a good shimmer!

This is super cool! 🤩

What paint did you use?

Nice one, I bet it sounds awesome! You can never go wrong with a Rat.

Oooohhh. I like this q. 😍

For me, it has to be the MXR Carbon Copy Delay.

Weirdly, it's not even on my pedalboard right now.

But if I had to choose just one. That'd be it.

Nice board! 🚀

TBH, I’ve never used the Ridge so can't give you specific advice there.

But, stick with it. Sometimes these things take a bit of playing around with.

From what I understand of the Ridge, you can get pretty much get anything OD out of it (after a bit of trial and error).

Nice board! 🤩

I've heard great things about the Diamond Tremolo. Haven't got to try it out myself yet.

What's your verdict?

I don't need much persuading. 😆

That's the exact reason I haven't gone for it yet.

I gotta admit, I am still hovering. 😆

I was thinking the same. I'm not sure tbh.

I guess they’re using this to clear out stock — I could be wrong.

I have a couple of Chase Bliss already so I decided not to risk it.

300€ is a good price. People will get a good deal. But that's a big chunk of cash towards a pedal I really need/want.

I have to admit the Chase Bliss mystery box tempted me.

Who got one?

Handluggage containing effects pedals and Alpen muesli.

My Travel Checklist:

✅ Guitar pedals.
✅ Alpen.
✅ Cheese triangles (I ate them).

Now, this looks exciting!

Love the name! 😆

Every time I see a Carbon Copy on a board, my heart skips a beat. ❤️

I'm far from one of the best accounts, but Hi! 👋

I like guitar gear.

Legend!

🤩

So, it turns out...

David Gilmour records his demo guitar parts using a 30-year-old Zoom multi-effects rack unit.

It makes me realize there must be no more excuses.

Let's get making those demos!
