The First 4 Pedals you need

[@craiger2399]

I've owned at least fifty pedals, but I move them on regularly when I find I'm not (or can't imagine) using them. I have just under twenty pedals now that are in active rotation (during the epic concerts I play for roommate's my cat).

[@goodandbadtimes]

Y'got me. Good one.

[@JustSomeGuy]

I started off with the Boss ME-80 multi-effects pedal board just to get a sense of what I liked. It didn't match what I got from my Boss Katana, so I got the Boss GT-1000 a few months ago. It's awesome because of all the options, but it had two drawbacks: 1) only one master reverb pedal, so I couldn't layer reverbs together, and 2) the overdrives, like Capt. Lee said, weren't perfect, except of the Boss pedals. So I ended up buying the Durple, the Russian Big Muff, Hall of Fame, and Flashback so I could layer things like I wanted. I don't think I'll get too deep into gear addiction with pedals because I don't like having things that do the same thing. I'd want each pedal to be unique.

[@robertpurdy4452]

Interesting, I have an ME-80 and a couple of Katanas (50W and Artist) and I like how the ME-80 works with them. I have a couple of extra pedals I use along with it too. Everyone has their own thing, right?

[@JustSomeGuy]

@@robertpurdy4452 I like the Tone Studio editor on the Katana because it gives more options, and that's one that works with the GT-1000. You can also change the pedal order and add it to the effects loop, which was another thing I wanted to play with, but couldn't with the ME-80.

[@anthonysloanmusic]

Loving this type of content Rob!! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@josephferrio9427]

Another great no-nonsense video with the right number of pedals to start with. Also, excellent demonstration of each pedal and a culmination of all of them together.

[@fenrirskeane2420]

I own 5 pedals. Boss Chorus Ensemble, Electro-harmonix turnip greens, Beringer Ultra Gain, Caline Noise Gate, and a MXR mini Comp.

[@jasonwalsh7921]

Hey Rob good clip... most of my pedal buying happened 1983-85 so I had Boss HM mk1, Flanger mk2, Stereo Phaser mk2, Octave mk1 also a Front line chorus & delay pedals and a crybaby..all good classic pedals from back in the day. Then in the 90’s it all became multi-Fx floor boards for years... now a days I keep it simple and jam night friendly with a few of the little tone city pedals on a board and it’s job done 🎸👍🏼🙂

[@D.Miller]

I'm pretty sure if Chappers pedalboard consisted of a flip flop, Tinky Winky the Teletubby and a pillow he'd be able to make it sound great

[@lauscho]

My first pedal was a multi-effect. Digitech RP200A. Definitely gave me an idea of what effects I liked most. In my opinion, the first four pedals a guitarist should have: - A tuner, because DUH - A good drive pedal, but only if you're going for a metal tone. Distortion on your amp is great but if you're going for that super high-gain, tight boosted tone, even just a basic Tube Screamer clone of some sort will completely sort you out. - A delay pedal. The reason most of your favourite guitar solos and leads sound so EPIC is because they have delay on them and it's a natural choice for any guitarist's first pedalboard. - Controversially, a chorus pedal. Clean tones are good on their own and all, but chorused clean tones have so much more depth to them, and if you really want your clean tones to sound deep and wide... chorus pedal (or a phaser) will absolutely get you there. Looks like your choices are pretty close... you got a tuner and drive. Wah is another great choice, but I'd replace reverb with delay, because a good delay can almost sort of act like a reverb in the right settings. You get the best of both worlds.

[@unclejj509]

Hey Rob, I really enjoy all of your content with the Captain and now your solo stuff as well! I've just started playing again and I find your videos to be very motivating. Keep up the good work man!!!

[@jeffleecust]

I’m addicted to Electro Harmonics. As Pete is accidentally proving in the new Anderson’s blind pedal challenges, almost everything they make is awesome and affordable.

[@Briansgate]

yep, its really interesting. the EHX pedals are just killin' it.

[@scottrevell3622]

I've owned a Boss TU-2 for more than 20 years, and it still works flawlessly. I use it to power the rest of my pedals, because it is a power supply, as well. Love your channel!

[@rjb7260]

LOL! Yes well said "Gear Addiction is a real disease and it NEVER ends" .. Brilliant! love your channel thanks Rob!

“Hello welcome to Pedals Anonymous. Would you like to share.” Me; “Ahem. Hi, my name is Dave. I own more than 50 pedals.” Other; “Thank you Dave. You have already taken the first step. The next step is to buy another guitar.”

[@phil.willoughby]

I got my ML1 Pro Hybrid yesterday (same colourway as Chappers has here). It's amazing. Out of the box I used a strobe tuner and the most out of tune string was 2 cents off. I could literally have taken it out of the box and stepped on stage without touching it. This is a guitar with a trem bridge that was air-freighted from the UK to Seattle via a central US snowstorm. I have fixed-bridge guitars that are more out of tune after 1 day in my house. I don't know if the setup was from the factory or done by Andertons, but either way it's spot-on. I chose it over the American Ultra Deluxe strat because I preferred the body finish and lack of plate on the neck. I couldn't be happier!

[@michael.davides]

The TU-2 is legendary. It was the first pedal I bought as a kid and all my friends made fun of me for spending $100+ on something that made no sounds. Funny enough, it is the only pedal I have kept since my early days and still lives on my board to this very day. 15 years, never failed me once. More perks of the TU-2: 1) Can power extra pedals with the "through" 9v power port 2) The Boss switch is silent and doesn't require pin-point accuracy when pressing on a dark stage. Very forgiving. This is a great attribute for the pedal that you will be turning on/off the most.

[@jwalkrr]

a couple years ago i built my first pedalboard with just an mxr 6 band eq, a wampler plexi drive, and an mxr carbon copy delay and it sounded so good and did everything i wanted for a long time! but about 3 weeks ago i decided i was finally ready for a REAL pedalboard, and went on a crazy shopping spree lol. now my current board has (in order): tuner, compressor, 6 band eq, wampler dual fusion v2, plexi drive, 10 band eq, noise gate, pitch shifter (to play 'bass' lines in the looper lol), chorus, carbon copy, then finally a boss rc5 looper! all the pedals that i didnt mention brands are donner brand for now, until i can afford to go back and replace them with brands that i really like of the same type of effect. that being said the donner brands all sound awesome! i was actually really surprised how good they sound, and the tuner has a really nice display thats super easy to read in the dark, that and the 10 band eq are the only pedals i dont plan on replacing with wampler, keely, mxr equivalents. I havent experimented yet with running a few things in the loop yet but ill definitely do that soon!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I own and use 82 pedals and I use everyone to cover my 24 tunes live. They are on two linked boards but wired to a switcher using 4 switches. On a tune I do not change just a pedal but in effect I change boards. Each of the 4 channels have in its a compressor, dirt pedals, gate, modulation fx, delay and reverb etc. The idea is to create the sound of a Post produced recording but live. It is very effective in creating very dynamic ...dare I say dramatic changes live. In a 3 piece power trio without a second guitarist or keys it makes a big difference.

[@jflemi00]

Rob, Might I suggest soldering in a brighter LED in the Tube Screamer? I went with green in mine, but any color will do. A quick Google search will net you an infinite number of options for specifications. Have fun! Keep up the good work.

[@daviddiebold7357]

Some suggest the fading led contributes to the sound. Voltages and some such on the board.

[@jflemi00]

@@daviddiebold7357 I can't say I notice any difference.

[@M_T_F_96]

I've got the screamer mini and I used tippex, rubbed off the excess to fill in the volume and tone nob pointers just makes it a lot easier to see where they're set. A little tip-Ex for you all 😉

[@MRSGU032459]

I easily have more than 50 pedals. It's fun experimenting with them. Mixing and matching them to get different tones is how I justify having so many. Pedal and watches are my weakness. Great job Rob.

[@davidpowers9023]

I just subscribed because I've watched a least a dozen of your fun & informative YT posts and that's usually my criteria. For me: no wah pedal on the floor or whammy on my guitars - just my preference/style. Three pedals: Vintage Ibanez TS7 that I bought new (so that means I'm vintage as well) in between guitar & amp and a MXR Carbon Copy followed by DigiTech JamMan Solo in the FX loop. None of this is mounted on a pedal board.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I own about 9 pedals including a Boss OD-1X Overdrive (my main gain/drive pedal), a DS-1 Distortion, CH-1 Chorus Ensemble, BF-3 Flanger, TR-2 Tremolo, CS-3 Compressor Sustainer (yes I have a lot of Boss pedals, I've always liked their stuff), an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (my go-to fuzz pedal), an MXR Phase 90 and a Cry Baby wah, I've obviously switched them out from time to time whenever I want to change them up and I definitely love all of them

[@snakeplissken6649]

First guitar was a Slash Epiphone (starter set with amp) so has a built in tuner so didn't need one. So i started off like this. Got a Durple & Wild Fro coz you get a power supply when you get 2 tone city pedals. Next up was a Kirk Hammet Wah, well he is notorious for it after all & a Slash octave fuzz. So there's my first 4 pedals. Then for no 5 just because i saw Chappers review one here i got a Delayrian because it looked cool AF. Now i've got other guitars a tuner is planned for the near future to replace the headstock one i've been using. Keep up these videos Chappers. For somebody like me i find then very useful.

[@TheGhostGuitars]

I don't have 50 pedals...yet. *But* I _do_ have about 30 pedals. They're mostly the Ibanez Series-7 pedals with the Ton-Loc feature. They include the SM-7 Smashbox, TS-7 Tubescreamer, CF-7 Chorus/Flanger, DE-7 Delay/Echo, PD-7 Phat-Hed Bass Overdrive (basically a Tubescreamer that has extended range to handle bass frequencies)and the recently-acquired AW-7 Autowah. I also have the MT-2 Metal Zone and the TU-3 Tuner from BOSS. Behringer are represented by VD1 Vintage Distortion/Sustainer, VP1 Vintage Phaser, and 2 (two) VT999 Vintage Tube Monster. I don't use the VP1 much (I already have the CF-7, which is more compact and more useful), but the two VT999 each has a different tube in it and thus sounds/reacts differently. I use the VD1 more as a clean boost/compressor/sustainer. I have 2 (two) DigiTech JMEXTV JamMan Express XT Looper pedals that has been synced together. I use one for my main guitar and the other one for the backing instrument(s) (2 basses, ukulele or another guitar, all electrics). Oh and I very occasionally throw in an old DigiTech Grunge in front of the TS-7, as that's the only way I could get a sorta-decent sound out of it. Finally, for reverb I just use the real physical plate or spring reverb in my amps. ;) I typically use my pedals in two groups into two amps for a wet/dry setup. The drives/distortions/fuzzes into the bigger one whilest the modulation and effects goes into the other one.

[@davidjameschamberlain]

Over my entire life, I have owned 138 different effects boxes, (not including the couple of rack units I've had) all that has made me realize is that regardless of which of those many boxes I've owned, I still sound like myself. Some effects have inspired me more than others, and those are the ones that stayed on my board. I find that I'm happy using a phaser, a wah, a couple of drives and a delay pedal, if I need anything out of my usual main stuff, I just dial it in on my HX Stomp. Long story short, get the pedals that inspire you to play more

[@andrewmarsh3094]

Tuner, Korg Pitch Black Route 66 V2 for compression and overdrive Little Big Muff Pi for Fuzz Old Mxr Time Delay Need a Wah maybe reverb. I also run a Fender Mustang Floor multi effect. Really awesome multi effect with xlr outs so I can straight to the board if I want.

[@davedavem]

Excellent timing Mr Chapman! I just went from 6 to 9 pedals this morning after buying 3 off a friend. Pedal board beckons!

[@adriancummings3625]

Hi Rob great content on your channel just wanted to say I was watching the clip you did with Andertons the shoot out Black star silver line and Boss Katana 100 since seeing your setting I'm pushing the middle more on my katana 50 it sounds more where I'm happiest with my tone thanks Rob

[@ImprobableJoe]

I really like the Earthquaker Dispatch Master, it's really nice. I don't have 50 pedals now, but I've owned over 100 over the years. A lot of the stuff I'm using now contain more than one effect. Keeley pedals do that, the Dispatch Master, and my favorite drive pedal ever the JHS AT+ with has a TS boost in front of a brilliant distortion circuit that goes into smooth feedback in a gorgeous way.

[@josefmartinez7097]

I own well over 50 pedals! Some of them I like so much I bought multiples (3 or more)... DOD FX-55a, DOD FX-55b, DOD-FX20a, Ibanez Metal Screamer. I was able to consolidate my board quite a bit by acquiring both the JHS Bonsai and Mufalletta.

Ken: That's not something a pedal can do. What you need is a cranked Marshall SLP1959 ("Plexi") and two 4x12's. You'll be deaf in 4.61 seconds and you'll never again notice your mistakes. 😄

[@ryancampbell5246]

I have a Dunlop CGB95 original wah, an Ampeg Liquifier chorus and a landlord effects whisky chaser distortion. My distortion sounds awesome especially with pinched harmonics. I can get all my other tones from my amp because I have a Blackstar which have lots of effects and also there is the Blackstar insider software which I can get even more tones from.

[@rubentrevino6288]

Everyone you presented is spot on, well-done

[@lespauldisciple3349]

How many here guessed pedal #1 being a tuner? My recommendations.. (I've only been playing since 1979 so feel free to disagree.) #1 MXR Phase 95 (a combined Phase 90 & Phase 45 with switches to toggle between '90' & '45', and between "Script" & "Block Logo" settings.) #2 MXR Distortion +. Used by Rhoads ('Blizzard...' & 'Diary...') & Lifeson ('Hemispheres', 'Permanent Waves' & 'Moving Pictures') Need I say more? (No.) #3 Boss DD-8 Digital Delay. The newest Boss delay, it is truly THE Dig-it-all Delay. #4 Morley Steve Vai Bad Horsie Wah, 1st version. (I've played Vox & Dunlop wah pedals. I prefer the 1st incarnation of the BH Wah.) #5 MXR UniVibe. #6 Boss TR-2 Tremolo #7 MXR Classic 108 Fuzz #8... Oh yeah, right. Just four pedals. WHO STOPS AT FOUR?

I didn’t realise at the time but I was incredibly lucky to have a crybaby way as my first pedal.

[@guitartiz]

I have never had 50 pedals all at once, but I’m pretty sure that over the years I’ve bought around 50 different pedals. I’m actually quite pedal poor at the moment, because I pretty much started over a few years ago, due to financial issues, but I started building it back up the last couple of years. I currently have a Fuzz Factory, a Keeley modded crybaby, a reissue Big Muff OpAmp, a Memory Boy, and a Boss volume pedal ( it counts.) I really only use them in the studio, it’s just easier to go Axe-FX for live, for many reasons.

[@DennysPlantBasedJourney]

yep, more than 50, and I agree with the basic pedals to get started... and to continue playing for that matter.

Depends what you are playing, I rarely use any pedals, just more crap to go wrong, forget, trip over, set wrong, get nicked etc, better to have a decent amp and a backup. I have a pedal board only for doing looping acoustic stuff, but Guitar, choice of Marshall, 100W Katana or Vox Amps do the Job.

I do own around 50 pedals and never ever had an original tubescreamer. Although, I do own Kokko Overdrive which I believe is a clone of TS-9. Also, I have owned a digitech bad monkey for as long as I remember and really like that pedal. Marshall in a box pedals is something on which my number of pedals is achieved. Everything from a low gain jtm type all the way to screamin' modern marshall sounds in a pedal is something I have G.A.S. for.

i only have one pedal at the moment. its a walrus audio fathom reverb, and i love it. i have no real intention of owning more than 50 pedals, but i am sure i'll wind up with a lot of them eventually. gonna spring for the stryfecta i think though which will cover a lot of ground. other than that, some fuzz, and various distortions, and overdrives, i don't see need for much more than that although i love the look of your snake oil pedal line. they look so cool, very steam punk, old west kind of vibe to the look, and they sound pretty good to boot as well.

Chappers, you said that anything that adds gain should go in the front of the amp, but I wanted to make it known and ask you especially since I saw you and the captain talk so bad about the Boss Metal Zone have you ever ran it into the loop of your amp I watched Ola's video on it where he ran a Metal Zone into the loop it actually sounds amazing!!! I've heard so much B.S. about how bad they sound but I think it's because everyone runs them in the front of the amp and it should be used as a preamp instead. Also you ended the video with a "Southpaw Salute out of solidarity" cause you haven't forgotten about us lefty's but I have been trying to find out if there is a left handed Chapman guitar, I messaged the contact us page a while back but still haven't got a reply to my question

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Tube Screamer: My very first pedal was an Ibanez PD7 Phat Hed. It was a two-channel overdrive/distortion. The overdrive channel straight-up was a Tube Screamer, and the distortion channel was a cheap alternative to a RAT, which was VERY important to us teenagers who could not afford a real RAT. Anyway, the PD7 was marketed as a bass pedal, but it was great for guitar if you knew how to set the switches correctly. It faithfully served for 20 years. And then I made the mistake of selling it to buy a Matthews Effects Harbinger....Rick Matthews later sold the company, which is why I no longer associate with Mathews Effects. I VERY MUCH wish I had my PD7 back. I don't want ANOTHER PD7, because that would not be the same. I want MY PD7.... Tuner: My second pedal was the Boss TU-2. It faithfully served all the way until the WAZA TU-3 came along, which has been on my board ever since. And yes, I do have the switch set on true bypass. Anyway, I sold that TU-2 to a buddy. He later took it off his board, because it has a battery life of about AN HOUR. One of these days, let's hope he learns how to use a power supply....You really should be using a power supply anyway, because you will quickly spend that much money on batteries anyway, and changing batteries is annoying. Wah: I HATE wah. I have never liked wah, and I have no use for a wah. Reverb: Back in the late 90s, I bought one of those Arion reverbs. Back then, Arion pedals were made of cheap plastic, so the foot switch broke ON THE FIRST SONG. I immediately took it back to the shop, and demanded my money back. I didn't get another reverb for more than 20 years, until I got a Matthews Effects Astronomer, THE ORIGINAL VERSION, built by Rick Matthews himself. Nowadays, even though I no longer associate with Matthews Effects, I do still have that Astronomer on my board, because I love it so much. Shimmer reverb is my thing, and I have yet to find a shimmer reverb quite as good as that original Astronomer.

A second hand gt-8 is a good investment even today, i got a gt-pro as an upgrade, when i transitioned to playing in stereo. Using a 20w h&k + 50w vx, and a tt in the tuner out. But the thing is, all i use the processor is for the stereo capabilities, and i have the fx 1&2 set to adv compressors, with the regular compressor in there aswell, and a tube screamer od (that acts like a compressor). Those all have on off pedals, and both amps have dirt and clean channels on pedals, and the compressors are in different positions in the fx loop. So have to disagree with you on this one. A compressor is all you need for a decent tone from any amp, including the shit 15w, a tube screamer works only for tube amps. ap tuner and a laptop, wah is cool but not that useful. Delay should be done in post imho xD

Rob, what if you have a built in dual spring reverb what do you recommend for a good delay to couple with it? And does it matter where you place these in your chain of effects? I have always used multi-effects processors and while they are okay from the standpoint of convenience I find that analog effects have more dynamic character than digitally replicated effects.

Rob, you do know that, if you know someone who can use a soldering iron, you can change out that LED on the TS with one that can be seen, don't you?

I bought a Zoom G3XN and a decent little overdrive and that seems to cover everything I need

I assume at some point I'll hit a limit with this gear, but it isn't yet

I know this is about separate pedals but quick question would you put a multi FX through FX loop or the front? As can't split the delays reverb chorus and so on and just have them through FX loop

[@guitarguts666]

I've got a Preamp Live that I want to turn into a backup rig with the BabyBomb30. What do you think of that Rob? Maybe a some mini chorus, delay and harmonizer pedals in the loop of that and rock off.

I most definitely own more than 50 pedals! 👍😄🍷
