  • 🎸► The Beginner's Guide To Guitar Pedals & Guitar FX
    In this video I'm going to talk about what I wish I knew about guitar pedals when I first started as a guitarist. There's so many guitar pedals out there on the market so it's tough to know what each effect does as a beginner. However it's actually much simpler than you think! In this video I break it down using a simple analogy that everyone can relate with. We'll cover gain/drive pedals, modulation pedals like flanger/chorus and essential effects like reverb and delay and you'll hear how each pedal and effect changes the tone of my guitar. There are ofcourse many more effects and pedal types out there but I feel like the ones I talk about in this video can cover most guitar tones out there.

      Absolutely thank you so much! I had just started to learn an electric guitar last year then moved recently and gave that guitar away (and kept the amp knowing I’d be picking a new one up after the move.
      I’m now looking at picking up a new guitar and pedal mix (seriously just yesterday was going to pull the trigger but the color I wanted is out of stock… and while looking, pedals came up and it made me wonder how to get ones I’d like). Yes, your video cleared it up and I’m ready!!! Thank you!!! Perfect timing!!! 🤯🤯🤯

  • @oldfunkydung
    @oldfunkydung 3 месяца назад

    A great clear and concise video; helpful even to someone whose played for a few years. It may be worth adding that while putting the Looper at the end is clearly the place for it to go when you are of course looping, but when you are trying to learn what your pedals can do and how they work, I find it is good to temporarily move it to the beginning. That way you can put in a quick 2 or 4 bar sequence, put your guitar down and start to tweak your pedals over and over again as the clean loop plays through them to rapidly work out how they respond.
