i just recently started playin guitar about 2 and a half months ago. I've been learning some basics slowly as i don't have time or money to get lessons, even tho i definitely would if i could.
So far, i bought 2 danelectro pedals, the crappy looking plastic ones, jsut to get an idea of how to use some pedals as i have never used them before in my life. I got the chorus and 7-band eq one. Fun to play around with, not i think they sound great for the price, just gotta be careful when using them because the case is just made out of hard plastic pretty much. These two sound good, i tried a few others from this company, but a lot of them don't sound good to me. These 2 were the ones i think sounded good, and they were cheap so it was a cost effective way to experiment with some pedals.
I also bought a boss tr-2 tremolo pedal just last week, i've played around with it for a little while, i like it so far, i'm gonna have to use it some more and get better acquainted with it in the next couple of weeks.
Crybaby wah pedal is probably what i'm going to look into next.
As far as power supply, i just got my spot1 power supply today. It allows you to hook up 8 pedals at once from one ac adapter, it even comes with adapters so you can hook up all different kind of pedals to it from different manufacturers. I haven't tried it yet, but i will later today and i will let post here on my experience with it.
