another G.A.S. attack

(G.A.S.= guitar addiction syndrome)

It struck again... I was starting to think about the upcoming performances of Chaos Theory in Minnesota next month and it hit me. I NEED MORE GEAR. Today's remedy? A Keeley Bypass Looper (nicknamed "The Japanese Apartment"). The stuff this box does is so mundane and boring that I can't bear to explain it to you -- suffice to say it'll make my tone much more pure. The clean stuff will have more sparkle, and the distorted stuff will be way, WAY nastier. Uh-huh. Good times.

Fortunately it's not very expensive, and Robert Keeley makes the best stompboxes on Earth. His "Twilight Zone" modifications to my stock Boss Metal Zone pedal made all the difference in the world. It can make a crummy Peavey practice amp sound like a wall of Mesa-Boogie Dual-Rectifiers set ablaze! Plus it's super Q-U-I-E-T...

lol...what's that all about Newman... Anyway...That would beAWESOME, to have a Peavy practice amp (which really are CRAPPY!) sounding like a Mesa...Maybe I should refer my cousin to you, as he is a good guitarist, (probably not as much your style, but he's still good.)And I'm sure he would love to have a pedal that seems to ignite that metal zone pedal.
