I agree, the 80s had a lot of great guitar work. You just don't hear it anymore. I don't know if it's lack of talent in today's musicians or what. I suspect a lot of it is Hollywood does not want to invest in good bands who have longevity. They wont make as much money.

So I have the following now
Boss DS-1
Boss CE-5
Boss GE-7
Boss RC-2

Next pedal is going to be a Boss delay. Not sure which. I've hear the DD-7 is overkill.
