I can't wait until Chank hits 100k posts.

Maybe that's not what happened, but it's how I read it. For what it's worth, I don't really do any crazy shit with pedals or look for crazy sounds. I write songs on a guitar and add effects later. So y'all are in a different realm than me with that stuff.

Bike backwards and you get a reverse delay.

Great thread. I've always been fascinated by the resistance to decay/degradation in the art world. Intuitively we understand that everything dies, but we want to maintain some things in an arbitrary "perfect" state. We're propping up Fallingwater's terrace, restoring paintings, etc. and it's not just art, there are those that want to keep forests the same way they were found by certain persons at a certain time (though they were once an ocean floor, under glaciers and have burned countless times, and we'll avoid the climate change talk here for now)- point is, stuff changes, but we want art to be the same. And I get it. I want to hear September Gurls the same way every time.
Lately, with the help of some enlightened builders, and ya'll, Im coming around to the idea that it's good that I *can't* get the same sound from a pedal each time. That a loop isn't perfect. It's nice to get away from those strictures.
A good read on this below (if I can wrangle a photo out of this phone into this little box). The dust jacket is bubble wrap. Brill.
Edit for clarification re: climate so as to not invite/incite flames (no heat pun intended)
