making the most of limited gear
dunno 'bout you but I find one of the best ways of stretching myself guitarwise is to use a budget priced no-frills electric guitar with no or just one old-fashioned effect box. for years I used Hohner strat copy with whammy bar with just a plug-in Boss flange unit. this meant I had to work hard at making the most of limited resources by developing the whole arsenal of dive-bombing, 2-handed tapping, double stops, plucking,raking, sweeping etc. no fancy multi-effects units to hide inadequacies. anyone else tried this approach?

I do what I can with my gear, but I am one to get bored easily. Once I have tried every setting and done many a thing with a certain unit, I like to try something else. With each piece of gear you get you have many many more options for sounds.

i also get bored after tweaking my effects as much as i can.then realize maybe its because its not the right pedal for me therefore i go buy a new one,and the process just repeats itself thats why i so much effects.but the ones worthy get the chance to be on my pedalboard.that is until i get bored with it. but the one pedal that just gets new sounds everytime i play it is my ibanez ton-loke chorus/flanger man i think i have made up about 200 differnt new effects,everything from ring modulatr sounds to weird sounds ppl that i let use it say **** man that thing sounds like im pickin up some aliens talking it is a crazy pedal believe me and go try one for your guys self
