Yeah, I’m a little late with this. I’ve had a rough start to the year, and I’ll leave it at that.
Despite not blogging for months, I have been playing guitar … and enjoying a couple of new pedals that arrived over the festive season. Together, I’ve found them to be especially inspiring, and they’ve become my preferred signal chain for my Silver Sky.
