Requires help and advice on getting my next pedals

[IceLemonTea]

I've started guitar afew months back & so far,
i've developed a liking of playing songs from Silverstein and Story Of The Year.
Currently i'm only owning a SansAmpGT2 and a tuner pedal.

Any advice on what other pedals i need to get to enhance my sound with to be able to play more range of songs?
Recommendations of selected pedals are best

I also tend to have a problem with my playing being relatively pitchy at parts of lead during high frets.
Any solutions for it?

Thanks

so far the best distortion i've heard is the blackstar ht blackfire.

What amp are you using? IMO The SansAmp is versatile enough.

With regards to the pitchy problem, your guitar's intonation might be out.

by what do you mean the intonation is out?
means something is spoilt in my guitar?

thanks

means your 12 fret note on 1st string is not really E , your 12 fret note on your 2nd string is not really B, your 12 fret note of the 3rd string is not really G, etc
use a tuner to find out

If you haven't sent your guitar for a set up before, it's probably time you should

What guitar are you using? Yup sounds like an intonation prob.

if you have a fixed bridge should be simple to do by yourself. The harmonic and note at the 12th fret should be in tune. if it is not, tighten the screws at the bridge (if it is flat) or loosen it if it is sharp.

Each saddle should have its own screw, usually located at the lowest end of the bridge.

Do make sure you use a tuner. Very important!!

+1 to that. Highly advice that you send it to Sound Alchemy for a set up. Once i sent my guitar there, never sent it anywhere else.
