Question about pedals

Unread post by elliot » Wed Feb 23, 2005 1:52 pm

Ok, so i'm really getting into some punk guitar stuff, especially green day (mostly the American Idiot album) and i'm wondering if anyone knows what the best pedal or pedals are that can give me that crunchy tone. thanks in advance for the help.

well... you can always just find a good amp that does it.. whats your current setup?

also, if you wanna go cheap, i love the boss blues driver... great distortion pedal.

well as for distortion, try to find an amp that does what you like if youre looking for new gear. the amp is the most important part of the sound.
