What has 142 teeth and...

[DrSlow]

Just kidding.

Hi there, I'm John, but my PSN is DrSlow so people on the internet call me that. Figured I'd just use that here so as not to confuse myself.

I'm 35 years old and I'll have 31 pedals when my Timmy gets here in the next couple days. Obviously there are some issues there, but based on some of the boards I've seen on here, I'm not nearly as disturbed as some of you.... :P

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and hopefully learn some new things from you guys.

4 more away from acting your age with pedals!

Enjoy the site.

They better all be Boooteek pedals or you will have problems.........:D

Just kidding. Welcome!

What kind of guitars do you have? Music/influences?

[DrSlow]

1987 Heritage H160 - Red. This is a weird guitar I've had for 10+ years and still haven't quite got the hang of yet.

I like lots of different music, but I play mostly experimental stuff these days. Got a group of guys that all happen to be into Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits....gotta take advantage when the opportunity presents itself; however, deep down inside, I want to be Keith Richards.

Hey John. I'm just down the road in Binghamton. Welcome.

I lived in B-town right after college....used to play Talking Heads covers at a dive bar in Endicott called TNT (True North Tavern I think).

Wow...quite a lot of pedals haha...i mean i'm only 20...but the only pedal i have is a Boss Chromatic tuner haha...interestingly enough i seem to get the exact tone i want with just my guitar and amp...lucky me huh? haha...would kill for a fuzz and a wah though...nice setup. Maybe i'll have something similar in 15 years hehe...

[DrSlow]

At 20 I didn't even have an amp yet...

[Nelson89]

wow...looks like i'm ahead then!...i got my first amp at about 18 though...didn't move to electric guitar until a few years into my acoustic playing.

[DrSlow]

Just remember, you don't really need pedals and they sound different when different people play them so reviews are like 80% useless. With that said, pedals are awesome and I love them all.
