The 8 pedal types
Compressor Boss CS-3
With a compressor you will reduce the dynamic range. That is, the differences in volume between the highest and lowest peaks. Thus, the compressor will increase the volume of weak notes and lower the strong ones. It greatly improves live sound.
Overdrive Friedman BE-OD
The Overdrive creates a soft distortion by masking the sound. Ideal and clean for solo, it mimics the classic distortion of a valve amplifier. The Overdrive usually has at least three types of controls: tone, gain and output level.
Modulator MXR Stereo Chorus
With a modulation pedal you can modulate the frequency of the tones. With Chorus for the effect of several guitars, phaser for signal scanning, and Flanger, which becomes an intermediate point between the first two.
Ecualizer MXR EQ
The equalizer pedal allows you to process audio signals. With it you can modify the intensity of all tones. In this way you can reinforce one or another frequency band to your liking, or better adjust the sound of the amplifier.
Booster Vox Flat-4
With a Booster pedal you will be able to raise the sound decibels. The Booster does not make up the sound like an Overdrive does. What it does is saturate the valves or increase the presence. Vox Flat-4 is a full-range valve booster.
Distorsion Dunlop M-104 mxr
A distortion pedal is for those who need a lot of gain, live strength and powerful sound. These types of pedals work much better with transistor amplifiers than valves. In those of valves they usually sound somewhat strident.
Boss DD-3T Delay Effects Pedal
This is undoubtedly the best pedal you can find to create delay effects of up to 6.4 seconds. It includes 40 seconds looper function. The Boss DD-3T model is our highlight of the month of February.
Noise suppressor NS-2
Noise suppression is the best way to get rid of the electrical disturbances of the signal that your guitar sends to the amplifiers. This way we can clean interference and sound cleaner, if we want to.
The 3 amplifier types
Transistors
They are usually the cheapest and those with the lowest maintenance costs. Transistors use solid state technology to function. At the same time, they are lighter and can usually connect to the computer and have presets. As a defect, you will get less power and less quality.
Our choice: Fender Mustang I V2
Twelve inches, 20 W and possibility of connection to the computer to edit and record presets. Best price.
Hybrid
Hybrid amplifiers mix valve technology with transistor technology: they are at an ideal midpoint. They look for the natural and warm tone of the valves and, at the same time, seek to reduce the costs and maintenance problems associated with valve amplifiers.
Our choice: Vox Vt40x
40 W that combine a new and sophisticated modeling technology together with a previous multi-stage valve.
Valve
Valve amplifiers work with vacuum tubes (valves or bulbs). They tend to be more resistant when we increase the volume. They allow to give more cane. At the same time, they offer higher quality than transistor amplifiers. In saturated and distorted sounds, but also in clean sounds.
Our choice: Fender Blues Junior III
30 W of power (equivalent to about 70 of a transistor ampli). Pure sound power and Fender quality.
Tuning & tempo
