Previously I only used them at home & never live. That was until I saw this guy Scott Murawski (Max Creek band) who really smokes playing his Languedoc performing with Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead drummer) and he was playing aHis tone wasn't "bad", but it was odd enough for me to go check out his rig. So I had a major revelation that night. He didn't bother trying to sound like Jerry at all andOf course playing a Languedoc helped i imagine.Of course you care. It's your inspiration when your playing too, right?So now I also believe this is another reason why people don't like to use effects. They are complicated to make sound good in a live band setting.At your next gig go around and ask peopleand 98% of the time the people at your show don't know the difference between trem or flanger.lol
