may i suggest one pedal, this is all you need, Cornerstone Gladio(made in italy by a husband wife team, he designs, she builds'm). if you have the coin, grab a Fender Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster amp. You are done. You have enough now.

go play.............

Sasha turned me onto the Gladio-you can find a lot of different electric brands he demo's here thru the gladio

We found a uke group at the local senior center (tenor uke for her, uke-banjo for me)...

Connected with a couple guys who played the local bar-band/catering-hall circuit in the '60s/70s, and a lady who did the Greenwich Village coffeehouses in the Dylan/PPM era...

Local coffeehouse where I had been playing open mics and a couple solo gigs had a Stones tribute night, sponsored by the local acoustic music cooperative - we thought it might be fun to put together an ad hoc band...

Played the gig, audience loved us, everyone got the itch again - made it an ongoing venture and went electric...

Bought three guitars, two amp heads, a speaker cab, and a complete PA system (8-channel head, mains/monitor cabs, mics/stands/cables)...

Before Corona (the virus and the brew... ) and some consequential interpersonal issues shut things down for good, we had a fairly successful three-year run: local gigs, a TV appearance, a regular following of a couple hundred - not bad for a bunch of old geezers...

Never say never...
Steve,

That’s a great story! But...... you’ve never heard me play or sing
