Members Lou Speed's Alt Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 Don't listen to PKTrono! The only brand worth buying is JOYO. The only place worth buying from is DONNERDEAL. Join us, welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thecakeguru Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 Depends on your budget... me? I hate most boss pedals, and most digitech.. stay away from cheap stuff, (thank me later)... lol.. Moderate priced, look at: hardwire, tc electronic, fulltone, voodoo labs, xotic, bbe, some of mxr's stuff, way huge... anything from Pro guitar shop.... budda, mesa... mad professor, keeley, suhr, wampler.. that should be enough to get you started.. But then again, if your planning on putting any pedals into some line 6 modelling amp or similiar, with a squier, money would be better spent upgrading the amp first, then your guitar! Remember this, cheap guitar into good amp, good sound, good guitar into cheap amp, cheap sound.. just my two cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yes. Many brands have specialties and certain types of pedal they are known for. Strymon for example is known for delays reverbs and modulation. Digitech is known mostly for pitch shifters delays and reverbs. Zvex is known for dirt pedals and experimental effects. Boss is known for being pretty good at most types of effect but not very adventurous. EHX is known for also being good at most types of effect but tending to be more quirky than boss (and a lot of other companies). Most of their pedals have a very wide control range. I agree with getting a nice amplifier first though. Maybe get like a digitech hardwire delay and a dirt pedal of your choice and then just a nice amp that suits your style to begin with.

Members V Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 I find delays great for learning as well. They can keep you on rhythm and every mistake you make is thrown back in your face five or six times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd suggest you get a concept of what you want to do with effects before you just go buying effects. Listen to a lot of music, and if you hear a sound you want to emulate, find out what you need to achieve that goal. There are a lot of pedals out there for a lot of different tastes and budgets. IMHO, knowing your gear is much more important than having good or even great gear. And that is something that just comes with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
