The title is a strong statement, I know. Just bear with me, watch it and let me know what you think in the comment section.
In case you're a no-pedals-all-amp kind of player, please don't feel offended by the title. Haha!
I admit at the end of the video that pedals are obviously not almighty. There are sounds you simply won't get by using them. But... :)
For the most part, pedals are killer and can make your setup versatile, simple to use and fun.
So you don't even necessarily need amp distortion at all.
