In view of the fact that Surf is but one of my interests (but clean guitar sounds are what I use nearly all the time) I find that most of my effects are related to delaying, echoing, or in some other way modulating the clean sound. I have a Boss RE-20 which is basically a tape echo simulator. I use a DD-5 delay pedal mostly for my clean, lonesome sound and I have a Temolo pedal for those rare occasions I need trem and am not playing my Twin. I am contemplating the purchase of a Weber Tore-Vibe.

| I use a Boss Tremolo pedal sometimes. It's no Tremolux, but it can do some pretty cool stuff. |

My Pedalboard:
Line 6 Echo Park
Line 6 Verbzilla
Barber Tone Press
Voodoo Labs Pedal Switcher
Boss GE7 EQ
Digitech Whammy
Planet Waves Tuner
VooDoo Labs Tremolo
Behringer V-AMP Pro
BBE Supa Charger for pedal power
Radial Big Shot I/O
Radial Big Shot ABY
Fender RI Reverb Tank (is this a pedal?)
I'm planning on getting rid of the Boss GE7 EQ pedal, all the others are used at some point in time. Some more than others.

I like the Boss trem but it does lose some volume. The TR-2 is supposedly much better with the Keeley mods.

Yeah, I only really use it when I practice/write songs at my friend's house. He has good amps and we usually mix in a little overdrive or distortion with it. Sounds a lot better than when I use it at home with my crummy practice keyboard amp. In that situation, there is quite a bit of volume lost. |

I've stepped on the footswitch wired into it. Does that count?
Additionally, I had the tank perched up on a stand, did a pratfall backwards over my pedal board, knocked the tank off the stand completely. Bass player caught the tank mid-flight.
As I was laying on the stage floundering (and laughing my head off), the bassist looked down at me with the tank in his hands and said in all seriousness, "It's okay, I caught it"...
Now that's what I call a supporting bandmate...

One of these days I'll send mine out to Keeley and that should take care of the problem.

Even though your website clearly states that you don't play live?  |
Can you blame him after an event like that? I'd give it up too.

I haven't done anything on that web site in quite a while, thanks for reminding me. Hence it's more than a little out of date. Now that I'm officially retired, I plan to update it. Least that's the goal at this point...
None the less I had to do one gig just to remember why it was I didn't want to gig anymore (August 2008). My daughters 20 year high school reunion wasn't probably the best choice but we were affordable..
I like the Steely Dan idea better where you just don't do any live work. Because, it's a heck of a lot of work to play live. My hats off to all the guys who do though.

| ive got a digitech rp7 that i play with but its not very good and very confusing to use imho. other than that i just use the reverb and overdrive on my amp. i would like to get a line 6 pod (on craigslist for like 50 bucks) to fool around with, and a nice delay pedal. |
