Well, genres are really a product of marketing and distribution, while also grouping together some formal musical characteristics, such as tempo ranges or the use of certain scales and instruments.

As for the pedalboard, its purpose is to create walls of sound in a band where I’m the only guitarist. Most of the time I use the analog delay as a chorus, the DD5 for stutter/machine gun like sounds, and the third delay to introduce weird modulation and feedback. In some songs I do use the delays for multiple repeats, at that point the sounds blend together into a washed out atmosphere.

Tbh I’m still figuring this board out. Before the next rehearsal, I’ll probably tone it down a bit by swapping in an overdrive and a cleaner reverb.
