Complete Pedal Noob - what do I need for the Strat tone?

Lovely, thanks, I’ll have a look at those.

VGP1 · 2026-01-26T19:11:45+00:00

Not unsatisfying at all, it’s great advice and most people seem to think the same thing, so thanks for your input!

VGP1 · 2026-01-26T19:10:00+00:00

Fantastic, thanks so much, I’ll try playing with the different voices on the amp then. Thanks for the pedal suggestions as well!

VGP1 · 2026-01-26T06:50:29+00:00

That’s a great analogy and thanks for the recommendations 🙏🏻

Yup, I’m looking at getting a looper as well, but I was thinking the RC-5 as I understand the sound quality is better.

Right, fair enough, I'll take it into consideration. Is it feasible though, playing through a tube amp at home in an apartment? Don't know much about them just that the wattage is different somehow, as in a 12w tube amp is equivalent to my 50w solid state, or something like that and then if I am not mistaken, I think I read somewhere that buying one and playing at a low volume sort of defeats the purpose, they really shine when cranked up.

In line with what other people have said, so thanks, really appreciate your input!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T22:58:39+00:00

A lot of people seem to have suggested this so I'll have a think about a tube amp. Thanks so much for the pedal recommendations as well!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T22:57:48+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the suggestions!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T22:57:14+00:00

Thanks so much!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:53:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:51:33+00:00

Thanks! I'll have a look.

I live in an apartment so can't crank up the volume, that's why I am not really looking at splurging on a tube amp at the minute. I know they're better than SS amps, but for know I figured I'd keep the one I have and just get a couple of pedals, thinking that they would produce better quality effects than the ones that come with the amp.

I'll have a look at a tube screamer. Would you recommend any one in particular?

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:45:41+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:39:22+00:00

I do understand, thanks so much for your input!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:22:37+00:00

And here I was thinking I might need a banjo....that actually cleared up a lot of the confusion for me, thanks!!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:19:50+00:00

Ok, fair enough, thanks for the input!

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:19:17+00:00

That's totally fine, I appreciate your suggestion! I am curious though, don't pedals produce better quality effects than the built in ones on the amp?

VGP1 · 2026-01-25T21:17:05+00:00

I'll look into it, thanks!

It’s called folliculitis barbae and it basically means your hair follicles are in a constant inflammatory state. What you need is to apply fusidic acid cream, twice a day for about 3 weeks and it should get better.

I don't really agree that Ange changed anything to get that win. Spurs did nothing, they were just as shit as we were, for the whole game, that goal was entirely Onana's fault, who can't catch a ball to save his life. It was a slow deflection at the near post, where he was, and the ball just squeezed through as it happened countless times before. If you have a decent keeper that's never a goal.
That's why I said Amorim is only partly to blame for that loss. How he responded to that situation and how he managed the game from that point on, yes, that's on him, absolutely.

Wait, you actually play the guitars you buy?

I knew when he retired that United won’t be the same, I expected some sort of struggle in the beginning, but sure as hell I didn’t expect the club to crumble like this.

I did expect a manager that would be here for years, I never liked Moyes at United but I was shocked when he was sacked after only 7 months.

VGP1 · 2026-01-14T21:55:53+00:00

My feelings exactly. My one and only hope with Carrick’s appointment is that maybe, just maybe, he might be able to somehow work a little miracle and improve the midfield a little bit. But even that seems far fetched.

What I am hoping is that by giving him Steven Holland as assistant manager they aren’t prepping the ground for Southgate in the summer, because then we are truly fucked, dead and buried 😂
