uacrossover 23 are we going to address this or just ignore the clear favoritism of Buffalo over someone who actually abides by the rules ? <| sep |> a good first pedal is a distortion one , really opens you up to playing songs that start off clean then go into a dirty chorus or solo section . People will say otherwise , but my favorite distortion is a boss ds 2 can be found for 40 $ used easily . I also recommend a big muff if you go for a fuzz pedal instead , great for indierock stuff like the black keys . Otherwise , a tubescreamer , eq , chorus , tuner and delayreverb are good options to invest in . Boss makes a lot of great pedals if you want something cheap and easy to dial the right tones <| sep |> Oh , I just thought it was a weird question , not actually funny .
