Hello you all, I wanted to get a couple of pedals. I have been playing guitar for a couple of years now, but I know nothing about pedals. I wanted to get a distortion pedal(because the distortion on my amp is pathetic) and I wanted to get some type of delay pedal. They don't have to be exactly what Mr. Gilmour uses, but I like to have something along those lines if possible. I don't know which type to get, or what's best to get. So please help!

Thanks.

Get a good distortion pedal, like the Vintage Rat or a Big M<uff. For the second pedal, I would buy a compressor, like the Marshall Edward the Compressor. Either way, get a compression pedal.

I wanted tp get a Big Muff, are those real good? What do compression pedals really do? I've heard they are important, something about boosting the highs or something, but I'm not sure.

What do you think about the Boss CS3 compression pedal?

I will. And for delay would you recommend a Boss DD-3 or DD-6, or something else.

Big Muff's are awesome, I own the NYC one, it's electronics are way better than the sovtek edition. Also I use a H20 liquid chorus and delay, expensive but they're awesome and provide so many combinations, it's essential to my sound.
