I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of pickguards.

Even if the shape looks cool, I'd rather see wood grain, texture. I'd rather have the feel of a natural material over plastic or acryllic.

Instead of a black synthetic pickguard, why not ebony or any other wood, even if it's got a black finish? How about metal that's been hit with flame to colorize it? Roll the edges, embed it, or bind it. Give me a good finger rest while you're at it!

I guess it's fine on plain woods. Those almost always get painted anyway. Alternatively, they could be carved, burned, or inlayed with stone.

Once upon a time I was cool, and did cool things. Pic of the author playing bass with False Face Society at the Eight by Ten, Baltimore Maryland, circa 1990.

Here's one way to use a tremolo pedal.

Plug it into a parallel mixer / loop switcher with a distortion so it blends the distortion in and out to give a noxious pulse.
Plug a fuzz into a different loop and run the dry signal through.
Reverb full wet with its own overdrive pedal in another loop.
Blend to taste.

Yes, I am using three different #NativeAudio distortion #effectsPedals tonight.

I'll have sound samples... after I get that set up and figured out. 😅
