ahh... now the pedal chain and all the decisions on what to use
will become a long and winding road... keep it as simple as possible (imho).
Basic boost/overdrive.. maybe a delay... then give it a taste.. take it from there.
at least you should have nice cleans available and a good pedal platform.
But yeah it's always nice to kick off everything and have nice cleans
when you want them or need them
I keep it simple - a MFX unit is all. In fact, I gigged for 3 years
with a Zoom 505-II. Too many pedals confuses me and besides i could go
broke :)

Pedals are all too often a crutch for the weak. Few people seem to be
able to discern the line between adding something to the underlying
sound and masking it.
right up your alley.

If you don't have anything coherent to contribute, try and be quiet when
the adults are talking.
