With all of the pedals that are available to the electric guitar, it might be difficult to know what to get for you instrument. Check out this list popular guitar pedals that can really make things easier and get the crowd impressed by your electric guitar skills.
1. The Wah effects Pedals can give you a sound like the 60s or 70s. If you’ve heard a good deal of guitar sounds from the 60s and 70s then you must be familiar with the electric tone of the wah pedal. The wah pedal has a way of messing with the pitches and bending them up and down while still keeping your notes in tune with the song.
2. The Noise gate Pedals gets rid of unwanted fuzz in the background. You might have a guitar amplifier that shoots out tons of distortion and it’s becoming unruly. Get yourself a noise gate in order to silence the hum or hiss that’s in the background when you switch to your electric distortion channel.
3. Always have a tuner to check your pitches on stage. Guitars are always going out of tune when you don’t want them to, and one of those times is bound to be when you’re on stage. Buy a foot pedal version of a tuner so you can tune your electric guitar in between each song in your set.
4. Use a Compressor Pedals to balance your strumming and give more attack. Sometimes guitarists get into the habit of strumming too hard on certain parts in a song and leave your ears bleeding because the sound guy doesn’t know how to compensate. If you suspect that’s you, try a compression pedal for your guitar and save some of the ears in the crowd.
5. You can get more Distortion Pedals with an overdrive pedal. Maybe your electric amplifier just isn’t supplying you with enough distortion for your guitar, but you don’t have the money to get a new one. An overdrive distortion pedal can solve that by adding smooth and powerful distortion to your tone at the click of a button.
6. Be your own band with a loop pedal. There are many famous guitarists that love to go on stage with a loop pedal, play all their own riffs, and go into crazy soloing sections overtop and get the whole crowd roaring. See if a loop pedal is what you want for your electric guitar show. You might not need your band anymore!
