The Strymon power supplies intrigue me.

 

Zuma will change your pedal life, and I mean that.  Lots of the problems we have are not the pedals or the cables or the beer signs or the fridges, it's the power supply.  If my Zuma broke tomorrow I would Overnight another one, no matter what it costs.  It's expensive I know, but worth every penny.

True Story! 

Those one spots are tempting cuz they are cheap... but they aint worth the trouble they'll cause.

I only use it for measuring relief.

I have a capo and have never used it.  I finally found a use for mine after watching a video.  On the Riviera and the Casino, I always loose the tail bridge strings when changing them and it gets frustrating trying to hold everything in place while tightening the tunning key.  The video suggested placing a capo on the string once you got it tight on the tail piece.  I thought, Now why haven't I ever thought of that before?

Good idea! 

I've never used a capo on electric guitar. I have a new unopened one that wont get used until I need an acoustic accompaniment.

My usual signal chain, in order, on the pedal board, with the frequency of use at any given live gig:

Line 6 wireless, typically. I'm not adverse to guitar cords though. 

Tuner (Often)
Compressor (20% of the time)
Talk Box (Two or three songs, max)
Distortion ( 50% of the time)
Phase Shifter (10% of the time)
Mel 9 ( One or two songs, max)

Reverb is in the amp. (Amps)

There once was a Forumite named Thundergod who posted this handy graphic.  I say play around and see what gives you the sound in your head!

 

I remember, Thundergod.  From Ecuador.  He was cool.

Those were some tumultuous times on the forum.

They were indeed.  Seems a bit calmer here these days.

I thought so too, I have 3 guitars electric guitars I have that problem with and it should;d help with the 12 string acoustic also.
