My Guitar Effects Rig

The standard guitar effects rack based on my experience is actually dependent on the user ‘s choice or preferences but the basic guitar effects that one should have are as follows: Distortion, Wah Pedal, delay, Chorus, flanger, phaser, uni-vibe, compressor, and autowah…my guitar effects pedals that I have collected in the past few years is as follows…

1. 1980’s Classic DOD overdrive Pre-amp 250 (U.S.A.)
2. 1980’s Classic Boss Heavy Metal HM-2 Distortion – (Japan)
3. 1990’s Aria AFL-1 Flanger (Japan)
4. 1990’s Boss DS-2 Distortion (Taiwan)
5. 2005 Behringer Ultra Chorus (China)
6. 2007 Ibanez PM7 Phase Modulator (Taiwan)

The latest acquisition is no. 6 a Phase modulator...I would have preferred to buy a Phaser or Phase Shifter from Boss but they were out of stock so I guess the Ibanez will do for now...I've really trying to find the time for me to delve more on my original interest...which is to play music...or be in a band....If I had not been able to finish College...I would have joined a show band rathen than took the other road of industrial psychology...I guess we all have choices to make...it makes me ponder at times how my life would have turned out if I had a musical career...or have worked clubs...or hotels...who knows...or I could have made music or recordings with a band...or become a composer or lyricist....hmm...there would have been many unanswered ifs...but the lack of answers would have been more thn the questions....its just the choices we mke...only time will tell if they were the right choices...or the best choices during those time we need to make the choice...
