@Gaghiggs Well, each stomp box only gets minimal use. I think I’ve said before that I liken it to cooking. Your amp and guitar are your main ingredients and your pedals are your spice rack – to be used sparingly and never all at once!

@Gaghiggs I only use stomp boxes sparingly. Mostly have a chorus on most of the time, occasionally replace that with a phaser, a bit of compression and analogue delay during the very occasional lead breaks.

@Gaghiggs Well, unfortunately for me I’m also our arsehole singer, as well as being sole guitarist, so I have songs to forget as well as guitar parts to forget and stomp boxes to forget to engage!

At least having fewer members in a band means organising rehearsals is a bit easier.

@damian It’s the way they all seem to keep drumming while everyone else is trying to talk through song structure or whatever so you can’t hear yourself think.

Plus drummers are a bit more scarce than just about every other type of musician so we tend to be less choosy before taking them on
