And all the angel's joined the Chorus. The Rocktron DeepBlue Chorus, that is.

It's been a couple of days since I posted, and I still haven't posted any pictures yet. I have had a hard time finding a suitcase for my make-shift pedal board, and I accidentally slept through guitar class. In other news, I now have three pedals... :)

The pedal I added today is a Roctron DeepBlue Chorus. It's pretty, and it sounds pretty. In fact, 4 out of 5 dentists approve of this pedal, which is saying someting, because only 3 of them know anything about guitar. The other 2 are MTV watching corporate sell-outs with no souls and who listen to Green Day and think they are such musically intelligent people but don't know their children regret their upbringing because of all the horrible music they've had to listen to growing up...

Anyways, I haven't added the pedal to the others yet because I am at a location in which they are not present. I won't be able to get home till about 4:00 or 5:00 because I already made commitments to do things for a friend. This is why I miss being a loner... So I'm going to plug everything in today and choose one song I really want to learn that encorporates this pedal (or all of them) and just practice until I get it down, or my fingers bleed. Whichever comes first.

I know there are other, better chorus pedals out there, but I chose this one specifically because it had the sound I wanted. Period. I've tried others, listened to others via Youtube, and when it was all said and done this pedal just hit the sound I've been looking for out of a Chorus pedal. It fills out my tone a little bit more but it stills keeps a really tight guitar sound. I haven't tried it in conjunction with the other pedals, but it definitely adds to what I hope I achieve with my sound. My only concern is that my guitar doesn't play clean very well. It only plays the heavier, dirty stuff. It may be a while until I get a guitar that can really utilize this pedal in the way I'd like, I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out to get a unique sound out of my current set-up with just a little bit of creativity and patience.
