Guitarist 524 Premium

Effects pedals have been getting under guitarists’ feet since those heady days of the 1960s when fuzz and wah-wah became part of the sound of rock’n’roll. Technology has bounded forward since then, of course, and today the marketplace is full of fancy stomp-fodder. In our new issue we pick 30 of the top movers and shakers from the pedal universe which we think are worthy of your consideration, plus pedal wrangling tips and insight from our experts. Elsewhere we talk to Tom Petty sideman Mike Campbell and chat with Brian May about his new signature Gibson 12-string. Enjoy!
