JOHN FRUSCIANTE DEMOING HIS PEDALS

When Howard does the pedal community a solid. So surprising too that John’s still using a predominant amount of BOSS pedals after all these years.

[@niallio77]

The middle orange, BOSS Turbo Distortion DS-2 has been made since 1987, good enough for Prince and Kurt Cobain. I bought one for 40 bucks. Lets see if Keeley, Walrus, Earthquaker Devices, Friedman etc are still around in 20 years...

"If you can get your tone with boss pedals, you can get it anywhere on the planet." - Steve Vai

[@scottarivett496]

A lot of players do it that way now. Make a fly rig pedalboard and have the venue provide a back line amp like a Fender hot rod deluxe or Marshall 4x12. Easy in, easy out.

[@latioswarrior]

@@scottarivett496 I think what he meant was that boss pedals are practically found all over the world where as say boutique manufacturers are harder to find and replace in a pinch

[@Leo_nbd]

Incidentally that might be the reason Frusciante first got into Boss pedals as well, since he was initially a big fan of Vai.

Listening to Howard Stern now days is like eating Ramen Noodles everyday for years. At first it's amazing, it gets you through the day and can do a lot of different things to it to keep it new. Then after a while you run out of ideas then it becomes repetitive to the point you can barely make it through a bowl.
