I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Frankly speaking, I think that attitude may have surfaced after he'd pulled that gain knob a million times. Or, perhaps partially due to the Steely Dan solos he was playing not being "screaming enough". And speaking of Steely Dan, I think I'd read in a Donald Fagen interview sometime back that part of the reason Steely Dan didn't tour extensively in the late 70's and 80's due to that very fact! Or maybe it was due to the band's heavy use of recreational drugs? Or both.
Any way you look at it, playing an un-classy, not-ready-for-the-year-2000 brown amp with gold knobs will take its toll on even the best of players . . . eventually.
