Cheers. experiment with it and i'm sure you'll find uses. fx are to give an added dimension to a song and with the exception of maybe distortion probably won't be used all the time or even frequently. over use tends to make you sound boring.

I aint used it for a long time so dont know weather to flog it, or keep it, incase I get good.

Ok I will keep it, and take your advice, good point about the lead I do leave it in. Thanks.
