OK, so I have a strat with blaster and OBEL - last night what started happening is that if I hit any of my distortion stompboxes, the sound cut out immediately, but if I pulled out and put back in my guitar cord into the guitar, the signal was fine. This did NOT happen if I stomped on phase shift, delay, eq, tuner, etc - only each of my distortion boxes - WTF????? I'm the guy with the short in my Tiger, and now this?
