Absolutely. I have purchased numerous effects units over the years (Zoom, Boss, Art, TC Electronics, etc, etc)... always the next greatest thing. Today I go straight into the amp other than an ISP Decimator pedal that kills noise (and is the best hush pedal/unit out there IMO). All I need is clean and crunch sounds that I can change with the amp itself. The amps these days are so "hot" that they can pretty much do it for ya. All I buy nowadays is new tubes and strings.Originally Posted by registerthis
