  1. Digitech îs responsible for keeping me away from modelers for years. I forget which RP I had, but it was both the worst sounding and most fiddly box I ever owned. I didn't try a modeler again until the Pod HD500X. That one was fiddly, but there were great sounds in there, so it was the gateway drug to the Helix that I traded the HD500x for. I've primarily played the Helix for over 3 years now and it ended my chronic GAS for the latest greatest pedal. There are a ridiculous number of options for just about any effect you can think of available in the Helix and they keep adding new ones in free software upgrades. I haven't bought a piece of gear since the Helix.

  2. Do you think you understand modulation pedals? Or want to know more about them? Or starting out with pedals and don't understand the category, "modulation pedals". This video is for you. Actually, if you are early in L&MG and starting to think about pedals, and starting down that "rabbit hole" we call tone, there's nothing wrong with jumping ahead to session 15, "Electric Guitars - The Heart of Rock & Roll". At least I don't think there is anything wrong with doing so. In addition to the excellent lesson on power chords and everything else that makes R&R, Steve goes into a section he calls "Guitar Effects". Here he discusses distortion, chorus, delay and reverb. Or, if you have started your pedal board, or are ready to, you need to study Steve's video on how to do just that, How to Build an Electric Guitar Pedalboard. So much information for only $15. But now you want to know more about modulation? As I said, this video is for you. I don't think there is any more nebulous group of pedals than the modulation one. We all know the chorus as a representative member of this group. And it's one of the first pedals to go on most of our boards. But what about tremolo, vibrato, rotary, phaser, flanger? Josh Scott, of JHS Pedals, goes through all the different categories and types of modulation pedals. And he does it in historical order, adding a little historical insight with each, making it even more interesting. And he does it with his usual tongue-in-cheek humor. If you are getting started on your (addictive?) journey on pedals and tone I'm confident this is going to add to your knowledge of modulation.

  3. Yes, it is a good review. But I have taken a different path after falling into the pedal board "Rabbit Hole". I am a firm believer in the Multi effects processors (Personally, I use the Boss ME-80). If you wish to have that certain sound for a song that you are learning, find a patch for the song, save it and with a couple of clicks on the foot switch, bingo! Building a pedal board gets very expensive vs a multi effects processor which will have more sounds than you could ever use. Henk
