. As I said above, I hate distortion/fuzz pedals. That's where all my pedal hate is directed. I need to specify that more often.
Chorus too.
I'm ok with the rest of them.
My dislike of pedals really only applies to distortion/fuzz. They pretty much all suck ass IMO. I fully reject modern pedal society and the disgusting idea of an amp being a "pedal platform". Ugh. Amps deserve better than that. Boosts that push an amp are great. Pedals that are the amp...no thanks.
Some pedals are a must though. FX pedals. You can't really swing your speakers around a room, so stuff like chorus and flangers need to exist. Tremolo and vibrato are wonderful. Delays and reverbs do what they do. I'm good with all that.
absolutely .... look , I see your previous comment that I quoted earlier has disappeared.
So I'ma takin' a second to address this.
I missed the part about your hate is for dirt pedals but you'll see that in my musings I said I thought your hate was for dirt pedals so I actually already felt like that was the case.
And I knew that you weren't trying to tell anyone not to use them.
This is one of the things about text that I hate ..... disagreeing about anything often comes across as an argument or people being offended and that's a problem with music and music gear because everyone has different needs or desires and me liking or not liking something has nothing to do with the person I'm agreeing or disagreeing with.
I like to state my thoughts on something even if no one agrees with me and that can come across as aggressive or angry or like it's a big deal.
It's not ...... there's literally no one on the face of the Earth I respect more than teh gerg.
Also I don't think there's a better guy out there either ..... a charitable, giving and even though he'd avoid this descriptor, a loving guy that spends considerable time and effort into giving lives to nubbie dogs.
And yet the magic of text would make that brief interaction seem like we're about to go at it and that's not even close to the truth.
He's one of the few musicians anywhere that can sway me from doing something a certain way and, instead, doing it a way he suggests.
And trust me, that's a very high compliment .... not that getting a compliment from me is anyone's goal but nevertheless it's a very rare thing for me to say that.
Now the fact is a lot of music I love would land in his hate-bucket and I know that some of the little bit I've posted was a bit of a wtf? to him.
And just tighten your belt cause there's gonna be more soon and I'ma making you listen!
But there's no argument going on here and I love all you guys ...... this is about the only board worth visiting and I really enjoy it.
So having said that, fuck you and your non-pedal stance!
I'm gonna gift you some pedals and since I'm your elder you'll use them and like it young man!
