Effects pedals are a key element toward the overall sound of a guitarist. By this I mean, if you have a pedal-board equiped with multiple effects such as an Overdrive pedal, a Wah-Wah pedal, a Compressor, a Chorus pedal, a Flanger, a Phase Shifter, a Distortion pedal, a Digital Echo pedal, or a Volume pedal to name a few, you can mimic just about any sound from any album/CD. Also available are combination pedalboards with all-in-one effects such as the POD xt-LIVE by LINE 6.
I chose the Pedaltrain pedal-board system as the basis for my effects pedals. I found it to be the most versatile system available and the easiest to assemble the pedals on.

and the BOSS BF-3 Flanger Pedal.
Flanger Pedal for Guitar and Bass with Momentary Mode, Tap Tempo, and Ultra and Gain/Pan Modes The Boss BF-3 flanger pedal lets guitarists and bassists apply big stereo flanging effects to their rigs easily, at a very affordable price! This stompbox fits your pedalboard and gives you the great sound of the venerable BF-2 while adding two new modes plus tap-tempo and momentary flange.
If you stopped by for my review of the ‘Playground Etiquette’ show at The Whiskey in Annapolis last night, please accept my apologies. Sometimes, try as I might to prevent it, my day time life impacts my life as a musician. This was one of those times, and I was not able to make the show. Next time!
Thanks for reading! I am off to do some shredding, which I consider the perfect way to shake off the debris of the day. Have a good one, and I’ll be back with more for you soon.
Don’t forget to hug your kids. ~ Bob
