JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADGet an amp that already has a decent Overdrive and reverb and If you're Into learning a Lot of different Covers I'd recommend the drop Pedal cause it can artificially downtune your guitarSo as a beginner, i am curious as to what should be the first effect pedal to get or should i even get one right now?

Does it have a built in reverb? Do you like the tone of the built in overdrive?ok yea only have a marshal practice amp it does have an overdrive switch but just wasnt sure if i should start investing in a pedal
To be completely honest i couldn't tell you if it actually sounds good. I do not believe it has reverb just a push button for overdrive. Heck i am surprised this amp works found it at goodwill outlet like 2 years ago and when my wife and i decided to learn how to play guitar i dusted it offDoes it have a built in reverb? Do you like the tone of the built in overdrive?

There are a lot more cool pedals out there and @Ed Seith is kind of the expert when it comes to gear so you may want to wait for him to reply and maybe do some research to look for a pedal that gives you the sound you're looking for.
Ooh, I have 16 pedals. I guess that's more my expertise then@Ids Schiere - I am definitely NOT a pedal guy! I literally have one (Drop pedal) that I have bought in the last 30 years. Once I started using digital rack effect processors, I never went back.
Definitely want an amp you enjoy I agree. Thatd be step 1 realistically. But since you already have the amp I'd stick with it unless you truly had the cash and wa ted to upgrade there.If I were you, after you do what Calvin said, if you don't like the options on the amp, scrap it and get a small Katana or something, rather than putting pedal after pedal in front of an amp you don't like. Lipstick on a pig and all that.
For what you'd pay for a good pedal or two, you could have something much better.
