In the ';early days'; the only effects really were fuzz, wawa and tremolo (raising and lowering of the volume - Fender and Vox called it ';vibrato'; on their amps). Later came the phaser. A volume pedal could produce swell effects too. The thing is, if you go for pedals that claim to duplicate the sound of 60s/70s pedals you'll end up paying silly money. From experience, I would recommend Boss pedals (they're not cheep but I would say they're reasonably priced). I still have a Big Muff fuzz box (my favourite fuzz) and I think the Cry Baby wah is still the best. You might want to try something that simulates tape echo too (quite expensive and I have no experience of any of these units - I still have a Wem Copycat though!).Advise on electric guitar pedals?
Pedals are activated when you step on them. That's why they can go back and forth from playing clean and distorted. Distortion buttons give some distortion, but if you are into metal, you are probably going to want a pedal. Pedals also let you tweak the sound of the distortion with the knobs at the top of the pedal, which is nice when you regularly play with distortion.





Also, distortion buttons work well with some pedals, but probably not a distortion pedal. That would probably just sound like static-y garbage. I have a Boss B-F3 flanger that sounds awesome with a distortion button though.





Boss actually makes a pedal called ';Metal Core'; but I think it sound kind of ';tinny'; and their DS-1 distortion pedal sounds better. That's just personal taste though. You can actually usually find DS-1 pedals on Ebay (and sometimes Craigslist) for a lot cheaper than you would buy them new. Boss actually has a really cool website that actually lets you listen to all the pedals they sell. Here's the link if you haven't been there yet: http://www.bossus.com/gear/subcategories鈥?/a>





As for the new guitar, get one if you really want one. Squier's aren't bad guitars; they are just generally regarded as ';begginer guitars'; because they are inexpensive, not because of the sound or anything. If I were you, I would hold off on getting the guitar until I could afford the really nice one.





Hope I helped. Good luck. :)
