Also, once you have the pedals you want loaded in, technically there's no need to connect the app after that. Just turn on and go!

Having spent time with the pedal, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. No Roland Cloud subscription needed (though you do need to register to use the app, all of which is free), additional pedals will be available for a one-time fee (and are optional), and is a good swiss-army-knife pedal.

I just reviewed the Boss Sy-1 synthesizer pedal for Equipboard. Great think about it is that it tracks notes with the guitar’s pickups. Not entirely MIDI, but a bit of a gateway without hassle.

Speaking of Peavey, the Josh Homme Decade Too amp is quite fun!

Boss pedals are one of the only things that will survive a nuclear apocalypse

Because your tuner has a buffer, best to put the fuzz first in the chain. If you switch the buffer off on the tuner, you might get away with the fuzz after. Typical rule of thumb for fuzz is that it wants to see the guitar first and nothing else.

I have the non-MIDI version and love it!

Hi! Guitarist and guitar teacher here! Really cool sound! What’s the pedal?

Caveat: I come from a DIY background.

If from the side of the stage, quite a bit. If a CD cost $5 to manufacture and sold for $20, it’s $15 in profit there.

Let’s not forget that Spotify also demonetized most of its catalog. If you have less than 1,000 plays, no money for that song.
