Joe Satriani is one of the reasons so many of us picked up a guitar in the first place.
I could absolutely gig with this rig. The Vox, CE-2, DD-3, and Marshall? No problem.
That DS-1 though? That's where I'm making a substitution. 😄
Nothing against it—it's a classic. It's just not the flavor I'm reaching for these days. Give me a good transparent overdrive, a Bluesbreaker-style pedal, or a Klon-type circuit and I'm a happy camper.
What about you?
Which pedal are you keeping, and which one are you replacing?

🎸 Being a musician is easy...
Until you're the songwriter, performer, booking agent, social media manager, sound engineer, accountant, marketer, roadie, merchandise department, customer service rep, and therapist for the rest of the band. 😆
But somehow we'd still rather do this than almost anything else.
Who else can relate?

Boss: "I'll double your pay."
Friends: "Come hang out."
Me: "Sorry... my baby's waiting at home." 🎸
Guitar players understand.

I've tried a bunch of things with a GE-7 over the years, but I keep coming back to the simplest use: a mid boost into a Marshall.
A little bump in the mids, a touch of level, and suddenly the guitar sits right where it should in the mix. The solo gets louder, cuts through better, and doesn't need a bunch of extra gain.
That's the beauty of an EQ pedal—it can do a hundred tricks, but sometimes one simple setting is all you need.
How do you use your GE-7?
🎸 Solo boost?
🎸 Mid boost?
🎸 Tone shaping?
🎸 Fake single-coil tones?
🎸 Something else?

Could you gig with Chuck Berry's 1958 rig?
Honestly...yes.
No overdrive.
No delay.
No chorus.
No presets.
No MIDI.
No backup rig.
Just a hollow-body guitar, a cable, a tweed amp, and your right hand doing all the heavy lifting.
Would it cover every modern gig? Probably not.
Would it force you to become a better player? Absolutely.
How long could you survive with this setup before you started reaching for pedals?

Delay before reverb for me every time.
The repeats get washed into the same space, which feels more natural and amp-like. Reverb into delay can be cool for ambient textures, but for most blues, rock, worship, and everyday gigging, I still prefer delay → reverb.
What about you? Are you Team Delay → Reverb or Team Reverb → Delay?
