Glad it helped and I’m sorry the volume was so low!! This was one of our earlier videos and we were still figuring out things like audio levels. Since this one was filmed, we’ve done a lot to improve our videos overall, hopefully you might check out our channel page and see if there are other recent ones we have that you would like too!!
@@TheHobbyMusician I watched your recent and the audio is a tad better but will still be quite inaudible if on the subway or noisy area.. I guess you still need a mic. It will go a long way rather than working in post trying to fix the audio
This video was soooo helpful! Thank you sm! I just got my first electric guitar yesterday and was wondering which pedal to get first. The explanations and the demonstration helped me so much! Definitely subscribed!
I’m so glad it was helpful!! I know how exciting it is to be getting new gear and diving into it all, I wish you the best of luck as you explore your new guitar and pedal purchases. Play on my friend, play on!!
It all depends on your needs. I use a reverb a lot more than my delay. Mostly the delay I use is for a “Slapback” effect for my Tele. Reverb gives a nice sweet “fullness” for playing rhythm and for arpeggios and fills.
You’re absolutely right!! The situation often helps dictate what kind of effects you need. I love my reverbs for that fullness you mention too :o) Thanks so much for watching!!
I could be a warning to those wanting to play...it started with a few instruments and one little amp. Now, I'm several thousand dollars into a music hobby(2 keyboards 12 guitars three bases seven amps, and 54 effects devices of all kinds. It's hurt my bank account, but I guess it's cheaper than drugs(in the long run). Be careful starting this hobby, cause it can get out of hand real quick.
I bought Boss RV-6. You got both reverb( in different spaces) & delay(w/ +delay mode); Shimmer, Dynamic, and Modulate (like Chorus + reverb) are bonuses. Nice tutorial by the way. Play on man. Cheers!
That RV-6 is an AWESOME pedal!! You’re right about all the options and tones, I’ve heard that Shimmer mode in person and it sounds gorgeous. You’ve a great one my friend, enjoy it!!
Such a great video! Thank you for this. I have the unfortunate condition of being a gear head musician (who has only recently decided to rebuild my guitar stuff I sold when I switched to keyboards and EDM for a while) who happens to be broke right now.
cool I was trying to decide this. I almost ordered a reverb but yeah I think delay will be much more fun to experiment with and I can add the reverb pedal later, thanks! Im thinking about the mxr carbon copy or that tc pedal.
Thanks so much!! If you want, we’ve got another one on the channel comparing overdrive to distortion you could check out too, might be helpful. You’re going to have so much fun getting into pedals!!! Thanks again for watching!
I've rarely use delay, in fact, don't even own a delay pedal these days, just reverb; and I use it sparingly. Whenever I gig I leave it up to the soundman as to how much reverb I should use, if at all, and walk around the venue with my wireless to get a sense of things. You have to trust the in-house soundmen because they know their venues and their system.
That’s so true!! Each gig can be so different when it comes to venues and sound technicians so you’re definitely right, trusting the sound tech is vital. Thanks so much for pointing that out!! Play on my friend, play on!
Thank you, im now building my small pedal board. I have a tuner, overdrive and bought a delay after watching your vid. I have a question though, some people say that you can use a distortion pedal as a pre amp or boost, is it true? since im planning to buy a distortion too. Thanks in advance
That’s so exciting!! You can definitely use different kinds of drive pedals as boosts. You mentioned already having an overdrive pedal, you might be able to experiment with keeping the gain fairly low but raising the master volume for cleaner boost tones. Also, if you want to check out this other episode we did, it talks about building boards like you’re doing! th-cam.com/video/KUQNkEUDBxQ/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching and play on my friend, play on!!
So sorry it was that short! I’ve been working on a lot more videos with playing samples, especially comparing pedal types. They’ll be coming out soon but in the meantime, check out our channel and the “overdrive vs. distortion” episode if you like this kind of stuff! Thanks for watching!!
You certainly can! Lots of people will run mods, like chorus and others, into drive channels with delays and reverbs in an effects loop of the amp if it has one. But there’s also a lot of people that will run everything straight into the amp like you described, getting great tones too!! Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
That’s a great question!! I guess I would say that if you play more fast paced music, a delay pedal could add some rhythmic spice to things, but if you play mostly slower music, then a reverb pedal could add a lot more space and “feeling” to it. Either way, both pedals would sound really cool with your ukulele!! Play on my friend, play on!
You’re right! The entire Katana line of amps have not only great amp tones, but the ability to include a whole array of Boss effects. As you said, it’s a great, flexible option for any guitarist!!
You’re right about the natural feeling of reverb!! I agree with you and whenever there’s a dedicated pedal for it, I go with that! I was only trying to say that if someone has to temporarily “cheat” the reverb sound with a delay pedal, they can get close but not perfect. 😄 Thanks for watching!!!
Thats a really good point!! Like you’re saying, delays are super versatile and with some of them now with options like that, you can get all sorts of tones out of one. Thanks for watching!!
You’re absolutely right! We’re working on a bunch more of these “versus” episodes so I’ll make sure we do one with delay and distortion. Thanks for the great idea!!
That’s awesome! With the pedals you also listed, I think they’ll make a great addition to your board. I put some links to them at the top if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching and play on my friend!!
@@TheHobbyMusician I will I forgot to mention my boss blues driver pedal I’m currently workin on a riff with the overdrive pedal blues driver and a sonicake volume pedal I spent probably an hour or longer tweakin everything I got a digitech metal distortion pedal if I need to use it
@@TheHobbyMusician they are i got a bit of a distortion sound out of it today just usin that one pedal I had the level and gain turned half way and the tone set over a little half way
Haha! Yeah, there’s a whole word of options just right there. Because of that I’ve always leaned toward pedals that give me options (like these…) because then I can change things up when my mood changes!!
Haha!! Although I’m not, and wasn’t raised that way, I guess that means we’re having success in making our videos easy to follow and understand! Thanks for watching and play on my friend, play on.
@@bobbyb7127 he sounds fine.. no doubt about but we could barely hear him.. I had to turn my volume to the max and when the guitar came up, I thought my tweeters had blown up.. he needs a mic to be audible enough..it can be frustrating
Want to check out these pedals?? Here are some affiliate links:

This is helpful.. thanks.. Can you kinda use a mic next time..

Haha!!! Yes it can!! But it feels so good…..that I never want it to stop😆😆. Stay strong my friend, or maybe……just one more pedal…..🤔

Love your perspective and coverage on the topic. Delay it is!
Thank you!

Haha!! I know that exact feeling of rebuilding...but being broke too 🤪. Good luck my friend!
Very helpful video. Very simple and clear explanation. Good job.
Thank you so much!! Play on my friend, play on!
You are so polite, thank you

They're both great delay pedals! I'm sure you'll enjoy either one. Thanks for watching!!
Dude you're so helpful and awesome. I'm getting into pedals for the first time, this video should be required to be watched by beginners
Thanks so much!! If you want, we’ve got another one on the channel comparing overdrive to distortion you could check out too, might be helpful. You’re going to have so much fun getting into pedals!!! Thanks again for watching!
This video explains it so well. I'm littlerally shocked by the detail
Thank you so much!! We’ve got more like this one coming so hopefully, you can be shocked again😆!
Thanks a lot its going to be my birthday and im going to choose wich one to buy
That’s great! Happy Birthday!! Play on my friend, play on.

Terrific concept. More examples would be helpful. We were just warming up and then it was finished.... 🤷🏻♂️

Excellent Video, congratulations. Best reggards from Argentina
Thank you so much!!
Very helpful bro! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!
U can make reverb sound on delay pedal
Definitely! They’re so versatile, they can do so much. Thanks for watching!!
Many thanks! Helped a lot!
So glad it helped!!
Can i run delay,reverb,mod into the drive channel of the amp ?
You certainly can! Lots of people will run mods, like chorus and others, into drive channels with delays and reverbs in an effects loop of the amp if it has one. But there’s also a lot of people that will run everything straight into the amp like you described, getting great tones too!! Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
In your opinion which one would be best for a electric acoustic ukulele.
That’s a great question!! I guess I would say that if you play more fast paced music, a delay pedal could add some rhythmic spice to things, but if you play mostly slower music, then a reverb pedal could add a lot more space and “feeling” to it. Either way, both pedals would sound really cool with your ukulele!! Play on my friend, play on!
Get a Boss Katana amp if you can. It has basically every type of pedal you'll need, so it's a good place to start.
You’re right! The entire Katana line of amps have not only great amp tones, but the ability to include a whole array of Boss effects. As you said, it’s a great, flexible option for any guitarist!!
I usually prefer reverb.Because it feels more natural and soft.

You’re welcome and thanks for watching!! We’ll have more of these kinds of videos coming in the future. Play on my friend, play on!
The exact video I was looking for. Nice lol
Thank you so much and I’m glad you liked it!!
To save money in the long run , get a programmable delay.
Thats a really good point!! Like you’re saying, delays are super versatile and with some of them now with options like that, you can get all sorts of tones out of one. Thanks for watching!!
No one reviewed delay and distortion
You’re absolutely right! We’re working on a bunch more of these “versus” episodes so I’ll make sure we do one with delay and distortion. Thanks for the great idea!!
I loved the explication.........great
Thank you so much!! Play on my friend, play on!
I’m thinkin about gettin both pedals I got a few distortion pedals overdrive pedal and a wah pedal
That’s awesome! With the pedals you also listed, I think they’ll make a great addition to your board. I put some links to them at the top if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching and play on my friend!!
@@TheHobbyMusician I will I forgot to mention my boss blues driver pedal I’m currently workin on a riff with the overdrive pedal blues driver and a sonicake volume pedal I spent probably an hour or longer tweakin everything I got a digitech metal distortion pedal if I need to use it
Sweet!! I’ve heard those blues drivers and they sound amazing! That’s so cool that you tweaked everything for that perfect tone for your riff.
@@TheHobbyMusician they are i got a bit of a distortion sound out of it today just usin that one pedal I had the level and gain turned half way and the tone set over a little half way
I’ll make sure to add one of those to my future pedal wish list!
delay for saturated, distorted solos, reverb for everything else.
That’s the ticket!! Great tip!!
Chorus, Reverb or Delay...so that's where I'm at. LOL
Haha! Yeah, there’s a whole word of options just right there. Because of that I’ve always leaned toward pedals that give me options (like these…) because then I can change things up when my mood changes!!

can barely hear you, get yourself an amp firstly please
So sorry the volume is low!! We’ve tried some new recording software for our newer videos and it seems to have helped. Sorry again!
@@TheHobbyMusician You sound fine!
Thanks!! 😊
