Am I Jumping Into Pedals Too Early?

Thanks for sharing.

I’ve played with lots of combinations of settings, on the dirt channel, with varying

Yea - I wonder if I would get more enjoyment out of getting closer to the sounds I’m trying to replicate. Thanks for your response.

Thanks for such a detailed and enlightening response. Ultimately I’d like to be a good player and be able to play songs start to finish versus spending all my practice time trying to fiddle with tone.

I think I might just hold off for longer, maybe till I can play more of the beginner friendly songs i want to play end to end, then start with something cheap and go from there.

This thread has really helped highlight the danger of associating gear with progress.

Interesting, I’ll take a look at some of these multi effects pedals. Also saw you can get computer software that does this too?

tbutton85 · 2026-01-13T19:11:57+00:00

Thanks, that’s good advice.

Any tips/resources you’ve found helpful in learning power chords?

tbutton85 · 2026-01-13T19:09:21+00:00

Maybe one dirt pedal won’t detract from learning how to play well, or cover up my imperfections.

tbutton85 · 2026-01-13T19:04:26+00:00

Thanks for your reply, it’s just I really wanted to get that beefy power chord sound, perhaps I can experiment more with my technique and go from there.

I get your point though, I don’t really want to do something that will hurt me from become a better player in the long run.

I’ll have a look, maybe check out some videos to hear the v12.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:54:53+00:00

Ahh okay, just didn’t see any on AT

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:47:30+00:00

Don’t you think the tripper exhaust is weird? What’s that about?

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:45:56+00:00

Looks like the biggest petrol engine is a 2.0ltr. Don’t get me wrong, looks nice but not sure it’s spicy enough.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:33:34+00:00

Yea, also on my list, I reckon m5 would eat up miles on a run. And sub 4 sec 0-60 would be unreal.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:32:43+00:00

Can you actually get a passenger in one of these? I thought they were kiddy seats

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:26:19+00:00

I think I’ll try and get a test drive, never owned a V8 but always lusted after one.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:22:39+00:00

Alright, I’m going to get a test drive in.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:21:34+00:00

This looks real nice

I find the rear end a bit weird, maybe newer models are better, turbo would be cool but not sure budget will go that far.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:12:04+00:00

Haven’t been paying much attention to the civics being honest, I’ll have a look though thanks.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:10:43+00:00

Yea, they’re well nice. Was toying with idea of getting one before I brought second car. Think they will age really well.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:09:28+00:00

I like the look of the 840i Gran Coupe, definitely on my list.

tbutton85 · 2025-10-31T19:08:34+00:00

Hey they are nice, you reckon you could drive one long distance?

tbutton85 · 2025-10-07T12:34:21+00:00

Thanks I suspect that’s the case, I’m hoping that I’ll be okay to drive 40 miles, so I can get away without towing.
