You are right, this is a great pedal and will be found on the Electro Harmonix website. For those of you who are wondering, SMMwH is "Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai".

Sometimes even having the same type of guitars can be a problem (gibson + gibson or fender + fender). One thing that works in that case is to play really different stuff.

I also like Boss BluesDriver, Fuzz and DS-1 pedals - but this one is something special for me. I just remember the days when I tried it for the first time and it had an old classic rock sound which was very similar to the Angus Youngs guitar tones in first Ac/Dc albums. So, I was playing their songs the whole day long - I was a happy guitar newbie! Boss Super OverDrive is one of my favorite guitar pedals.

It is tuned one octave below that of a standard guitar tuning (EADGBE.) Typical string gauges run from .095 to .025. Baritone guitars - on the other hand - are usually tuned a perfect fifth lower (A D G C E A), a perfect fourth lower (B E A D F♯ B), or a major third lower (C F B♭ E♭ G C). And they use lighter gauge strings than this. They also are 28" or so scale. The Fender Bass VI is actually a 30″ short-scale six-string bass NOT at all a baritone guitar.
