Any particular effects you like to use? Delay? Echo? Reverb? Distortion? Chorus? etc...I'm thinking about building my own effects "box". |
I took it to a luthier about 15 years ago, but the guy advised me to just leave it as it was. The bridge cannot be lowered enough to make much difference. So I do use it just to play open chords & up to about the first half-dozen frets. I also tune it down a full step to keep the tension on the neck at a minimum. It has marvelous tone, as you might imagine.
My fav effects are reverb, chorus, overdrive, and occasionaly a little distortion. Sometimes a wah pedal. I used to use a lot more distortion, but got tired of it, and prefer a more clean sound now.
