Question
Hey Scorpion,
I was wondering why Dave and Chris choose not to use effect pedal and have pedal boards onstage? Do all the distortions, choruses, flangers etc come from the effects processors and amps? And does David Ellefson use any sort of effects or does he plug straight into his amp?
Thank you very much,
Eduardo, S√£o Paulo, Brazil
PS. I'm extremely excited to see Megadeth play at SWU here in Brazil in November!

Hey Eduardo,
The band prefers a clean stage which is why they also use in-ear monitoring instead of foldback wedge monitor cabinets. This way they can offer their audience a perfect view from any seat and not be tied to pedal boards to hinder their performance for the fans.
David Ellefson only uses a stereo chorus for songs like 'Dawn Patrol', 'Poison Was The Cure' and 'Five Magics'. That pedal is run by his tech offstage as well.
Scorp!
