  • I think it's time I entered the rabbit hole of effects pedals. I still can't play for shit, but I fancy some new sounds. Current setup is a Fender Strat American Performer HSS (humbucker goodness) and a teeny little Fender practice amp, the sole redeeming feature of which is that it appears not to annoy the neighbours. Not enough to complain about it, anyway.

    Suggestions welcome.

  • Have you got a tuner? My first thought was just buy a cheap multifx unit like this or you could hit gumtree/eBay and pick up a few cheap Behringer pedals, they'll cost you next to nothing, and you can build a little board up...

    To go with your tuner I'd recommend an overdrive, maybe a fuzz as well if you're feeling flush, a reverb/delay and for modulation I'd get a Zoom MS70CDR or similar, tons of effects in there, all good quality, hours of fun, cheap as chips used... You'll need a power supply, a One Spot is cheap and will do the job or the Harley Benton PSU from Thomann is great value...

    You could actually get that Zoom and be done with it, it's got everything in it apart from distortion/overdrive... It'll definitely let you experiment with tons of sounds so you can figure out what you do and don't like, I've got one I use as a dedicated reverse reverb, cost me fiddy bux... Enjoy!
