You Know You're an FX Junkie When....

I carry pictures of my settings in my phone. Does that count??:hmm:

I do that too. And every time I swap out a pedal or change my board around, new picture. lol

When you buy an entire 3 CD live album to be able to study the bass effects on one song.

Ooo... Which album and what song/effect(s)? What should I be checking out? (I don't see anything wrong with this one)

When you spend so much time reading up on pedals (which you can't afford) that you know more about them than someone that owns them when you don't even have them for yourself

Or how about when you go into Guitar Center to try to purchase one of those pedals and they look at you and say, "uh, what pedal?" (I'm not talking about Zvex or Dr. Scientist or anything, either... They carry MXR and didn't have a clue about the new MXR Bass Octave Deluxe until I told them about it, two months after it had been announced) :rollno:

You bring 1 bass, 1 amp, 1 cabinet, and no spare strings to gigs, but make CERTAIN that you have two dirt boxes on your board just in case one would die in the middle of a set.
