Praising the Rat Re: still goin clean

["Timothy Mungenast" <mungenast@earthlink.net>]

I dunno...if I could only have 2 pedals, and they couldn't be my vintage
thingies, then it'd be my '85 Rat and my 4-second looper.
One of my friends, who sometimes goes through 2 big pedalboards AND a rack,
says "my chain is the Rat and everything else."
The Rat is hard to beat for Fripp and Mahavishnu sounds, which are textures
that I find useful in my soloing.
Having said that, I keep rotating the fx boxes I use so that I don't depend
on any one bit of gear too heavily.
But hey, different strokes, yes?
Yours in Sound,
Tim
