Episode 11- The Wizards of Sound





Hello people around the world! I know I haven’t blogged for a while (for those who care) Well, that’s cause I bought me a Reverb pedal – Tech 21 Boost RVB and it’s been taking up all my time, it’s so magical!

Buying pedals was the best decision I ever made. I had a Zoom G2.1u, I had a lot of fun with it but because of its limitations I started thinking of more professional gear. The Zoom gave me a lot- it taught me to think in terms of sounds and not just notes. As a Rock guitarist, I think it is very important to develop your own sound and I’ve heard from professional guitarists that pedals help you to achieve that distinct sound.

Ever wondered how Hendrix, Brian May, Tom Morello, The Edge have such a broad and deep sound? It’s their pedals plus loads of talent. The only downside with pedals is Money! (It’s a gas) There are so many pedals you need to buy and each brand offers a unique sound. It’s not enough to buy just one distortion pedal, same with Overdrive pedals- the variety helps you to experiment and explore a whole new horizon of sounds.
The last word is pedals are a rewarding experience.

Slash said in an interview that he has a bathtub full of pedals… it will be a while before I get there!



Oh! For a few dollars more!
