Exactly. It might seem ironic, but Satch probably wasn't trying to record a pedal demo when he tracked that album. I think he was trying to create textures that would give the notes a bit of focus so you could really hear what was going on inside those runs. The album is rich with textures -- from the riffs to the solos, from the bass guitar to those atmospheric clean parts. It's just such a great record, and for me that's partly because of all those unconventional tones.
