Questions shoppers ask first

Which pedal should I buy first?+

A tuner (non-negotiable), then an overdrive — it's the sound of rock, blues and country, and it teaches you how pedals shape tone.

What order do pedals go in?+

A solid default: tuner → drive/distortion → modulation (chorus, phaser) → delay → reverb. Rules are made to be broken later.

Individual pedals or a multi-effects unit?+

Multi-effects are unbeatable value and great for discovering what you like; individual pedals sound and feel more inspiring once you know.
