so i've never used one before and have just been using my amp, but i figure maybe it's about time i get one

i don't know anything about them other than how to use it, any ideas what a good beginner one is? i don't really want to spend more than like $100

thanks!

Id say just get a used multy effect pedal. Stomp boxes can cost alot and you only get 1 sound. If you want to get a neat multy effect pedal get like a digitech rp100a. Its got many effects and plays the drums!

oh snap i didn't know those existed lol, i thought it was just one effect per pedal

so why do you need one in the first place?

i don't need one, i want one

i don't know anything about them in terms of quality, brands, types etc.

there are so many effects. i can help you, but honestly this is so vague, I wouldn't know where to begin. Modulation? Dirt? Delay? What are you looking for?

Phaser, Fuzz, Univibe, Delay, Pitch Vibrato, Whammy, Wah, Envelope Filter, Ring Modulator, Overdrive, on and on

look at proguitarshop.com's pedals or at least the list of different effects, and we can start there I guess

cool thanks

yeah sorry i'm being vague but i really don't know much about the different types, which are the most commonly used ones?

uhh most common is probably overdrive and delay...fuzz and distortion are probably up there too...followed by i guess phasers, wah pedals, and chorus pedals. anyway, they all make relatively unique sounds, so you should probably watch some of the pgs clips and just get a taste for each one's sound
