The Chavez asked:
I currently have a custom tele (which I love!) and just a simple 2×12 Crate amp (with tube preamp). I have a couple of overdrive pedals, a Line6 DL4, and a Big **** Pi. Does anyone have any ideas about EQ, or any other pedals I should try? I’ve been playing guitar for quite a few years, but I am just getting into blues.

Keep it simple, not alot of effects on the rythm, play neck pickup, get your tone out of the guitar tone knob. Clean. get nasty on your leads by overdriving, and throw in a Cry Baby wah. (seeings how you have the overdrive pedals, kick them in on a fierce lead, maybe using the bridge pick up)
the neck pickup on a tele (which I play) has that nice mellow sound. Play two notes at a time and slide into the next single note. (I hope you get what Im saying, I am baked at the moment!!!) I play thru a Hot Rod Deville, but I do love the Tele’s natural sound, harmonize with 4th’s and 5th’s. (or experitment with your taste.) A little reverb, but not much
Basically use your guitar tone knobs and “pick” towards the neck area, regardless of pickup selection.
(Blues is all about “feel”, if you like… that’s cool enough!(
also, the two note “octave” D and B string is very cool
(where you “pick” makes a difference in you tones)
screwit, I’m giving you a star!! for being interested in the BLUES!
