Since I can’t sleep just now, I’ll digress on to pedals and effects.
I still have the Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion, which after getting back into guitars, was joined by a TU-3, as I was fed up with the old little plastic tuner I had been using which meant swapping cables every time I wanted to tune the guitar.
It was then followed up with more Boss pedals (I think they were on a 3 for 2 offer)
RC-3 Loop station. Classic looper, but I never really got on with it. I should probably have got the extension pedals for it, but it’s languishing in the cupboard now.
AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. This is quite an interesting one, as I don’t think it sounds anything like an acoustic, but it’s still quite an interesting tone.
OC-3 Super Octaver. Does what it says on the tin. Gives you the extra octave to give more fill, although it’s not really a sound I like that much.
Somewhere after those pedals, I bought the Fender Mustang V2 amp, which let me play around with more options. However for noodling/experimenting, I still much prefer old school pedals.
The amp did let me realise I love a bit fuzz, and more old school analogue effects.
I chanced some cheap pedals courtesy of TomTop-
The Tremolo is actually pretty good, but I can’t remember how the other pedals were. I might have to dig them out and try them again.
Then I discovered ThorpyFX.
First was a Muffroom Cloud (now renamed the Fallout Cloud) that I bought secondhand, which produces a nice harsh fuzz sound.
Then I bought the limited edition Veteran Germanium, which is such a dynamic pedal. It goes all the way from just slightly driven, to flatout fuzz just with changing the guitar volume. Even going from just lightly hitting the strings to really attacking them results in a very noticeable change to the output. And the Germanium seems to give the signal that little bit dirt/noise.
Off course for comparison purposes I also bought a Veteran Silicon when Thorpy discounted them as he was re-designing all the pedals into smaller cases. It’s as good as the germanium version, but I just prefer the roughness/dirt the germanium transistors seem to add.
At the same point, I also bought a Chain Home tremelo. I’ll admit that it’s not really my kind of thing, as I find it quite a harsh/extreme tremolo.
And just to keep my collection of limited edition ThorpyFX pedals complete, I also do a have Boneyard, but I’ve never actually used it 
For more interesting looping, I bought a Digitech Trio+
I’ve never really got beyond the basics, but it’s an interesting pedal.
Select the music style (essentially selects the drum type), play the basic chords over the loop which then auto generates a bass track, then you can loop over the top like a normal looper.
I’ve only ever scratched the surface of it, but you can sequence an entire song on it.
At some point I also managed to get a Korg Miku pedal.
Absolutely bizarre Japanese pedal, which the novelty quickly wore off, so I eventually sold it.
However, for most practise I have a Line6 Amplitude TT.
As much as I love playing with pedals through a good amp, this thing is far better for practise with a set of headphones. I have a few presets for common tones, which removes the distraction from playing with pedals.
Changing effects is pretty easy with the app, but I don’t think I’ve even got the app installed on my current phone. I have considered replacing it, but not sure what I’d actually replace it with, as I like the fact it sits on my desk and I don’t have to reach down to change settings.
,if i got a euro for everyone who later regrets this sentence, 
…i would quickly buy another guitar for it 
Keep reciting those lines buddy!
