First thing he said holding up his guitar was "This is not an instrument even though many of you might think so." Then he pointed at his cable, effects and amplifier: "All of this is the instrument."Micknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408993972160963249.post-36091871939672416352011-03-17T15:52:23.970-05:002011-03-17T15:52:23.970-05:00I look at it as I do most technology.

If you write a great riff, maybe adding or tweaking your effects will bring it up to a new more interesting level. The same goes for anything else. When you use technology you should be getting more done and/or getting it done better or faster than you could have without.jfreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408993972160963249.post-32960186049102051172011-03-17T10:53:31.072-05:002011-03-17T10:53:31.072-05:00Some of us are looking for new sounds beyond what ...Some of us are looking for new sounds beyond what we've heard for the past 40 years.

Is there really a difference in the end if you plug straight in or use a pedal? Does your amp have a EQ? your guitar/bass/ect and a tone control or onboard EQ? Did you pick your instrument for a certain voicing? How is that different? And why does it matter how the sound is produced as long as the one producing said sound like what they hear?Mudfuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064080563055750204noreply@blogger.com
