I’ve added an overdrive and have been playing around with adding either a wah, chorus, or delay. When I get to many pedals I forget about playing. I had the most fun in my older days just plugging in and playing.

In reply to - Zimmie posted an update

Is it really possible to have too many pedals?

just asking for a friend… 🤣😂🤣

A few underrated albums from those days to check out are Junkyard (Junkyard), Badlands (Badlands and Voodoo Highway), and Love/Hate (Black Out in the Red Room). All great hard rock.
