Things evolve I suppose, but right now I am mostly playing with these two rigs: 1. Electric: Thorn Jr 90 --> EB volume pedal --> Route 66 --> Swart AST w/ Trem & Verb 2. Acoustic: Anderson Crowdster --> TC Helicon Harmony G -- Bose L1 Compact And I am getting the tones I love. The electric setup gives me great cleans, but also beautiful OD tones very reminiscent, to my ear, of some of the Knopfler tones I love so much. I sometimes switch the Thorn for the Crook T or the Lentz T, based on tone requirements. The Acoustic rig is perfect for what I do, i,e, the pseudo singer/songwriter deal, and the Crowdster and the Bose play very nicely with each other. I'm a happy mojo  |

First post. Can't wait to get involved here.
I love the simplicity. The only thing I would add to the electric rig would be a delay of some sort.

Welcome! I'd like to have a delay, when I noticed that when I have one, I spend way too much time tweakin' knobs... |

I have a delay effect built in to one of my amps, and ok, being built in doesn't allow much control over the effect, but what I was wondering is this: When is a delay effect most useful? I have never found it a very attractive effect and I thought perhaps that was simply due to my lack of experience with effects. However an experienced guitarist friend of mine uses delay most of the time when playing electric Blues/Rock and I just never seem to like the result. Why is delay such a popular effect?
If I could only ever have 1 effect it would be a reverb pedal. In fact I quite fancy the Line 6 Tonecore Verbzilla, now that my #1 amp doesn't have any effects at all and did I mention that it sounds amazing? Do I need to have my overdrive/distortion pedals anymore? Possibly not but I'll hang on to them just for the fun of twiddling the knobs ;D

Glad you like it MrB |

Replace that Rt66 with my Wampler modded SD1 and add a delay, Compressor, and EP Booster and I'm a happy RK.
At least I think I would be. Maybe you should send me the rig to check out and I'll get back with you as quick as I can with a reply. PM for my address. ;D
