Description While my getting a respectable amp is still in the works, I have enough effects now to take down the better part of Neo China! Previous recordings haven't utilized them due to time constraints and the fact that I was still wrestling with settings, but these make my recordings a LOT tighter, and enable a lot more guitar-wise.

[Geeky guitar lingo ahead]

From right to left:
-Digitech RP200 Effects Processor. Truth be told, the distortion on this thing is crap, but it makes up for it in the choruses, reverbs and whammy alone. Takes some skill to use simply due to the overwhelming number of settings. I mean seriously. Christ.

-Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. Looped once through the clean signal and again through distortion, this thing gives peaceful silence in between notes where there would normally be squealing, hissing, popping, locking and dropping it. A handy little tool with very responsive controls.

-Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. What a great distortion pedal. At first I thought it was crap, but I realized that fiddling with the four-knob EQ (the wide and skinny parts of the two middle knobs) gives you a lot more kick if you're smart with it. I loop it through the noise suppressor, but that does nothing to lessen its powerful punch. Easily my favorite pedal.

-Dunlop Cry Baby Wah. Just a simple, ordinary, everyday, standard, run-of-the-mill, meat-and-potatoes wah. Makes the thing go from bass to treble really really quick, causing those funky "wah!" and "awhoh" sounds you hear in funk and 70's porn/cop film music. Simple. As. Hell. I love it, and it's fun to be a jackoff with it.
