sunday is my birthday and my parents are bringing down to guitar center to get some goodies. Ive always wanted to get a nice guitar pedal or something. What do you think I should get?

what type of music do you play?

metal

also 80s rock

Metal Muff is a great distortion. Really, play one and see how deep and tweakable it is. I use it for pretty much everything I do, thrash, death metal etc, and when you roll back the distortion to about a 9'o clock then you got a nice bluesy clean distortion.

What do you already have from gear?

Happy B-day tomorow then! If you're new to any effect, a multi FX is great fun. If you are a bit more experienced with it, I can't help you I'm not realy an effect expert myself

If you need distortion, my two fave pedals are the Tube Screamer (Ibanez) and Marshalls Govner, a Cry Baby Wah is nice too in my opinion.

Happy birthday today!!

happy birthday sigma7.. if you dont have any pedal i think you need the 3 important pedals
Delay/chorus/distortion or over drive from boss.
