Nah.
But it IS wrong to prefer a pedal just because someone else, not in your band, prefers it.

But anyway, as long as we're all here... here:

I also like the Grunge pedal. I don't use it for anything other than noodling around, but I like it.

I believe I remember I read that Bootsy was using one at some point. Mixed with like 93 other effects, but still.

Yes it's fine. No slapping here. You're allowed to play whatever you want.

Daniel, the effects forum and I would like to have a talk with you.

You see Daniel, we're just a little confused. We thought we had raised you to follow in our footsteps. You know when you sold your big board and half your effects...well it just broke Tayste's heart. Now we see you using common Digitech effects? It isn't even handmade Daniel...I thought we had raised you to be an elite smug bastard. Didn't that Summer with your Uncle Toasted teach you anything? Daniel, you can't be using these trash effects, it just makes our whole forum look bad. I want you to use effects that no one has ever heard of, that only 1 was produced, then the creator was shot.

I'm just disappointed....I'm not angry, but it's sad to see our children acting so badly.





Dear god, I am bored.
