I can play guitar, bass, keyboard, and a little bit on the drums. I only own a guitar at the moment though. My current guitar setup is an Epiphone Les Paul running into my pedalboard which consists of a Digitech Whammy, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, and a Digitech Bad Monkey, which runs into my crappy little Marshall MG15CDR amp. I plan on getting a new guitar and amp soon, and possibly selling my Big Muff and Bad Monkey to get a Jekyll and Hyde Overdrive/Distortion pedal. I think I'm either going to get a mid-end Gretsch or an Epiphone Dot or Riviera and a Epiphone Valve Junior Tube Stack or a Fender Blues Junior. I'd also love to get a Moog Little Phatty but I'm broke, lol.

What's the Big Muff like, I've been looking at them for a while now...

I like it. It's fuzz, wrapped in fuzz, and some more fuzz, lol. It can kinda sound like shit if it's not EQ'd right. I have the Russian model, it's a little more aggressive and a little more bassy. I kinda wished I would've gotten the American model though (9V Output, brighter tone). The thing is built like a tank though, but the soldering on mine must not be great because it likes to short out and give me monster changes in volume if i don't have the knobs turned correctly. I truly only bought one because Jack White uses one a lot, but now I use it for more than that. It makes a really good rock distortion and a good second for me. I use my Digitech Bad Monkey for my base overdrive and I like it a lot as well. When I put the two together it sounds really good. I don't really like the tone it gives on it's own sometimes, it just seems really dry, but with my Bad Monkey in front of it in my chain it really brightens it up and gives it more of a voice.
