I guess I'm just too used to using my overdrive/distortion pedals to compliment and boost my amps preamp....

My bad - yeah, its DigiTech. I don't function well before 10 AM...

The price is very good - I got mine for CDN$60. I just may go back and buy it again, and rig some kind of external bypass switch for it. It really does make some wonderful tones when its on. It really does suck all the tone out of your axe when its off.

Placing the dist. pedal in the effects loop gives you some more options on sound shaping, because that usually puts most of the preamp in front of the pedal.

And you shouldn't sound so surprised that you got good stuff out of a Yamaha? :rolleyes:
