Pedals have a significant place in our performing history because a) they
are/were available, b) affordable new and used, one-at-a-time, c) and the
hope that ONE MORE device will get the sound wanted.

For those reading who have not made a pedalboard investment (or have one
pedal) STOP. Multi-effects processors do all of this in one package, BUT
you take time to learn to manage each parameter. (Or buy a used RP series
from Digitech, and get Richard Hunter's patch set. It's time or money.)

Now that processors do a really GOOD job of amped tube modelling (they
didn't used to) I don't want to tote the much-loved tweeds and bullets. The
sound palette is far wider, AND you get to keep your best tube-crunch honk.

You can be several instruments in the band...Organ, Synth, Octaves, Wah's
and filters, and several amp-tone packages, too. Wow, I love it. No
impedance mismatch, no connector failures.

Now, if you want to LOOK like a traditional bluesman, that's a different
goal. Keep the hat, shades, and 4x10 cabinet.
