I just had a pickup installed on my acoustic, so now I can use pedals, and all of that jazz

My question is, what pedal should I get?

If I could buy any of them I would want the "line6 dl4 sampler" (the big green one that Howie Day uses), but it's like 250.00 and I just can't afford it right now.

So what do ya'll reccomend? What can I get the most uses from and still keep a good sound? Please keep it affordable, AND INCLUDE LINK!

get something that loops. that would be a better investment, i think, than a pedal right off.

i used to play electric for a few year really intensly so i have wah wahs and distorion and metal petals, and i gotta tell you its so much fun seeing how the acoustic sounds with them. I have to ssay you should get a wah wah petal its a lotta fun and it sounds funky. I think i saw a version of 41 with someone playing with his wah wah it was nifty.

Cry Baby (Wah) pedal, Super Overdrive pedal (made by Boss)...they're all pretty cool.

I bought a Digitech RP 200 last year that's fun to mess around with.

Are delay pedals used for looping or are there specific looping pedals? I've always kind of wondered that.

save your money and get the line 6 dl-4 delay looping machine. i got one about 6 months ago and it is the greatest thing i've ever bought.

go with the boss rc20 loopstation if you want a straight up looper. 5 minutes of sample time and you can overdub tracks

Yeah the DL6 is great. It's how Tim gets his loops. I wish I were a better player to use it to the full potential. Keep looking around for used ones. Occasionally you can find a deal.
