#StompboxQuotes | Kim Thayil
“In the early days of @soundgarden, I really only had two pedals—a Tube Screamer for gain, along with Chris’s purple Ibanez CS9. I developed my whole writing and playing style around them, and the CS9 is the one that’s stayed with me the longest.”

“Fuzz Faces often don’t sound good, period. They can change over time or due to temperature, and they’re a lot of hassle. But when you get one that sounds really great, like this red one, there’s nothing quite like it.” –Eric Johnson
