I used to buy a lot of pedals and got a lot of joy from doing it - experimenting with different boutique companies and building new pedalboards. Picking up a pedal here and there also temporarily relieved the GAS pains that would otherwise have led to much more expensive guitar or amp purchases. Since buying my FX8 a few months ago, I haven't bought a single pedal of any kind. I've gone cold turkey. There's just been no reason to do so. But I get sad every now and then because of the joy the new stompboxes would bring me. I explained the dilemma to my wife and my 12 year old daughter must have overheard. This past weekend the two of us were at Chicago Music Exchange. I just needed a few cables and other little things. She was looking at the enormous selection of pedals at the counter and then looks up at me and says..."Dad, you really should sue that company who made your new pedalboard for making you so sad." I thought it was adorable.
