i do have a wah pedal, but the one that made it to the list wasn’t a jim dunlop but one from jen, an italian company which was one of the first companies that made them in the late 60’s / early 70’s.
the list aside, this ish is a recommended read as there are further articles regarding the stomp-box – 51 great FX moments gives an account of the effects used in some of rock’s well-loved tunes and perfect FX set-ups advises on ideal combinations of pedals for different genres. there’s also an interview with roger mayer, the effects guru that designed effects for the likes of jimi hendrix and jimmy page, and pete cornish, the ex-ministry of defense engineer who is the UK’s answer to bob bradshaw.
i think this issue is one i’d keep for future reference, rather than chucking it in the bin at the end of the month.

Damn, sold my vox tone bender fuzz 5 years ago. It was a crappy used one though. Thank god for ebay.
Jen, saw them lying around but never tried them.
Dude…
What happened to things like…
Fingers –> Guitar –> Cable –> Amp… ???
Stick it to the man, man!
that still holds true, but you won’t tell that to jonny greenwood would ya?
😉
just to add, i think the usage is effects is perfectly ok (can you imagine what radiohead would sound like if they just used a cable and an amp).
it’s when you lose sight of what guitar playing is all about by thinking about peripherals first without sorting out the basics (like strumming clean tones properly), you just won’t get the tones that you want.
Fingers –>Gtr—>Morley ABY –> Fender
—>Marshall
jangan lupa Morley ABY kau.
Aku bagitau dia (Jonny) hari tu, masa kitorang lepak kedai mamak sama2, and then dia kata in his stuck-up British accent, “Yeah, I think you’re right. Well, I’ll talk to Thom and we’ll try and make a bloose album next. Cheers, mate.”
AhaHAhahahAA… I have nothing against effects lah. I used to love them. Had quite a lot too. And like you said, it depends on the style and the need for it in certain musical contexts. I can imagine Radiohead without too many effects. They’d be playing Creep every night. That’s dreadful.
