Pedals = efx
Pedals warp the frequency of your tone, to create stuff like distortion.
Also pedals can add nifty little efx into your playing, like for example...
Reverb (sounds like you're playing in a bathroom)
Flanger (that whirly sound =x)
Delay
Possibilities are endless.
In essence pedals just add more fun into your guitar playing by adding in effects and whatnots.

Go to www.bosscorp.co.jp
or www.digitech.com where you can see and hear all the pedals online.
The Digitech site is really cool because you can turn the effects on and off to hear dry and wet signals. Cool.

No - reverb is similar but distinct.
Reverb is designed to simulate the spatial ambience of different sized rooms. You can think of it as a kind of echo, but very very short ones. Think about being in a small room such as your bedroom - when you make noises the room responds in a certain way acoustically. Contrast this with being in a very large space such as a hall, church or catherdral. If you close your eyes you can definitely sense the spatial difference in size of the room just by the way sounds are reflected from the walls. The room 'sounds' bigger. The effect is very subtle Understand?
Delay is designed to make much less subtle noises than that.

I think on average a pedal costs, say, $200?
They range from a hundred to a couple of hundred, but if you save up 200 for each pedal you should be pretty safe.

Well, pedal prices vary widely depending on type and brand. In the Boss range for example, a Distortion DS-1 lists for $120 and you can get it for $75. A Digital Reverb RV-5 lists for $325 but you can get it for $210. A Digital Delay DD-6 lists for around $300 and available for $200.
There are obviously other brands. Danelectro make very cheap pedals for example.

Yup. Was referring to Boss. Thus bringing around $200 with you should be cool.
However, call me traditional or something, but for pedals, I only consider either Boss or Voodoo Labs.
I wonder why... =/

Biased? Definitely.
Personal preference? Can't say. Never tried out any others.
But the Voodoo Labs Distortion pedal still got me hooked.
Remember the $300 tone knob, pooo? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lol our days of terrorizing swee lee. :twisted:

Maxon 808.
Isnt that the old Ibanez, or something? I read somewhere Maxon pedals = Ibanez pedals. Design, wiring, everything except the branding now.
I wonder where I can get an 808. Maxon OR Ibanez.
