There are two approaches to distortion and tone. One uses the pickups and a pedal or the amp. Neither is better than the other. On top of that a OD pedal lets you kick it up for a lead and you are able to modulate amp sounds with distortion and OD pedals that are impossible for you otherwise. Like I have a Peavey amp and I use a pedal some times to get it to sound like a Marshal stack.
Next pedals cover a range of things. From phasers, flangers, uni-v roatary, chorus, ect. They allow for sounds and effect a guitar can't get on its own. Not using an eq pedal and a compressor is just stupid.
ya totally right man.
Well let me fix this problem and I'll go on your lessons.
