@@THESESSIONROOM no, and i stated as much in my first comment; not gonna stop me from watching a new andertons video though

As a 44 year old new (1 year) guitar player, this video was a much needed one for me. As much I enjoy all your videos, I find that for a newbie like me all of the technical information there is aimed at a much more experienced players. This one lays the basics for people like me. Thnx a lot, great explanation and please make more of these.

Longstanding viewer here, as well as guitar player and music teacher. I must commend the way you guys do your beginners videos. While of course, you want to sell products, there's a very warming and welcoming tone to these, that I hope will make new players feel like part of the guitar playing community of the world. Well done Cap'n, and well done also to the production team. It warms a teachers heart to see it.

Aw bless ❤ That's a really sweet and informative starter grounding for newbies. Well done Lee

Lee, this was superb. Straightforward coverage of the basics. I needed it and I bet many people will be happy to see it. Great job.

One of the best beginner videos I have ever seen. Any question I had was answered. Great job

Great demo Lee, this will help the new guitarists with there choice of pedals, and they can show mum and dad what they want for Christmas if they are if they are to young to get there own just yet.

Awesome Video Lee👍 You and all the Andertons team are so good at demos and informing all players at all different levels!!! Keep up the amazing work!🎸👍

Would it be possible to do a video for moving from beginner to intermediate? And then intermediate to advanced/pro? Love the videos guys

Andertons should create their own learning platform, ideally free, would it be a best way to get beginners into buying more high end gear than that ?

@sagittated

There's no difference between beginner, intermediate, & pro gear. Beginners can use good gear and don't let anyone shame you into feeling like you need bad gear until you practice more.

​@@sagittatedGreat point. An od is an od is an od. They will sound a little different model to model but they serve the same purpose. My favorite distortion is the DS1. Has been for over 25 years, it only costs 50 or 60 bucks for the base model at most shops, and built like a tank.

Playing since 1970 Still recording and having a blast. My pedal board has a Boss Tuner, A Boss Chorus, and a Boss Blues Driver. Youngsters I have had them all. Still have a lot of them. Lee is right on, but in the end start simple and robust and go from there, just remember to set it on 11 AFTER you tuned it

I'm finally graduating from messing around with cheap FX modelers and processors on to putting together a modest pedal board of my very reasonable dreams! Andertons has been a large chunk of my research into how I should go about assembling over time. What sort of pedals to prioritize and what not. I've loved watching all the board assembly videos and thank you for sharing it all with us!

Great video Lee, I play mostly through plugins atm, but I am thinking about a loop pedal rn

I bought my first pedal 3 years or so ago and you are correct they ARE Addictive... in fact you have almost my first board... Changed some of the inexpensive pedals since for a Plethora X5... great video for the new to pedals.

Another great video, Cap’n… You always make it seem like we are being helped by a friend. If it weren’t for shipping cost, i’d be buying gear from you.. Wish you and your family and colleagues a wonderful Christmas.

Really nicely gauged presenting. Good man, Cap.

Wishing all the best for the Captain and his crew. They made bizarre 2023 tolerable. Thanks.

Very informative. Thank you very much. Learned alot.

I blew up my first pedal because I had no idea what or how to use them. It was a boss ds1 16 or 17 years ago now lol. Live and learn.

How did you blow it up?

I just bought my proper Pedal last week being a Digitech Drop Pedal so I can play lower tuning without retuning, it's great.

Just the kind of video I needed when I was starting out. Sadly that was so long ago that I had to rely on Pathe News or informative 45s on the wind-up phonograph. You youngsters are very lucky to have The Captain guiding you!

if I was starting again, I would buy Boss pedals and ignore everything else. I have about forty pedals made by mainly ‘boutique’ (low volume production,high price) builders and six guitars ranging from a 40 year old Squire JVRI Strat to a Murphy lab SG… If you want my advice, get a decent HSS S-style and/or an LP style and a handful of Boss pedals and that will be all you will ever need.

Thxs for a new guitar player luv the info.

Really great for beginners !

Good video Lee! Takes me back to the days when I was pedal exploring! I’m rocking a tuner, wah, flanger, mini tube screamer, and a looper and delay in the effects loop of my TH30 🔥🔥

A tube screamer should really go straight in between your guitar and amp, not in effects loop. But hey if it works for you :)

Way to go Lee. Newbies or financially strapped players with little rigs need pedals most of all.

I've never played an eastcoast, but that yellow colour is enticing.

I have been waiting for a video like this. Next Le Should show what channel he will connect pedals to in a practice combo amplifier or if it makes sense. Because I have a MG practice amp with inbuilt effects. Like reverb and fx ?

awesome informative video

I am an adult, just getting into electrics. Thank you for your very informative vid about Pedals!

Since this is brought to us by TC Electronic, I'm surprised not to see the Bucket Brigade Analog Delay in this!

Next up, a beginners guide to cable management 😄 Great video guys.

Thank you!

Smart salesmanship, getting the beginner videos out for Christmas. That's not me complaining BTW. Can you please do a blindfold video of multifx Vs Tube amp. Everyone says you can't tell the difference and I can't decide whether to make the move to the dark side.

Uncle Lee teaching the kiddos! I wanna hear him read a story about the Adventures of Danish Pete and Chappers on the high seas! Or, a step by step beginners guide to programing your DIGITAL JOHN!

@Lee Anderton Dang bro! Now that's how a music company SHOULD open a video! Killer drum beat that actually moves my woofers, killer slightly distorted guitar, ummmm wakes me RIGHT up it does! You do or should realize that people who come to your channel, most likely have jobs and therefore music equipment and therefore some type of amplified video/TV equipment. Please, please give us some kind of monster intro like this (not necessarily this) and not the captain's lick. It has it's place in our hearts, don't get me wrong. Daddy needs some boom-boom in the morning! lol Merry Christmas to you and yours and ALL the good folks who work for and with you!

Finally, someone has created avideo with pedals and a basic solid state amp as a demo.

Only thing missing for a beginner was possibly a cheap little simple looper pedal for practicing or just jamming by yourself. But regardless still a really good and informative video for newer players.

My first pedal was an Ibanez Phat Hed. It was advertised as a bass Tube Screamer, but it worked equally as well for guitar. Of course, the reason I bought it was because it was half the price of a Tube Screamer. Looking back at those days, the first pedal a beginner should buy is a TUNER. You're welcome.

Lee, I have a request. Could you maybe do a video regarding guitars that would be suitable for nickel allergy sufferers? I feel extremely limited in what guitars or strings I can buy, and need all the help I can get. At most stores, I get people doing the shoulders shrug and incoherent "idunno" mumble.

Real missed opportunity not putting a cardigan on Lee and doing some Mr. Rogers stuff with these beginner's guides.

Cheers. I've got a couple of these pedals in my basket on your website, any Christmas discount codes going please???

Nice video, but the best thing about it is definitely Lee sitting cross-legged on the floor like a primary school teacher at circle time.

Here’s an idea for a series of videos…. £500 upgrade. So you’ve got a £500 rig, and £500 to spend. What do you do? New guitar? Pedals? Trade in your amp? Trade everything. And you could have 2 approaches to the same situation.. Then same… but with £1000 rig and so on. And you’re then covering everyone’s real life conundrums on what’s next

If I’ve got a Blackstar V30 amp I think it is, which has different effects on it…when would I need pedals? I suppose the pedal allows you to change sounds mid riff, you don’t need to use your hands to adjust the amp switches…

One of the first pedals a beginner should buy is a looper pedal.

Made the horrid mistake of going with a digitech death metal pedal for my first. Thing has been sitting in a box for years now. The only pedal I regularly use right now is the Horizon Precision drive, and man I fuckin love the thing. Occasionally will use a Crybaby for funsies though.

Great post for newbies or parents buying for their kids, but perhaps it could ahve been released earlier?

I‘ve been dying to learn the guitar solo from Tears for Fears‘s “Shout.” Does anyone happen to know what pedal they used?

*Looks at my pedal board... is entirely drive/distortion pedals and a tuner* Perfect

I fuckin love andertons!

how many times do you think lee says the word “pedal?”

1st - Ditto Looper 2nd - Strobostomp HD 3rd - A Silicon vs. Germanium downward spiral into the abyss.

what series is that Ibanez behind Lee?

Yooo what's the chosus pedal song he is playing??

It's "Rug time with Lee"! 🤣

❤😊❤FUZZ!!!!!!

I actually find it a little silly that a guitar pedal is called a guitar pedal if you can use one with more than a guitar. Now I'd rather call "guitar" pedals instrument pedals or effects pedals ahah. Heck, even a "Bass amp" I used when there was no other amp available for me to plug into at a music school sounded good for Jazz tones.

How about your first amp video?

And here kids we have through the round window a Klon !!!

I don't think I remember the last time the Captain played standing up

My question is Lee...... how difficult was it to stand up after sitting cross legged on the floor for that period of time ? lol

Stomp maddness

Ive been playing guitar for seven years. What am i doing here?

Me watching this after dropping $5k on my dream amp and cab lol

Just get a tube screamer. I wish i had. I had a cheap amp cheap pedal and sound i sometimes loved, but mostly hated. My fingers worked mostly fine, but no matter what, something sounded off.no modulation until until you can play clean. Grab a ir200 and a tube screamer. It will cost you 600 bucks your cheap guitar will sound better. Don't get a daisy chain with a cheap amp. It may sound like garbage. I spent more money trying to get expensive tones with cheap equipment but you have to spend some money to sound good. 500 bucks will get you pretty far. Anyway nobody will lisyen and probably do what i did. But again, get the ir200. I took a dump on it. i was wrong. It's a great, inexpensive machine to learn on. And in 6 months, when you are better, get something digital with modulation. You'll learn to not like it, then you'll really start spending money.

Shoutout to the Behringer pedals, really affordable and solid tones!

Was this sponsored by TC Electronic? 🤔

Please please please all you beginers out there before you invest in all these lovely shiny toys demonstrated by Lee get yourself a chair....its way more comfy than playing with your legs crossed on a not too soft carpet....youll thank me later!

ha a banana

I've heard of these "pedals". Word has it they cure cancer now.

Your first pedal should be a Boss Blues Driver. Your second pedal should be a Zoom Multistomp. You don't need a third.

I don't think so. It's fun to plug straight in, but it's also fun to play with different tones, gain levels, reverb etc etc. Definitely helps you grow as a player. Trying new things n such.

Nah bro I am with you 100%, I got a boss Me80 and it serves me fine. I actually run it through a bass amp with the Boss's preamp on. Works great for what I need. And I have less amps.

My advice is that you don't buy cheap pedals, then replace them with the pedals you actually want. You've just wasted money on the cheap pedals. If a pedal costs you $25, it's a waste of $25. Just go get a pizza instead. Then save up and get $200 pedals when they're on sale price for $140.

Best advice for beginners is don't buy pedals. Get good at playing first.

This is terrible advice. Play every day, and you'll slowly get better. Getting fun gear will help get you to play every day.

Lee you have shares in these too?

I'm glad that you explain the option of "Daisy Chaining" for powering multiple pedals. I think buying a "Power Supply" is throwing away money & giving up "Real Estate" on your board. I have over 16 pedals "Daisy Chained" on MY board, with NO ISSUES!

@7171jay

6 ай бұрын

Daisy chaining is a good way to keep costs down and is fine as long as you are lucky enough to get away without the noise that can be created by not using a "proper" isolated supply. Also many digital pedals are power hogs and have high current needs that can't always be covered by a cheap non-isolated supply and daisy chaining. A rechargeable battery power bank is yet another way to go.
