100% analog AND I still jerk off manually.
Are there people here who still just mainly want all analog guitar stuff?

Count me in for analog for sure. I could cry thinking of all the records and tapes (and stereos) that have been lost to the ages - all the good stuff!!
Digital's cool too, for sure. I love my cube amp and the Boss HM pedal is the greatest pedal of all time so there's that, but it's just not the same. The only surviving cassette tapes I've got are a well worn copy of Stained Class and a near-mint (in original cassette holder) copy of Ynwie's Trilogy.

I prefer analog when I can use it. The reality in 2026 is that a lot of venues are now requiring you to go direct. And despite our grand desire to be rock stars, we work in the liquor sales business. I don't like it, but that seems to be the trend.

After playing many hundreds of shows I've never seen a venue here in TX that required that. If a venue said "we're all DI here" I would tell them "great, just let me grab my tampon I mean modeler from the car" and then I'd go out to the bluesmobile and leave after dumping my ashtray and garbage into their parking lot. No compliance is the only option.

If you prefer analog gear that's cool, but I dunno why there's a need to denigrate people who use digital gear for whatever reasons.
I use both. Just depends.

Maybe it comes off as somewhat denigrating since I implied modelers are akin to tampons but it was meant to be a joke. I don't actually care how someone decides to play their instrument or if they will comply with a silent stage, that's their business. It's just a killjoy way of doing things in my view and if that's my only option then I finally have an excuse to quit gigging which would actually be kinda nice. "How come you quit?" "Cuz I didn't want to plug into a tampon".

A new DIY spring tank pedal just came out. Thinking I might go with that instead of the DIY digital verb kit I have yet to build.

I don't like a footswitch meant for a spring reverb to say "ignite". It should say "Verb".A new DIY spring tank pedal just came out. Thinking I might go with that instead of the DIY digital verb kit I have yet to build.

@7704A That's a pretty sweet lookin unit, toggel count checks out, thanks for the link. I wonder what @griff10672 would charge for assembly? He is the analog master of ceremonies.

I'm thinking maybe "Sproing!" or just "
." "Ignite" is for the vibrator add-on that makes the tank sound like it's exploding.

I've got some early 90's issues of Swank magazine if you're interested. Definitely NOT in NOS condition. Let's just call them "well loved".
