Why is it that guitar players can never go two measures without using distortion? Its as if they think there music will lack substance and meaning without it. Not that I don't like distortion, I'm just saying. Just a thought.
Actually,its not that easy to just plug into a distortion...tho the first impression is that the intonation becomes a less worry,there are more to it.
The real nightmare for a lot of guitarist that I know is when we "the stringed" ones :) plug in one of their processors ;)
