![]() Even a $20 unit is a waste of money if it sounds like garbage. ![]() Obviously, one of the most important was the quality of the effects. When deciding which pedal was the best for a beginner I took a number of things into consideration. So I decided to go back and check out a bunch of entry-level multi-effects pedals from Zoom, Line 6, Digitech and Mooer to figure out where a new guitarist should spend their cash. Your average 16-year-old starting their first band can't go out and buy half a dozen pedals from the likes of Earthquaker Devices, JHS or even a relatively affordable stalwart like Electro Harmonix. These are also usually the first stop for a budding guitarist. And even cheap processors are powerful enough to handle multiple effects simultaneously in a live audio application. ![]() Thankfully things have come a long way since the mid '90s.ĭigital effects can often compete with their analog counterparts now. ![]() And it could be a little confusing to operate at times. But, if I'm being honest, a lot of the sounds you got out of it were not great. It was also the first pedal I ever bought. The Zoom 505 was the biggest game in town, if you wanted a pile of effects in a compact package for a reasonable price. When I first started playing guitar way back in 1995 (or maybe it was 1994?) the idea of a digital multi-effects pedal was still pretty new.
