MATCH, PATCH
AND PLUCK THE
PAIN AWAY
Hopefully next time you find yourself lost down the hang-up alleyway of pedalboard
planning, try this nifty little exercise of color-coding the signal chain. It may sound wacky,
but that is what this game is all about—experimenting and expressing emotion through
sound. You could even take it further and mood-match the colors on the board. In an
increasingly crazy world, the moods, signal chains and emotions become more and more
complex, so pick a color—any color—and find a unique voice. Then use that voice to
make the world a better and more interesting place. The therapy lies in the chase.
