I wouldn't go that far, you can play perfectly well without any effects (maybe with the exception of a tuner. The whole "i dont need a tuner, i have perfect pitch" thing makes the sound engineer in me want to scream. But i don't really want to get into that conversation), a compressor is just a tool to help shape your sound into what you want it to be.[/quote]
thanks for response. I use effects but have not really focused on a set chain.
Boss DS2, PS3, OC3, ED sea machine, EH bassballs, flanger hoax & EH - 5000 ring mod, Dwarfcraft spectacular aenima, DOD fx65 chorus. I basically play a muddy hell of a noise but if a compressor will make it sound like a more focused noise then viva la compressor. I run this through an ashdown cab and have OK eq setting variety on that, ish.
