Playing with pedals

It was recently my birthday and my lovely parents and my lovely girlfriend bought be guitar pedals to mark the occasion. I've never really had a good quality pedal before (I do have a zoom multipedal, but it sounds a bit pants to be honest and we've never used it for either live performances or recordings).

Lizzy got me a CryBaby WahWah pedal and my folks got me a Digitech Whammy. The later was because Jaime and I have decided that our rock E.P. just doesn't have that wall of sound that we wanted. We've determined this to be due to the lack of bass in it. So, we are going to fake bass using the Whammy pedal which is well suited to the task (listen to the 'bass' in Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes for an example).

And the CryBaby was just cause I've always wanted one. And they both kick ass. So expect to hear them demonstrated in our next releases.

Jaime and I were playing with them the other day before we went to see the Simpsons Movie (which also kicks much ass), and we're both very taken with them. It was also great to hear Jaime's new Fender Tele which he got for his birthday.

Suddenly starting to feel like our electric equipment is getting quite pro these days. Odd for me since we've focussed on acoustic stuff for so long.

Only thing we need now is a new soundcard for my computer.

Isn't it all grand?
