Just another guy, really.
I see post on CL fairly often, where some guy (maybe gal) wants to trade two or more pedals for a tube amp. Sometimes it can get absurd- a half-dozen Boss pedals offered in trade for a Matchless or Dr. Z, etc. but usually the pedals listed are outside my knowledge and experience.
I have come to the point where my favorite rig is nearly pedal-less- Guitar>wah>tube amp. The amps I usually play through are either a SF Deluxe Reverb, a Fender Super Champ XD (which is fading in my eyes/ears,) or my new favorite, an Ampeg J12T. I am thinking of using my pedal tuner again, but it's been a year or two since I last plugged that thing in.
Anyway, is it just me, or are these trades, by and large, just stupid? The only way I think I would do that sort of trade is if the pedals offered were worth about twice what the amp I would be trading off is, and I knew I could flip them, fast. I feel like I have found "my tone," and it is largely pedal-less- I am wondering if some other players are moving in that direction, and trying to trade off their now-unwanted stuff.
