I’ve always been an old school roots player . I always do the old school thump at gigs , and despite that get frequent compliments on my tone . I get a nice thump . Straight into the amp .
But after picking up that Squier VI to goof around on I’ve been picking up pedals . I’ve been showing considerable restraint too . So far I picked up a Fender TreVerb , a Genzler overdrive , and for giggles an Aguilar octaver . So I’m going down that slippery slope . Now this stuff is just for goofing around at home , they’d be lighting the torches if I started using this on gigs , but a nice locally made 13x18 pedal board just popped up on kijiji , and I’m getting it . Might be a day or two before I pick it up , we’re looking at some weather here .
I have been scarred from looking at some exquisite tweed covered boards on the internet . So that might be an option too . I can easily contact the designer , he re-tolexes amps and cabs …
And now I’ll have to pick up a couple more pedals … I’ll have some room , now that I’ve defined the size .
I’m going down that rabbit hole .
