What pedals should a beginner have?

For a beginner, a selection of some of the most commonly used effects would be ideal. An overdrive or distortion, a delay, a modulation pedal like a phaser or a flanger and a reverb pedal will get you started towards a large amount of the sounds you'll hear on records.

Do beginner guitarists need pedals?

While you don't need pedals in order to learn the guitar, sometimes having access to a pedal to recreate THAT sound form your favourite song or record goes a long way to helping you understand the instrument more.

How do I choose a guitar pedal for beginners?

It begins with knowing what sound you want. More distortion? try an overdrive or distortion pedal. Discreet echoes and repeats, or that big hall like ambience? That's delay and reverb! Then look through our huge selection of great effects with an eye to your budget, and you're sure to find something to suit! If you need more help, ask one of our great shop staff or the online chat for more advice.

How much should a beginner spend on guitar pedals?

There's no set minimum or maximum! Brands like Landlord effects allow you to pick up great effects without breaking the bank.
