Hi! Thanks. I have used the volume pedal to slowly bring up a simple chord progression (C Am G F - something like that) and began to use the VP to layer sounds over the top via Overdub. Then, I put a melody on top. It sounds nice - very listenable, but something is missing - at least to my ear. There's no suspense or real mystery. Maybe the second delay/effects unit would help. I want to create rather dark stuff that has movement, then put a rather twisted, but melodic, melody over the top. Then.... I want to play this stuff live. Any additional info you might give is welcomed and appreciated.
