I see a lot of power supplies out for pedals promising isolated power. However, with a lot of the pedals I own I have individual wall warts for any way. Do you guys feel strongly that a pedal power supply from one of these makers is strictly better than a simple surge protector?

Who's top dog in your book of the plectrum world?

I'm looking at getting a compact looper on my board. I have heard good things about the Boss RC-3, but I'm wondering if it really lives up to the hype. Also, is there another favorite out there?

I have an eBow now that I got for a steal. While I have found some cool uses for it, I fell as though there is plenty of potential that I'm just not unlocking. Does anyone have any tricks they'd care to share?

I saw a video of John Gomm playing passion flower on YouTube, and it blew my mind. I'm wondering if you guys have any tips or know of a resource to learn these types of percussion techniques to be used simultaneously while playing melodic lines.

I'm a fan of fuzz, phaser, and filters myself. What do you find yourself using?

I find that I tend to use the neck pickup, or some middle position mostly. All single Strats, SGs with coil splitting humbuckers, teles, minibuckers, pretty much all of them don't get much bridge pickup love from me. Wondering what you use.

Heard an RV-5 the other day, and I fell in love again. But, do I get it, the Big Sky, the Trinity, the Supernatural, the Wet, or some mystery mod-verb? Really, just curious to see what your favorite is.

I'm looking at picking up an ethos clean when it comes out. I don't really go for the "always on" compressor ideas, but I think for certain ballad type songs where I need to ring out chords for the verses one could be useful. For those who use the clean channel of the ethos, do you find that the...

I've had a Gerlitz Revelator, which had a stereo FX Loop and the ability to drive two cabinets in true stereo. It was my first real experience with FX loops, and I loved what I could do with it. Since then, I've only found Diezel Amps that can do this, and I'm wondering why more companies don't...

I've seen a lot of cats use these two in conjunction going direct. I'm pretty intrigued myself. However, has anyone just put a C.A.B. in the FX loop of the Ethos Amp and used it as a power amp simulator only with a real speaker cabinet from the Ethos with good results? I'd love to hear your...

I've been using the line out on the C.A.B. itself to drive my signal to the board, and it works flawlessly. However, I'm wanting to start experimenting with putting my delay and reverb after the C.A.B. What have you guys found that worked well at the end of your chain to get the signal to the...

Looking at picking up an old Peterson Strobostomp2 to have a D.I. with a mute and tuner function. Before I pull the trigger on one, does anyone know of a different product with these features? Thanks

Fairly new to IRs, and wondering where you guys get yours. Free and paid suggestions are welcome, but I'm leaning towards free options since I'm coming into this brand new. Thanks guys!

So I had an idea last night, that I sadly can't try out right now, because I'm in the middle of moving and my gear is packed up haha. I run a direct rig using the Torpedo C.A.B., and have loved the sound for about a year now. I have been thinking about ways to run a wet/dry rig, where I split...
