My friend asked me to help him build his set of pedals and I obliged. Though its been a while since I last played with my guitar, the rig used for certain type of music remains the same and only few additions has emerged only to enhance what is missing from past pedal predecessors. I gave him a list and made reference to one particular item that he should have and even with a little budget he can save on wampler ego at musician’s friend where even for a first time guitar player, the difference is huge. In comparisson with his first choice, a multi-effects board, analog pedals remain the top build for a rig because it solidifies the output and of course, its much more interesting to see a set of analog pedals rather than a board. I’m not sure if he bought the items in the list I’ve given him but I already saw his guitar posted on facebook and that is a good start.
