While of course, you want to sell products, there's a very warming and welcoming tone to these, that I hope will make new players feel like part of the guitar playing community of the world. Well done Cap'n, and well done also to the production team. It warms a teachers heart to see it.

    if I was starting again, I would buy Boss pedals and ignore everything else.
    I have about forty pedals made by mainly ‘boutique’ (low volume production,high price) builders and six guitars ranging from a 40 year old Squire JVRI Strat to a Murphy lab SG…
    If you want my advice, get a decent HSS S-style and/or an LP style and a handful of Boss pedals and that will be all you will ever need.

    My first pedal was an Ibanez Phat Hed. It was advertised as a bass Tube Screamer, but it worked equally as well for guitar. Of course, the reason I bought it was because it was half the price of a Tube Screamer.
    Looking back at those days, the first pedal a beginner should buy is a TUNER. You're welcome.

    So you’ve got a £500 rig, and £500 to spend. What do you do? New guitar? Pedals? Trade in your amp? Trade everything. And you could have 2 approaches to the same situation..
    Then same… but with £1000 rig and so on. And you’re then covering everyone’s real life conundrums on what’s next

    Just get a tube screamer. I wish i had. I had a cheap amp cheap pedal and sound i sometimes loved, but mostly hated. My fingers worked mostly fine, but no matter what, something sounded off.no modulation until until you can play clean. Grab a ir200 and a tube screamer. It will cost you 600 bucks your cheap guitar will sound better. Don't get a daisy chain with a cheap amp. It may sound like garbage. I spent more money trying to get expensive tones with cheap equipment but you have to spend some money to sound good. 500 bucks will get you pretty far. Anyway nobody will lisyen and probably do what i did.
    But again, get the ir200. I took a dump on it. i was wrong. It's a great, inexpensive machine to learn on. And in 6 months, when you are better, get something digital with modulation. You'll learn to not like it, then you'll really start spending money.

    My advice is that you don't buy cheap pedals, then replace them with the pedals you actually want. You've just wasted money on the cheap pedals. If a pedal costs you $25, it's a waste of $25. Just go get a pizza instead. Then save up and get $200 pedals when they're on sale price for $140.

    I'm glad that you explain the option of "Daisy Chaining" for powering multiple pedals.
    I think buying a "Power Supply" is throwing away money & giving up "Real Estate" on your board.
    I have over 16 pedals "Daisy Chained" on MY board, with NO ISSUES!

    • @7171jay
      @7171jay Před 5 měsíci

      Daisy chaining is a good way to keep costs down and is fine as long as you are lucky enough to get away without the noise that can be created by not using a "proper" isolated supply. Also many digital pedals are power hogs and have high current needs that can't always be covered by a cheap non-isolated supply and daisy chaining. A rechargeable battery power bank is yet another way to go.
