Birthday effects!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

My b-day is coming up soon, but don't know what to get! What effects should i get? What pedalboards are good? I already have a Big Muff Pi and a Dunlop Wah. Nothing over $200 though.

Thx

Koi

Pedaltrain makes good pedalboards, but you need your own power supply.

Phaser?
Overdrive?
Chorus?
Distortion?
Octaver?

hmm?

Noise gate?

Personally I think it's a little premature to look into getting a professional pedalboard if your only gonna have 3 or 4 pedals...that is unless you're gigging a lot and need the durability. You can make something reasonable with a piece of wood and some velcro.

As for effects to check out: flanger, phaser, chorus, distortion, envelope filter etc. There are loads of nice pedals well within your price range.
