kaygraphic What sort of signal processors do you use live and what kind of pick ups do you prefer? Also, thank you for all the inspiring sounds!

buttholesurfers_ These days I play a John Cruz Stratocaster with noiseless pickups that were custom-wound by John himself. I have an old Ibanez 808 Tube Screamer, a Boss DD3 delay, a Boss pitch-shifting pedal, a Boss chorus pedal, and a "Dirty Little Secret" distortion pedal. I'm exploring Earthquaker pedals now, they have a new one called a "Data Corrupter" (I think), and it is really fun
