I wasn't. Just picked a preset on the Zoom and added the Tube Screamer for the lead. This is just a jam, so I am not worrying too much about the tone. I have a DOD compressor, but have not got to grips with it really and it is not connected right now. I could use one on the Zoom.

It actually makes a change for me to plug the guitar in, but I ought to use all this gear I have. At least I can practice at volumes that don't upset the family. My little tube amp is pretty loud on the lowest setting :)

It's one of those weird ones that I never used until I did and now I don't like playing without it. Tis a nice array of pedals!

I had to get a tube amp with those settings that allow you to change the output in wattage from one of three for the exact same reason. Obviously, it's on the quietest one!
