--- Quote from: bucky_2300 ---Preamps are for pussies. REAL men use effect pedals. And not those girly-man Danelectro pedals either. Boss pedals. Those things are built like tanks. Except for wah, where real men use Jim Dunlop Crybaby wahs.

Oh my god.  Frickin' soulmates, man.

I've got me:
Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustain
Boss DD-3 Digital Delay
Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz
Dunlop Crybaby (Standard version)

Tartar Martyr:
You can do a lot of fun things with effects pedals.  You can spend as much or as little as you want on them.  If you are not careful, they can become an addiction.  They are definitely better than a pussy pre-amp, unless you buy some crap dano-mini or other low end trash.  

My collection includes the following:

zvex fuzz factory
zvex Machine
zvex trem probe
Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress
Moog Ring mod
Moog MURF
Boss DM-3 Analog Delay
Boss DD-20 delay modeler
DOD fx90 analog delay

I have been rolling over various pedals for awhile.  My preferance of pedals evolves, just like my preferance of music.  With the current chain I can forge a huge variety of sounds, from basic guitar rock tones to interstellar combat sounds.  Sometimes I just want some balls out in your face rock, other times I don't want my guitar to sound like a guitar.  This set up works perfectly for that.

I don't know what you are looking for in effects, but if you just want a nice gritty fuzz/overdrive I would recommend an American manufactured Big Muff Pi made by Electro-harmonix.

SuperSUGA:
Real men use Big Muffs.

If you're not sure about which effects you'd be interested in, I'd reccomend getting your hands on a multi-fx pedal. The effects aren't as good as you'd get from a dedicated stompbox, but you get a load of them to play around with, and by the time you've decide which ones you like you'll have saved up more money to buy the real things.

I liked my Zoom505II back when I was super-beginner, but I personally reccomend the Boss ME-50 if you can afford it. It's got a great variety of effects and has the best interface of any multifx pedal I've ever used. Lots of knobs to turn and no confusing LED cycling! Yay!

Give me things I can tweak and I'm happy...

EDIT: Oh, and ROCK. Nothing beats that.

negative creep:
i'd use a big muff, if i had the money to buy one. but i don't, so i bought a danelectro pedal. well.. it hasn't arrived yet, so i can't say anything about it. looks funny though.
