Just a statement... I've finally sold the last of my boutique stomp boxes! For years I've been chasing tones, waiting months (sometimes a year) for a pedal, bought clones and paid out a sh*t load of hard earned cash.
I decided to do this after taking the time to 'really' assess what I needed to get my tones. I was spending far too much time looking searching for perfection, spent far too much time listening to efxs snobs and even chasing vintage kit.
I've realized as far as I'm concerned that the modern equivalent of a vintage pedal, tends to be so much more reliable and often without the inherit vintage reliability issues.
What triggered all this change? I spent some time with some touring guys and was amazed at all the MXR, Boss and dead standard gear they used to create great sounds. No exotic kit, just standard off the shelf stuff that they could get anywhere in the World if it failed.
I'm now going to spend the money I've made on selling a load of efxs!![Yes Way :yesway: :yesway:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/yesway.gif)
