Guitar effects pedals have given guitarists innumerable ways to manipulate the instrument\u2019s more \u201cnatural\u201d sounds into all sorts of possible resonances. If you\u2019re wondering what the best guitar pedals are for you, the answer obviously depends on what you want to get out of it, as every stomp box has its own functions. So we asked a few of the course authors in the Berklee Guitar department a simple question: If you could only use one pedal for the rest of your guitar-playing life, what would it be? Some guitar instructors had a lot to say on the matter, others were brief, but effusive in their answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really like the Keeley modified Boss Blues Driver<\/a> that I\u2019ve had for 15 years or so. It\u2019s very transparent\u2014when I\u2019m using it, it sounds like the amp\/tubes are working harder, rather than coloring the sound, like most stomp boxes. I\u2019m happy to keep it simple whenever possible \u2026 With just the guitar (and Blues Driver) plugged into a vintage Fender amp \u2026 love that combination! \u2014Mike Williams<\/a><\/strong> I\u2019d probably have to say my Boss Keeley Mod. BD-2. If I get stuck with a crappy-sounding amp and guitar for the rest of my life, this pedal can help get a semi-decent sound out of a not-so-good setup. \u2014Kevin Belz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
