Hi Billy, it really depends on your budget and whether you are looking for an electro acoustic with nylon strings or a solid body electric with the steel stringsm making it much more like an electric guitar to play. Not sure where you are living but I'd recommend checking out the Southern Ukulele Store as they often have all sorts of electric / electro acoustic ukes. www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/shop-by-type/electro-acoustic/
Nothing better than going away and coming home to. Ukulele Wales video! Thanks Rachel. The best part is it gets you to start using your pedals again. Mine sort of got pushed aside, but now will have some fun 😀
Thanks again for another great demo. Really helps In selecting a pedal for the first time. I’ll be watching this again before ordering. A very good reference guide. Stay safe and well.
Once again a superbly presented video by an inspiring teacher! If only those pedals gave us the skills required to get the full effect! That solid body electric ukulele looks awesome too! We can all be aspiring rock gods!
I really enjoy the way you present pedal information. I usually just sit back and wish I could do that, I’m definitely in over my head with pedals. I purchased a ditto, a vintage delay, and a Wah Wah. I have very little idea how to use them or what applications work for which sounds. I have two acoustic electric with passive pickup and just recently bought a UBass. Perhaps I can record the UBass on the ditto and play along with another Ukulele. Not sure that would work but maybe 🤔
Hi Mary and Thanks fr your SUYU entry! Yes, you can certainly use the Ditto to record bass and play along with uke or vice versa. I think the only real way of learning with the pedals is to have a go messing about, you can't break them and you can then get a feel for the sounds you like.
My first pedal was a cheap mini looper I found it realy helpfull as a ''learning tool'' but mostley its a lot of fun while playing by myself . Since then I have gone rather silly and am quickley becomeing a pedal collector as well as a Ukulele collector LOL
Thank you again for this great video! For my Acoustic Electric uke, I started with Compressor, Over Drive, Chorus and Reverb. Because my Amp does not have Reverb. Now deciding on the last effect pedal. Because I have only one spot open. Maybe Delay I guess ;) (PS. I love your purple uke! So beautiful!)
I tell everyone who owns a solid body electric ukulele to buy the Yamaha THR10IIWL wireless. It does clean uke all the way to delay and stadium settings to rock out on. Check it out you won’t be disappointed. I know it’s not a pedal but this amp has more then 15 amp selections also has three bass settings. I love mine. No mess of wires
That would be a great choice. I haven’t used one personally but it would well for ukes - I have recently bought something similar, the Valeton GP-100. 👍
It may well be interference from the power cable or even another electrical item close by. Also though, are you using a distortion pedal as thi can sometimes cause extra noise?
Hi Patricia, do you mean which pedals? I haven't tried a Spark amp so not sure what it covers effects wise but know it does lots of fancy things with it's options.
My first pedals I got were Overdrive/Distortion, Vintage Delay, Multi-FX and a Looper pedal. Pretty much everything I could ever want!
That sounds like a great selection there David, and as you say, covers most options.
So cool. I never knew they had electric ukuleles. I totally want one now. What would be a good one for a beginner?
If you want a solid body the new Harvey Benton at £73 is unbelievably good value. See full review on Got A Ukulele You Tube Video.

Thankyou! I've been looking at pedals recently and this video is really useful!
❤️❤️
Glad to have helped.

Hope you had anice time away Loree, now yes, get rocking those pedals!

Thanks Michael and I hope you are keeping well too.
The finale with all 3 pedals was EPIC! 😄
Thanks Jules, I was aiming for epic so very glad you gave it your seal of approval. :-)

Loved reading this, Thanks. Yes all of us can be rock gods and the pedals help!! 😊
That's a few more added to my list then! 😁🎵🎶❤️
That's a big list now Jude! LOL

Thanks. Yes, delay would be a good option, especially combining with the pedals you already have.

Haven't tried one Chris but if I ever get a chance to, I certainly will. I've heard they are very good for recording as well as a small practice amp.
Rachel, maybe in a future video, could you address pedals for electro-acoustic u-basses?
Certainly, I have done a few things with the BUFX board but will look specifically at electro acoustics. Great suggestion.
I was thinking about an Mooer GE-100...would that be a right choice?
That would be a great choice. I haven’t used one personally but it would well for ukes - I have recently bought something similar, the Valeton GP-100. 👍
@@UkuleleWales Cool! Just bought the Mooer second hand for 40 bucks and it works awesome! It looks almost simular to the Valeton.
Any idea what ro do about the buzzing sound?
It may well be interference from the power cable or even another electrical item close by. Also though, are you using a distortion pedal as thi can sometimes cause extra noise?
It was the power supply. I changed ot with another one and worked perfectly. Thanks!
I have a spark amp. I have both acoustic and solid body ukuleles. What you recommend?
Hi Patricia, do you mean which pedals? I haven't tried a Spark amp so not sure what it covers effects wise but know it does lots of fancy things with it's options.
Hello, Donner Have a Bank Holiday sale on at the moment (23/05/2022). All pedals £25.00.
