I just received these pedals todays. These are in fact my first pedals ever. I was looking for something cheap and can still give good sound, and oh boy...being satisfied isnt even enough to express my feeling. First of all the quality is amazing ! these are well built, they are heavy, they are made out of metal, they are solid. The sound is amazing, it's just what I wanted. The vintage overdrive gives that not over the top overdrive, just the right amount of time to play that sweet blues. The digital delay does its work perfectly , and it has plenty of option with that delay. I still didnt test the British sound. They cost me about 90€ total, wich for a beginner gigging artist that wants to get started out, its really amazing. I'm sorry if it's not really detailed, i'm not experienced with pedals and I still didnt get enough time with them, but I'll update this post further and further.

You should be able to do a lot with that Bendricks . I get by with just about that setup (American sound instead of British) most of the time. Yes I do add wah, compression, trem etc from time to time and my amp has some reverb on it, but this little set of 3 should do MOST of what you want MOST of the time. I don't know if you've looked into the order of stacking pedals but if it were me I would switch the British sound and delay pedal around in order to go OVERDRIVE>BRITISH>DELAY>AMP. It works for me but you may find something different. Mix it up and see. Yeah i spent the entire morning just trying the pedals and having fun with them basically...It's so much fun, before i bought them i rarely touched the guitar i just go borred...but now, they gave me the passion to play again thanks harley benton for making all of this possible hahahaha If i had to buy other brands, it would of cost me hundreds of dollars

Defo is about the mojo Defjef - I play almost exclusively acoustically but when I record something I always add a riff or bit of lead with my HB35 and it's always off the cuff. I don't have pedals but run it through my Boss BR80 (which I can't recomemend enough - that's my recording interface too)which has loads of preset sounds. I find it works better like that than trying to work aout a bit of lead that matches - usually by the 2nd take it's done!

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

When I'm trying to work out a little bit of lead I often have a little hum or a whistle for a while first to see where I could go dodger. I seem to find more melodic ideas that way as I'm not tempted to repeat the usual scales and places where my fingers always go. Of course when I get to the guitar some of that might get thrown out of the window or I might make a mistake that I prefer or which seems more naturally guitar-like. Other times I just want to make a very non-linear solo so whistling or humming doesn't help. That's when modes can come in handy or, my favourite way, following the chord changes closely so it doesn't sound too scale based. I often work something out on a different instrument to the one that I'm eventually going to record. Bass lines I like to work out on an electric guitar simply because with some of those low notes it can be hard to tell if they are in tune. I'll often work something out on a guitar before doing it on a piano too. I guess it's to avoid sticking to the safe positions for my hands.
