okay, guys, i've been thinking about this for a long time now. i've been so wanting to upgrade everything that i have, thinking i need to get "pro" gear on every part of my pedalboard.
for example, i want to upgrade my ibanez DE7 delay to the TC electronic vintage delay (or T Rex replica); my small clone chorus to analogman chorus, BOSS digital reverb to T Rex roomate (and etc.)
since money is a huge issue (and my wife is giving me hell about it!), how really does it make you a better player? will people in the audience really can tell the difference between a small clone chorus and an analogman chorus? if recording a demo with a DE7 delay instead of a TC electronic pedal make your demo sound that much worse? does it really make you that much better a player? or is it really all about your ability to play the guitar?
i'm beginning to accept the fact that i'm a poor starving artist and i need to make what i got work for me, and not the other way around and stop losing sleep over wanting to have all the best gear out there! it's tough sometimes when you're playing a gig and see these guys with top-notch gear and i'm showing up with a non-mod TS9 instead of a BB preamp!
i'm so confused
