Hey! I am new here.
I had bought a fender blues deluxe used. It did not come with a footswitch. I play classic rock covers. I bought a couple of pedals and asked a friend to put them on a small board using velcro.
I am still figuring how to post pics. My pedals are Polytune and Boss SD1, powered by a 9 Volt adapter.
I had a clip on tuner, but I was facing difficulties while tuning my partscaster guitar in noisy environments (bars). I have been much relieved after using a tuner pedal.
I step on the overdrive pedal while soloing. I know it sounds boring, but I don't like the hassle of having a large pedalboard and trouble shooting patch cables and power supplies.
I have seen a friend struggle with it while he was plugged into his huge board, but he plays effect-laden originals. So he really requires all of his pedals.
I have tried using a multi effects unit, but it seemed to have a learning curve. I guess I may not be inteligent enough to use many effects.
It's common for me to meet people who have more pedals than I have. Sometimes I wonder if I should get something like another overdrive, a reverb pedal etc. But I don't use reverb live and feel that I have enough gain. I set the amp for as much gain I want and use SD1 pedal if I need a little more overdrive/ volume boost for solos. If I need to play cleaner, I use my guitar's volume knob.
Am I weird?
