You Know What's Awesome About Effects Pedals?

PopIsDead · 04-14-2010, 09:08 PM

A lot of the music I've been doing lately involves lots of tape loops through guitar effects, and it's hard to say that there's technical skill involved in pressing play on a tape. I hardly even play guitar through my pedalboard anymore. It's a lot easier to make a sound to manipulate with a keyboard or a sound generator.
