One of the things that bugs me about fuzz, delay, and reverse reverb + droning chords with open strings is that everything tends to mesh together, and I can barely just make out the changes between open chords. It's weird though, when my droney, strangey, open chordy stuff on my acoustic it stands out a lot more. Some effects can really drown out subtle changes in chords I guess.
I don't think shoddy guitar playing can be covered up by a million effects, but it can really fill in your style/sound if you don't have as much technical knowledge as Vai... or something.
