it's all coming back to me now...

Things come and go in our lives. Family, friends, guitar effects...huh?

It's all coming back to me now.

Three years ago, right after the lockdowns were lifted, I went to the now-demolished Sam Ash on Route 4. They had a used pedal display case and a purple wah caught my eye. Never heard of this brand (oh but again, how things find me!) so I asked to try it out. I really liked it, so I bought it. And then of course the gods (well, maybe Jimi Hendrix) put another wah pedal back in my life: Ibanez Weeping Demon. So I gave the purple wah to a student, thinking "I don't need this anymore."

Cut to late last year and I order some pedals from this company called Caline through Amazon. Wait...they make this purple wah! Would my student let me have it back? I had to ask, no shame in doing so. He said, "I never used it, so you can take it." BAM! Put the pedal on The Fly (the name I gave my fly rig) and those throaty funky sounds came through my Orange amp with such elegance and coolness!

I still have the Weeping Demon on the Behemoth board but I plan on re-doing that one soon. I have NO intention of parting with the WD pedal but rather might put the Dunlop mini Hendrix wah on there. Unless I become a huge guitar god (YEAH RIGHT), I won't have roadies. So I don't feel like lugging heavy stuff anymore.

I made two demo videos on YouTube so check them out when you wish.
