Full Circle

A year or two ago, I decided to buy a certain wah pedal that one of my personal guitar heroes used to use. Unfortunately, it didn't do everything I wanted it to. More accurately, it didn't sound anything like when my guitar hero used it. Maybe it was just the way it interacted with the rest of my guitar rig, or maybe I just didn't know what I was doing. (Both equally possible, I'm sure.)

I decided to sell it, snapping a picture and posting it on numerous message boards. It ended up selling for not much less than I bought it for, so it worked out ok.



Yesterday, I read a blog post by that same guitar hero. He was recounting his early guitar rig and talking about how he used whatever he had but made it work, even if it was cheap off-the-shelf stuff. As he listed off his old guitar rig, he linked to pictures of the various items for general reference. I clicked on the link associated with "wah pedal" and what did I find? My picture.

The irony was great. My guitar hero steals a picture I took of the pedal I bought solely to steal his sound.
