    I believe 62 strat gigs with one.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    hello. yes i do gig with it.


    now, i dont THINK i use it correctly. but whos to say how you use a pedal. for me, i put it before my distortion, right after my wah. just what sounds best for me. i use a 62strat reissue, and a gibson sg. whenever i am using the strat, i ALWAYS have it on. it thickens it up, rounds it out, beafs it up, cleans it up...etc...boosts it nicely. i wont use the strat without it. clean or dirty. with the sg, i dont have it on. too much feedback, actually takes away from the beefiness of the gibson. output is way toooo much. but sometimes i do use it as a boost for any lead work, and it sounds absolutely beautiful with clean tone on both guitars.

    i like the pedal. its simple. it does its job. now i havent used any other comrpession/sustainers...

    but i like it.

    that's how I use my compressor too. Always on with the strat.

    I use it the same way and I get mixed results depending on what pedals are on or off.

    I just bought one used on Ebay for $45.
    Im looking forward to check it out.

    My current pedals now in this order are

    Boss Delay, Tube Screamer, Distortion, MXR Phase 90 and Wah.

    I guess send it before the tube screamer?

    62strat,
    what do you have your dials set to? Is it one of the more vintage boss ones or the latest model?
    Those who dance are called insane by those who dont hear the music
