Re: I think i have a problem...
I'm Guilty. Knob tweaker whore, actually its more like "into the science and not the practice"
I really want to be a better player. I am not under the illusion that a new pedal or guitar or amp is going to make me a better player. My issue is I get side tracked by the gadgets and unique tonal sounds, modulations, ...etc. I have always been into electronics (Heathkits, Radio Shack..when they still sold tubes:wink:,) My recent fascination with delays and chorus is driving me nuts.
I love the acoustic sound I am getting at the moment with my small setup, a Danelectro 18volt cool cat chorus into a Strymon Brigadier delay. When I switch to electric with the Brigadier....Wow, it really really amazes me how good this pedal sounds compared to the numerous delays I have used/owned. When I hear the demo's of the El Capistan.... when a real guitarist gets a hold of it.... its wondrous. I love the simplicity of it, yet if you dig into it, lots of tweaking can be had.
The timeline I know would be a great pedal.....but just as I love tweaking and gadgetry, I can get turned off by too many parameters and adjustments to get to where I want my ear to hear!
I need to take the Nike commercial advice....JUST DO IT and then make up my mind, get it over with, then learn to play the guitar better. I really need to get to the better guitar player part first.:smack:
