Pedals, baby.

[MisterLutherMan]

I've just bought my first few pedals. They are;

Donner reverb pedal, 
Joyo D-Seed delay pedal
Standard volume pedal

Can't wait to break into them!

What pedals do you favour/ love using?

Congrats, man!! Pedals are a super fun way to expand your musical palette.

So far, my favorite pedals are the Dunlop Classic Cry Baby Wah, The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay and the Suhr Eclipse OD/Distortion pedal. I use the Suhr for more Texas Blues type stuff, and use the distortion in the Amp I have (Blackstar HT Club 40 MkII) for lead tones with the Delay. The Amp has two distortion voicings, one more for rhythm playing, and the other for lead tones.

I am waiting on a Compression pedal, though, and am very much looking forward to hearing how it smooths out my clean tones. It's called the Chellee Compy, and I bought it based on a demo by Pete Thorn on YouTube.

Cool pedals, brother! Enjoy!

For (electro-)acoustic guitar in a live situation I pretty much always use this little setup above. The Bodyrez is a single-knob combined compressor and EQ and the reverb gets adjusted according to how reverberant the room is.

Pedals are their own form of madness.  My analog board currently includes: Cry Baby Mini Wah, Fulltone 70's Fuzz, MXR Red Comp, EHX Soul Food OD, Wampler Euphoria OD, Fulltone Deja Vibe, Mooer Orange 90 Phaser, MXR 70's Chorus, TC Flashback Delay an iSP Decimator Noise Clamp and a RC-3 Looper.  I've had a few other OD's and distortions swapped in an out over time.  

I'm now playing a modeler (Helix LT) that includes models of just about every iconic pedal out there which has more or less put my pedal obsession in remission.

I realized early on that learning to play a guitar and then playing a few songs come at a cost. The constant GAS to help improve your limited skills, making the sound much improved is always lurking. Left unchecked I'm sure that I could easily empty my bank account. So in the pursuit of a favorable sound at a reasonable cost, I have three pedals, a Boss RC-3 Loop Station, Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustainer and a Zoom  MS-50G Multi Effects (still learning).

These three pedals give me everything I could possibly need and like Six String it keeps my obsessions in check.

Awesome! Have you got any music uploaded? I'd like to listen to some

There does seem to be so many pedals you can buy, each of which would give you a little more expansion in the sounds you can get. It sounds like you're doing well in not obsessively spending on loads of pedals. 

I think you can get so much out of your limits. Setting limits helps me to find out what I can do with what I've got, and work around any obstacles with more of a creative mind, rather than buying more pedals to solve the issue.

Yes, sir! I have a YouTube Channel, "Old Guy's Guitar Vlog" where I play a good bit. I'm constantly evolving my channel, and am getting much more comfortable playing in front of a camera, too. I'm also getting better on the recording end, as I used to record all digital, but went back to amps recently, and never recorded with a two mic set up before. The first few times I recorded myself, the signal was way too hot and there is some clipping noted. Love and learn!

I just sold the Blackstar, and am waiting on a new amp, but am about to put up a video soon of a demo of the Compression pedal I got.
