Jhs packrat first impressions

Surely will, hate feeling like complete newb for how long I've been playing but I'm just now getting into the different electronics and could surely use some well guided advice before I start shelling out money for new pedals. Thanks for the advice everyone!

YouTube is your friend as well. Lots of pedal vids out there that do a good job of demoing pedals.

But that assumes you even know what you want to do or what a given pedal, out of thousands does. That's what forums are good for - narrowing down the herd to a few choice ones to investigate.
