While there's much to love about the right guitar plugged right into an amp with nothing in between, there's an equal amount to love with just the right spice sprinkeled on top. Pedals are where you start to shape things. A little more gain, a little more space— a sound that’s yours. Some you leave on all the time, others you step on when the moment calls for it. It’s not about having a lot, it’s about finding the few that make everything else click.
