What Guitar Pedals Do I Get Next? [A Versatile Do-It-All Board]

You have two or three pedals already – what’s next? Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Welcome to the show! Whether you’re relatively new to using guitar effects pedals, or you’ve been using a select few stomps for years, this video will offer some inspiration on how to expand on your existing palette of tones. However if you are just getting started, check out last week’s video first: where we suggest ideas for your first three pedals. This video picks up where last week’s left off – overdrive, delay and tremolo – and considers where to go next for the main food groups of sounds. We listen to some other overdrive, boost and fuzz flavours, plus take in chorus, rotary speaker, a more characterful delay, reverb and an envelope filter. PLEASE NOTE: We like each of these pedals a great deal, but the specific pedals themselves is not the point. The point is about the effects types and groups, so choose whatever brand and budget that appeals to you most! And for everyone one who says your first pedal should be a tuner. No it shouldn’t. Get a headstock tuner to help, but even better than that, please learn to tune by ear. You don’t need a pedal tuner until you’re doing gigs. Big love y’all! Enjoy the video!
