No-no!! Please rant away!! Tube screamer sounds pretty cool.........my buddy had an ancient Echoplex which was really cool..........he loved to imitate David Gilmour ......which sounds pretty close to a delay pedal............the one pedal I do have.......and may still work (needs a battery I'm certain!) is a Univox Wah-wah pedal..........so this in conjunction should cast away some of the boredom with basic (yet classic and good sounding) straight amp playing!! Thanks, Billy!!
