Full Version: Pedal For Electric Guitar?
Forums > Viva Network > Viva Strings

Our soon-to-be 14 yr old son remarked last year that for his birthday, he'd love a pedal for his electric guitar.

Any idea what he means? Do they just distort the sound or are there different types?

Recommendations? All advice appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve

There are loads of different types. It creates special effects on the guitar. I'm not an electric guitarist so wouldn't presume to know what's best. There's an article on wiki that might help.

I don't really have much exprience with electric guitars, but if I were you I'd go to your local music store and ask them for help. Tell them how long your sons been playing, and what guitar he uses and they should point you in the right direction. smile.gif

Hope this might help!
