you always equate your guitar sounds with some sort of religous theme.

I second the awesome power of the ebow.

Where's the selection for good old fashioned feedback? Sometimes you just gotta let the amp play the guitar with a little help from the tremolo bar.

Thumbs up The almighty Tortex

pick, whats wrong with that? If I had coke nails I would use those, but for the percussive elements and textures I like to use picks, easily my favorite.

I once used a Twinkie as a pick to play the solo to Metallica - "So What" on stage.
