Some might think I've joined a 'Roman cult' if I do thatboswell wrote:Self flagellate yourself!
Best not, eh?Anyway... Could it be that many guitarists don't think of a touch of reverb, delay or compression as 'using FX'? Perhaps they think of pitch shifters or chorus/flanging/phasing etc as effects proper?

Ah, now surely that's the problem. One man's fx is another man's 'atmosphere' or 'spaceyness'....self flagellation indeed. 
I think you have a point, bit like people who sneer about recreational drug users yet they drink coffee, alcohol and smoke tobacco.Big Bad Bill wrote:Some might think I've joined a 'Roman cult' if I do thatboswell wrote:Self flagellate yourself!

Self flagellation is also probably classed as both drug and an effect.
Virtuostic abilities of Steve Vai, ok, ya it's an open forum, doesnt make you safe w/ technical questions.Well, I can't think of a more appropriate time for this.

Last weekend I meet the mythical old man Alvin Lee 
During our conversation, don't know why I remembered this thread, so I have asked him if he uses effects and he said NO, it's only Rock'n'Roll Rock Like a Man 
Late at the concert I saw him using the harmonica like a slide and with the always does, passing the microphone suport on the fret...
So, does it counts as an effect?

Yeah, that's right
You know that he brought here all his family??? Yeah, son, brother, , brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, etc etc etc
I was tempted to ask if the Barnes clã were all there
But I don't dare to ask Seraphim -

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN!
I know, in the 80's he used to use a lot of effects... and still nowadays he uses a little delay here and there... but most of time he runs his guitar completely dry through the Marshall and a boost pedal, live and in studio.
