I have finally tidied the mess in front of my amp with a home (work) made pedalboard, spent ages trying to hide cables to suit a minor OCD/hate of cables and wires ! Pedal order from the effects loop on my amp: Amp Loop Send - Tuner - Noise Gate - Compressor - Tube Screamer - Amp Modeler - Acoustic Simulator - Chorus - Delay - Looper - Amp Loop Return Guitar plugs direct in to the amp.

Hi, I'm Richard (Chud) I've been playing the guitar on and off since I was 13, I'm now 47 and forever looking for better sounds and tones.

I don't know the science behind wood treatment, I guess you can look at it like using hand cream ! It's become a routine now when I clean and restring and I've seen no damage. I'm not sure about the materials on passed guitars but my current ones all seem to be rosewood.

I forget who I heard this from but they suggested to use valve oil for brass instruments on a fretboard, I tried this on a cheap guitar I had at first and now I use it on all my guitars when I restring them, I've been using this for years and would recommend it.
