It is important to spread out your purchasing power when it comes to pedals. Basic pedalboards will consist of a tuner, a compressor, a fuzz or distortion or both, a modulation pedal like a chorus or vibrato, a delay and maybe some wild pedal. Add that up and that becomes a lot of money for us musicians.

Read MoreThis video review of Red Panda’s Raster with Dan Elkan and Nick Reinhart is one of my favorite videos we've done on Pedals And Effects. This pedal is so deep, I knew I had to ask pedal wizard, Dan Elkan, to help me really do this insane digital delay, justice. What I love about this video is that Nick comes in like a guy who hasn’t played through the pedal at all.
