COUGHCOUGHsonicyouthCOUGH.

I must say, I used to think Tom Morello was sort of a genius, but now that I have a Whammy pedal I'm not so convinced. All his sounds are basically made of delay and a Whammy pedal. I still think his solos are pretty nifty, and I think it's cool for such oddball solos to be a part of mainstream music, but I don't think he's all that innovative.

Maybe if he'd invented the Whammy pedal.....
