"As my author bio at the top of the page lists, I mentioned that not only am I a gamer, but I’m also a musician as well.

BUT... they served their purpose in showing how to fix the pedals, while at the same time showing how NOT to edit a video. Enjoy!
"There are few people who haven't, at one time or another, harbored dreams of chucking it all and hitting the road as a musician, which has surely played a substantial role in the massive success of Rock Band.
