Are there any pedals that do that sustainer thing?
Never mind.
The Digitech Freq-out! Oh, Yeah!
I've been playing 50+ years and I wouldn't feel welcome in a jam with that statement. Not because I couldn't keep up but because I wouldn't want to. Many years ago, when I was just learning an older...

I've enjoyed the stories of the pets and their names that have been posted thus far, and especially liked seeing the pictures. We mandolin enthusiasts sure have some great looking pets with...
