I’ve been wrestling with this for years. Sometimes I feel like my fingers are part of the pedalboard with analog effects, like the signal flows through me. But digital boards are so convenient, I can dial in anything without carrying a truckload of gear. Does anyone else get that sense of connection or do you find the sound and versatility of digital wins every time?

All these shred guys doing mosquito vibrato like it’s sexy. It ain’t. Like fuck you Zakk Wylde
