No, no, I didn't. I re-read my post to make sure. I had nothing to say
about the topics of discussion in this nor any other newsgroup. Although
comments are always welcome (this being a discussion forum and all) I
asked no questions about anything. I said nothing about a majority of
discussions being gear discussions and in fact most aren't.

OK so the point of your post was what? To hear yourself
pontificate?



Come on Greg, have another look at the original post. The point is
obvious enough.

Most players/beginners buy a few boxes, have a bit of fun with them for
a while and even keep using the odd one for years.

The point is, however much we think they are going to improve our
playing - the truth is they don't. Boxes can inspire you to play more
and they can make a few simple tricks sound much more impressive but
only practice will make you play better. If you need to improve you're
playing skills then buying a different OD pedal will make little
difference.

So if you really want to learn to _play_, don't waste too much time
messing about with the hardware. If however you want to learn how to
shape and reshape a simple signal into something far more complex
that's another skill. I think most beginners can work out which they
should concentrate on first :-)
