Message: <blockquote data-quote="R_J_K75" data-source="post: 9452377" data-attributes="member: 6921294">You are correct. I have a flanger/chorus pedal that the name escapes me that falls into that same category. I go back and forth between pedals and multi-effect units. Pedals have gotten somewhat complicated these days. I bought a TCE Brainwaves pedal (pitch shifter) that I couldn't figure out how to shut it off, it stayed latched. It may have been broken out of the box. I pulled the cover off and changed the settings inside, so I know it wasn't that. I ended up trading in an Epiphone ES-335 Pro and that for a Boss ME-90 multi-effect unit. I'm waiting on a new USB-C chord that data transfers from Amazon before I fire it up. I made sure to read the instructions this time. I just fried a Boss DD3T pedal because I grabbed the wrong voltage power chord. But yeah, I have a ton of pedals, and I am so amazed sometimes at how little pedals a lot of famous guitarists use...except the Edge. His pedal board looks like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"  The Rat was a pretty prolific pedal, Kurt Cobain used one IIRC. I tend to just swap out pickups for hotter ones and turn up the gain on my amp rather than use distortion pedals anymore, unless I'm looking for a heavier sound like Megadeth.  For that I have an EHX Metal Muff. EVH/Tom Morello, no distortion on their pedal boards. The term overdrive came from guitarists in the 60's pushing their tube amps past points they were designed for.Not sure if this is the same genre because I've become old, but I like Cage the Elephant a lot. Although their new CD isn't that great. They are coming here in a week or two and me and my girlfriend have been threatening to go for a while, but the venue kind of blows. Parking is terrible, and it's a long walk to standing room, finally, the sound isn't that good there. Last I checked tickets are $200+, so I'm not going.</blockquote>
