I was just pondering an issue that has beset me for most of my musical career.
We are so spoiled with technology that often this embarrassment of riches will impede
our creativity. I've always been sort of a "more is more" type of musician. I love effects, and my rig has gradually progressed over time. I went from a sliver face Fender Twin with a modest pedalboard, to a Mesa Mark 5 with a rack of effects and a Midi switching system. Sometimes having a fuzz pedal into a clean amp can give me all I need. Since I "downsized" to the AX8 (I still have my old rig) I have been battling my instincts and am constantaly saying to myself, keep it simple! I was wondering how the community here feels about such things. What suggestions can you give for keeping it simple?
