What guitar pedals should i get?
Which is better is a very subjective decision. This depends on what your style is, the type of music you play and the sound you are going for. What is best for me may not be best for you. Here’s a rough break down: Overdrive is a less harsh distortion that doesn’t have the crunch of harsher distortions. Think of it as a smooth distortion that is best used for playing rock or even some country if a dirty tone is needed but you don’t want it to be extreme. There are many “flavors” of distortion that all have different characteristics. Metal distortion is very heavy and dirty sounding. Think of it as a harsh distortion. For a clean sound, try a chorus pedal. It doubles your guitar and then detunes the other signal slightly and gives a very lush, full effect. Most music stores have a pedal station to try pedals out. The big chain stores do anyway and that’s the best way to see what all of the different distortions and other effects sound like and do. Only you will know what is right for yo
