Quiet Loud Quiet Loud Loud

Becasue I dont usually do the whole "standard song structure" thing I realised I hadn't ever done a WB with the old standard of quiet loud, quiet loud. And add that to the fact I have to get through a whole bunch of mid gain distortion peels that I won't be able to do full on metal songs with, there's going to be a few of these mid paced, mid gain rock songs. But also, I have a bunch of compressors to get through, and Im not super into any of them, my first thought was "country style" finger picking, but Im even less country than I am Jazz lol, so used them both for the finger picked stuff, but also into the front of dirt pedals sort of like overdrives, but worse, because they kill the feel a bit. I really should have used them in the FX loop, because I particularly don't like how they iron out my lead playing, but oh well.
Also first WB track with my Ibanez Fireman, which was my Xmas present to myself, which is a banger.
Pedals for today:
1: Way Huge Saffron Squeeze. Full featured guitar comp, all the mini knobs and stuff.
2: Dazatronix BSIAB2. Really weird but cool pedal, weird because its "Brown Sound in a Box" but looks like a mesa boogie design scheme, but the Brown Sound was a Marshall, so who knows.
3: MXR Custom Comp. Very good at the country picking thing, makes your clean sound that way instantly.
4: MXR Carbon Copy Bright. Used before, just needed delay. Actually already out of delay pedals!
5: Boss DS-1. Sin in pedal form. These are just awful, and I can't believe some people enjoy them. Took ages to get a tone, and still its only "meh". If the best you can do is average/boring then its a failure. And it is incredibly boring to me.
