  • Pedals are a HUGE part of your setup and sound! They can take you from sounding amateur to sounding professional, but there are so many options to choose from. So how do you know where to start? Well, that's what The Beginner's Guide To Guitar Pedals is all about, helping you understand which guitar pedals you should purchase first!
    A reverb pedal? A compressor? Delay? Distortion? Modulation? And to add - What kind of reverb? What type of distortion? Is there an order in which I should purchase these? The short answer is, it depends. But that's what we're going to discover together.
    If you want your guitar to sound more lush and rich then a reverb pedal might be your first purchase. If you're going for that Hendrix sound then maybe it's a distortion pedal you get. And if it's that U2 type delay that gets you inspired then you should probably start there. In this video, Ayla breaks down the basic kinds of pedals you might add to your setup and what they can do for you and your sound. In this way, you will find out exactly what guitar pedals you should buy and what adding effects to your playing can do for you!

      Good vid for the beginners. I used pedals back in the 80s.. I only use Marshall amps today and don't need pedals. Marshall today have reverb and all the distortion gain you will ever need. Only pedal I need is a chorus and it will be used only once in A while. Delays and Flangers and all the restore toys for kids. Marshall today can play from country to hard core metal from the one amp. In old days we needed a few amps and a lot pedals to cover all the sounds we wanted. OLD Marshall s sounded good then .. but needed dist pedals for hard core metal . Today buy a new Marshall and that's all you need. I like her vids. Only thing I would do not recommend is buying a modeling amp. I played them all and owned a few don't buy them. You will spend way way too much time understanding them and playing with all the settings. You will constantly be trying to find the right sound and never get it. You will be trying to find a better sound . I won't have one ever agin. Spend more time in selections than practicing.

    • @Jonpoo1
      @Jonpoo1 2 роки тому +35

      Definitely recommend a looper pedal as the first pedal. Most starter amps have overdrive and maybe reverb and delay so you can start with those for FX but a looper pedal makes practice 100x more fun and productive.

      @@KaiserBruh Taste and Try before you buy and ideally on your own guitar and amp.
      I’d get a cheap one second hand for the experience and if they have a power supply and case/bag/box try and get them included, start at the bottom and work your way up, …or not.
      You’ll need at least one extra jack2jack instrument lead and if you can do a simple solder then get ones with resolderable cable jacks and try and get coloured cables to avoid future confusion, also i’d avoid curly cables, i find them a real pain to coil up.
      Single function pedal ? I’d choose a reverb first. But maybe that first choice should be a guitar computer/smart phone interface. Good luck 2U.

      @@moreglutesmoredudes9974 it won't work the same way loopers work while plugged into fx loop of the amp/modeler. Looper before interface will record dry sound of your guitar, so it won't work as intended for layering different tones while looping. In this order, it becomes a tool for setting up tones. You record a riff with a looper and then you can tweak tone on amplitube, while the looper plays the riff for you. But you can use software loopers and you can control them with MIDI footswitch if you have one.

  • @theguitargamer3372
    @theguitargamer3372 2 роки тому +201

    Great video! One thing I wanted to mention is that a lot of metal tones from popular metal bands are actually the result of a cranked amp with MODERATE distortion and a tubescreamer hitting the front of it with the volume maxed and the gain all the way down. You can also used 2 pedals, one being a distortion pedal (moderate gain) and a tubescreamer (volume maxed, gain down) to achieve the same thing. Just wanted to mention that. It took me years 10 years to figure that out and I spent most of that time using distortion pedals to try and emulate that sound and most of the time it just didn't sound very good unless you get a really good one.

    • @jonthehermit8082
      @jonthehermit8082 2 роки тому +3

    • @tomterry2662
      @tomterry2662 2 роки тому +1

      I understand what your saying and it's true. But today if you simply buy a new Marshall it's all you need. A Marshall a good guitar chord and your guitar. It's all you need and you will have all the gain, dist, reverb you will ever need. And the clean on them are amazing. The 1 amp will do it all.

    • @daviddr2d2
      @daviddr2d2 Рік тому

      Yep, good point. According to Steve Vai's video, a distortion pedal is best going into a clean amp, whilst an overdrive pedal is best going into an amp with gain. And the overdrive is the better choice out of the two for solos as it sings more. Accoring to Phillip McKnights video: If you combine overdrive + phaser + delay + gain on the amp, you get that ultimate bluesy solo sound.
      The essential 4 pedals according to Phillip McKnight are: wah, overdrive, modulation and delay. But the idea he says is, you can swap them out with a wildcard pedal and experiment for fun and get the sound you like, e.g. the delay for a reverb or the phaser for a chorus etc.
      I’m interested what a solo sound, sounds like with overdrive + chorus + delay + gain on an amp in comparison to the modulation being a phaser.
      I once saw a really good video on what are some good pedals to get, but of course it all depends on what sound you like: Crybaby mini wah, Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-3, Ibanez mini tube screamer, mxr mini phase 95, Boss DD-3, + a ditto looper.
      I actually have a Boss rc-5, as I want drums and looper, and it is very good.
      Thanks for the video Ayla, my first pedal was a Boss ch-1. I don't have a favorite pedal, but would say it is a combination of overdrive, modulation and delay. But my favorite pedal I have for rhythm guitar is the Boss DS-1.

    Ayla, the first thing I want to say is that I'm so glad to have discovered your channel! You have cleared up and simplified things I have struggled to learn, even after 45 years of playing, the pentatonic scales are the best example of that!
    And thank you for this fine video also! It can be a big headache for any player, beginning or advanced, pro or amateur, to decide on a particular pedal, and I credit you for cutting through all of the riff raff when it comes to pedal selection.
    Now to answer your questions for commenters, my first pedal was a late 70's DOD Overdrive 250. I wish I still had it now. The overdrive was what I call "milkshake", thick, rich, and with flavor ( I mean clarity and definition ) standing out. I ran it straight into my first good amp, a Randall RG60, solid state, but it meant everything in the world to a 14 year old then. The reissue DOD Overdrive 250's, to me, are way too thin, tinny, and nowhere near what I had in my original one.
    My favorite pedal now is a Radial ToneBone Hot British Distortion. It is tube powered, yes, it has to be plugged in, but the versatility I get from it is more than well worth that trouble. I can get a sweet, mild overdrive, all the way to bone crunching metal monster, and everything in between. They are hard to get now, a lot of them are in Japan, at premium prices, but mine isn't going anywhere!
    Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge in a clear and concise way! I wish you all the best in your continuing musical journey, for you have certainly helped me with my own! :) :)

    Nice beginner's guide! Helps people get a good sound without breaking the bank. For the record my rig is like this:
    Guitar->Hardwire Polyphonic tuner->Tumnus overdrive (nice buffer, good at the beginning of the chain)->Mooer Free Step wah->Banshee talkbox->Analog Delay->front of amp (I get most of my distortion from my amp).
    In my loop, send->Zoom G3 multi effect for lots of special purpose time and modulation effects->TC Spark Boost for clean boost->Wampler Ethereal for always on reverb/delay->MXR 10 band EQ for crafting the overall tone->return.
    Just remember folks it's not just the effects you use, it's where you put them (which Ayla does a good job showing), how you dial them in and, something people forget about, buffered or true bypass! Ideally you want a combo of both, Google for why. :)
    Finally, if you're just starting out, buy the amp that has the best overall non-effected sound. You can always add effects later but getting a good basic sound is paramount. Don't buy an amp because it has more bells and whistles if another amp sounds better overall.

    Volume pedal + HX Effects by Line 6 is what I would choose to get. That together with cables is somewhat around 750 (euro) or 780 (dollar). 100+ different tones and effects and the volym pedal because... I think it is underrated. And yes the HX effects has a tuner and compressor inside it. Pretty dope.

    Great presentation and audio quality, a credit to all involved. First pedal was a home made Wah and then a Zoom MS50 multi-effect pedal. I'm going to add a dual delay (probably a NuX) and some home made distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedals. The Zoom was a great introduction but I'd like the flexibility of individual effects. Fantastic playing by the way!

    Really cool🙂 I started with a tiny Marshall amp that only had gain, tone, and volume lol. I then got a modeling vox amp and a whole new world opened. I was dialing in tones of songs I was learning. It’s so much better when you can get the correct tone. I believe the first pedal I bought was an mxr carbon copy. My favorite pedal currently is the ehx small stone🙂

    I love multi effects. I got the ME-80. Though it’s a multi effects box, one can operate it manually like individual pedals giving the freedom to adjust and change settings to each unit/pedal as desired. It’s a really cheap alternative and very handy and much more portable than a series of pedals. I even have a back up unit during gigs just in case of technical issues. Money aside, I would have bought individual pedals but I’d be too lazy carrying them all around. 😊

    What I'd really recommend for players just getting into pedals is to look at the cheaper Behringer ones. The quality has really got better over the years, and even though they're housed in plastic it's a super price point for new players or those with a limited budget to try out a wide variety of pedals to see what they like.

    I'd recommend to newbies not to get a tuner pedal for one simple reason. Don't get me wrong, tuning is essential and you should have a tuner, but a tuner PEDAL is a basic function at a high price point. So if youre tight on cash, I'd recommend getting a headstock tuner. Same function, gets your guitar in tune, and you can find a good quality one for less money than the cheapest tuner pedal. Saves more money to spend on effects down the road and saves room on the pedalboard

      Or I could try learning surf without knowing how to work with the spring reverb?
      Or doom metal without a good fuzz?
