What’s the point of playing guitar if you can’t find a wide array of pedals to throw on and develop a deepened sense of elation? As narcissistic or self-righteous this might make guitar playing sound; pedals are fun.

Nevertheless, since my early days of playing, I’ve always had an infatuation with pedals. My first introduction to a guitar pedal was by my friend CJ who showed me a Boss DS-1 when we were in 7th grade. I had no idea pedals even existed at that point, but from there, I began a slow collection of pedals to toy around with.

Currently, at 22, I’ve grown accustomed to a select group of pedals I use whenever I play out or record music. Some of you might have no interest in the matter, since I’m not a notable guitarist or musician by any means, but who cares!
