just buy those cheap behringers for starters...cheap and sounds ok...so when u think u wanna go further, invest in some better names...

or go for all those cheap zoom multifx...i'm sure those have all the basic necessary effects you'd ever need all boxed in one...the new model should be just around rm300+...i forgot...

a great starter is to see what ur fav band plays.. like if u like blink 182.. see wat tom delonge has.. then maybe work ur way up for the single pedal... and i bet u will like it.. if not.. then other pedal lor.. can test in shops rite

icic.. thats very practical.. That would definitely be the correct pedal i want (based on my fav band, but i doubt i can afford wat they are using.

Cheap Behringers? can giv me some model numbers? so i can research.

To Me, I think a first pedal should ALWAYS be a multi-FX pedal.... that way, they can experiment with different sounds before they can finally affoard to buy a single effect setup.

I bought a Zoom 505 (Which I still think is a great first Mutli-FX pedal) as my first pedal, and haven't regret it since. Maybe, if I had a bit more budget last time, I would get one with an expression pedal, which I would recommend now.... My a ToneWorks or the new Zoom with the expression pedal.... Then, once you get to know your setup better..... start investing in single pedals and build your own sound..

Sweet. Wats the price for the Zoom 505 now? and how about one with an expression pedal, what would it cost around? Is it still good, or already obsolete?

I think it's called the Zoom G2.1u now.......... Not sure how much it costs... I think Zeroelite bought a Zoom 2.1u recently also.... Find out from him...

the g-serie are modellers, so they might be more expensive and not really suited to what you need. if you want expression pedal, the 606 or 707II is the way to go.
please visit www.zoom.co.jp, you have detailed info about all the products listed above.

i have the zoom g2.1u too.
it cost ard rm500+
great sound in it, but the wah's quite weak IMO

505II are still around in some small shops. no expression pedal but its good enough. heck, i used a 505II for few gigs before i got picked up to play for other better well known bands(and with that had better excuses to upgrade). point is, even with a 505II u can still get some decent effects and impress people(but you wont hide ur playing). since theyre so outdated u could probably find them for over rm100 or so. drop by jamtank and ask. 2nd hand one would probably be below rm100 by now.

my advice, get a multi efx as your first pedal. u'll learn alot from it.

waaa! 505II cost less than 100? serious? how come so cheap? Anyway, the G2.1u looks pretty sweet.
I'll check the prices, and definitely test them before making a decision

The reason why the 505II is cheap, is because I think it's 2 models old already.... infact.... you can probably find a 505 for a cheaper price!!

behringer retails for about RM100++ and u hav a wide variety of them... overdrive, tube overdrive, chorus, etc..

Behringer pedals are analogue wan right? are they like the Boss ones? Why so far no one recommend Boss pedal - overdrive, distortion, and chorus, etc.

I'm not sure, but i think behringer is analogue. they reverse engineer pedals from boss, ibanez and dunno who else, and present it as BEHRINGER. Hopefully the vets can offer more info.

BOSS is good (and expensive), can always get them... common knowledge i think, so no one recommend ha ha..

rmbr, u get what u pay for..

Not really..... Boss are actually pretty resonable for pro quality sounds.....
But since we still don't know WHAT KIND OF SOUND/MUSIC THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY... it's hard to recommend single effect pedals.........

you get the picture??

Not trying to be mean or anything..... but up until now.... you still haven't said what kind of tone you want, or what kind of band/artist you want to emulate....
you said you want a distortion/overdrive... but didn't say for what kind of music....
There are distortions for Heavy Metal (Boss Metal Zone, Digitech's The Weapon), Metal (Boss SD-1/DS-1, Digitech's Hot Rod), Punk Rock (Digitech's Hot Rod comes to mind)..... and don't forget.. distortions usually is amp dependent as well...... so there are a MILLION combinations for "Distortion".....

So please, again.... help us, help you..... read some previous posts and the rules before making comments like that again!!!

hahahaha okok.... relax.
umm... i guess i want a more bassy, heavy, and deep sound that sounds like Sum41 (think Crazy Amanda Bunkface) & Blink182 & NewFound glory. something like that.... more rough kind of sound lor

If you're amp has distortion that you like, but not hard enough, I suggest you get the SD-1 for an overdrive.... remember..... SD-1 is NOT to be used on it's own..... you need to put it infront of your exsisting distortion for some major ball breaker....

If you want something with a bit more crunch or your amp is crap and can be used on it's own.... get the DS-1 instead...

All these are BOSS pedals and should be about 180 a pedal.

Honestly.... punk players are mostly direct from Amp to Guitar and that's it.... only a handful really uses a overdrive pedal in the front....

But like I said..... if you're a Noob.... forget about getting single pedals and get a multi-FX unit first.....

yup.. recommend a multifx . later when u know what u want, then only go for the stomp box.

better get a bad monkey
SD-1 kinda sux the low end out from the tone
