I think my ears are getting better. Instead of hearing a big dark blur, I'm hearing a big light blur.
But seriously, I've just discovered how horribly just the bypass on my Digitech rp90 multieffects pedal mangles my tone. I'd begun to notice the cruminess of non-bypass-ness, but this just takes el cako.
I know this is all a matter of opinion, and I'm probably not going to do it (the pedal is still good for experimentation and performance in front of non-audiophiles), but if I were to sell the pedal, what single pedal (c. $100) would it be wisest to replace it with?
Eh, I'll answer that myself, so as not to commandeer the thread. Probably one single relatively versatile distortion. Except I've got a really good amp with really good distortion, it just needs a fuse and the cap that covers the fuse socket.
Maybe a Wah.
In reality, if I was going to sell it, I'd put the money toward a Megatar. That's what I'm trying to save up for for now. Then an EHX h.o.g., then an EHX voice box. Then a G&L s-500 guitar. Then a really good looper, like the ehx 2880.
I guess I need to check out other companies, see how their pedals compare to the particular EHX pedals I just listed.
Then maybe a smoke machine, though I'd only use it in my bedroom. How do people with smoke machines see their pedals?
Oh, no wait. After saving up for the G&L s-500, I'd maybe save up for one of those electronic drum kits, then I could record stuff by myself and give it away at lossless quality because I only do it for the music.
I'm going to stop rambling now.
