Distortion Pedal
This may be a silly question, but then again theres no such thing as a silly question. I just started playing guitar and bought a Marshall Amp with a distortion channel. Since my Amp has a distortion setting is there any reason I would want a distortion pedal?

Ed with a Strat?
Looking at the pics from last night's show in Vancouver, it looks like Ed was playing a white Strat. I've never seen him play one before, I wonder if this will be his new favorite guitar for this tour, since he seems to pick a specific model guitar and go with it for an entire tour (Schecter '00, Gibson SG '03, Fender Tele…

Learning guitar...
Hello fellow PJ fans, it's been a long time coming and I finally decided to lay down the money for a nice acoustic guitar. Now that I have the guitar, I do not have the money for any type of lessons. What beginners tutorials/guides do you suggest I use that can be found over the internet (for free)? Thanks, KJ

Question from an electronics simpleton
I've an old pedal and the live socket is the output. In other words, the LED goes on when the output lead is plugged in from the pedal to the DI, etc. Would that make a difference to polarity if I wanted to do away with batteries and buy a 9v adaptor? I don't possess a volt meter, and there's not much spec on this old…

How to overdrive pre-amp?
Forgive me for my stupidity, but I recently bought a Blues jr., and am still getting use to all thie controls (most notably using the Master and Volume knobs effectively) I know the volume knob adjusts the pre-amp gain, but when people say to overdrive the pre-amp for good sounds, what exactly does this entail? Thanks

dumb question: purpose of noise gate pedal
I've read a lot of different reviews and summaries, but I can't get a grasp on what they actually do. everything I've read says they cut down on "unwanted noise" such as feedback. now, what I'm looking for is something that cuts out some of the fuzz while I'm actually playing, not feedback such as in between songs, etc.…

Just bought All My Material...........
For my soundproof music room in my basement. I will have it all delivered on April 8th by Home Depot. I can't wait till I get started. Now I can wail away at all hours of the night and not disturb anyone. I have been researching how to build a proper sound room so I'm hoping that it works as good as I expect.

What are the smaller promoters like in your area?
Are they musicians, as well? Are there many? Do they put gigs on in many venues? Do you as musicians find yourself gigging for a particular promoter or do you like to play where and when you can? I'm just curious, really.

My New "Blackie-ish" Bill Nash Strat!!
Normally I don't like to boast about my gear but the steal I got yesterday was too good not to share. I have always said that I am more of a les paul guy and not much of a strat guy, mainly because I never liked the few strats I owned at one time or another but I went to a friend's vintage guitar store yesterday and came…

Danelectro Pedals
I was looking into pedals and noticed Danelectro has some real inexpensive pedals out there. Are they any good, or are they crap? Kind of hard to get past the goofy food based names too.
