I read about guys with 3 envelope filters or 4 distortion pedals on their board, and it got me thinking: Each of these pedals can do multiple things, create several sounds effects. Take the MXR Envelope filter - - I can get several fun sounds out of it, but in a gig situation I'm not going to stoop over and dial in my "other" sound -- I'm going to want *two* of these pedals, each set differently. And I'm seriously considering doing that... But two identical pedals? Will I be blazing a trail here, or is this common?

One muff is very bassy with smooth fuzz while another has some insane buzzy fuzz going. Then I started using my BBM as a clean blended dirt pedal with the other muffs doing muff like things!
I'm a bit of a fuzz junkie.....

But I can see this being a good idea, definitely.

That's what banter and feedback are for.  |
