"The Chain Gang" - amps, pedals, gear

There will be some posts that will cover topics besides guitars, concerning the gear guitarists like to spend so much time with (instead of practising their instrument...).

It will cover stuff I tend to forget like gear specs, signal chains, settings etc. so I don't have to look things up everytime details might escape me.

I don't intend to give advice by posting my personal preferences - this is no guide to achive the "ultimate guitar tone", no "buyer's guide" or tutorial.
It's just what works for me - for my purposes, for my combinations of gear, for my budget, for my ideas... please keep that in mind while reading (whilst probably shaking your head over my foolishness...).

I will say this though: There is a considerable amount of research and reasoning behind the decisions I make and if you are interested in the thought process, feel free to ask or kindly provide your own point of view.

Regards, Bart Bowles.
