I am getting a new guitar and either a new amp or effects pedal. For now i will mostly be using it for guitar covers and i see that alot of people use multi effects pedals. How do they work, can i plug it into my amp (fender 15w frontman) and/or my computer? or should i get an amp? most likely a 30w marshall, vox or line 6


Answer
They basically work the same as any other single effect pedal. The latest ones (Pod HD500, Digitech RP1000 for eg), also come with amp modelling software, along with a massive amount of effects. You will find that ultimately you will only use a few of them, but the choice is yours.
They are all digital, but some are powered by tubes (Vox). I dont think this makes a huge difference in sound.
I use the digitech Rp500 through a fender twin (tube amp), and it sounds great. The big bonus with this pedal is the ability to turn off the modelling, and just let the rp500 work as a pedal board. Classic effects like Univibe, Chorus, Fuzz, etc.. all sound fantastic.
You can run most of them through a computer for recording, etc..
