If your amp doesn’t have reverb, a reverb pedal should be on your list. You’ll want some form of gain boost - overdrive, fuzz or multi efffect, distortion - but which one or ones will depend on the sounds you want to get. Beyond that, you don’t need other pedals, but they’re fun to play with. A chorus pedal is nice to have. For some kinds of music, a tremolo pedal is useful.

As a beginner, you should be aware that pedals, especially distortion pedals, can hide problems in your technique. Don’t use this as a crutch. It will hurt your development as a player.

It’s tempting to throw a lot of pedals into the signal chain, but whatever you use, take the time to thoroughly understand the effect of each and every knob and switch between your fingers and the speaker.
