Pedals

While most of us start off just plugged straight into our guitar amp, perhaps using some built in reverb or even turn up the gain to provide some overdrive, eventually we enter the realm of the guitar pedal. Designed to manipulate your guitar signal, effect pedals range from those that provide subtle tonal changes to huge sounds.
