Need to have every possibly delay/echo option in one pedal? Well the DD-20 is that.

Nothing else to say other than this is by far my most used pedal and can be used to do just about everything you need other than use delay whilst looping. It can still loop though.

It is a phenomenal pedal that was worth every cent. If you are feeling wealthy, I would suggest getting it's older brother (the DD-500), but if you want something a bit cheaper that will still beat mostly everything else on market, then get the DD-20.

An essential if you're starting out guitar.

The route 66 is two phenomenal pedals all in one; An always-on tone control pedal to allow you to fully customize what sound that you want out of it and then a drive. The drive can be dialed all the way down to allow for a soft-fuzz on strum or you can crank the drive all the way up to get a real rock-star thrill.

It includes a tone control switch to add some compression as well as a bass-boost if you feel that no matter what you do, your tone is too bright.

What more do you want? Its tiny and its a good Wah pedal!

The Wahter does what it needs to in a tiny compact body. I love it. It has 3 different options which can be engaged by holding the pressure-pad down whilst plugging it in. These options allow for it be used standardly, for you to move the pedal and it remains active in the position that you leave it and the third one I am not sure on because I have yet to use it yet).

The pressure-pads allow for a quick activation of the pedal when simply placing your foot down to use it and the effect will turn off when your foot is off the pedal. Incredibly convenient and sounds great!

(Try using it whilst muting the strings for extra coolness)

Powerful distortion with little customisability.

The solo drive can be used to play lead riffs beautifully and very well. It can handle being played for a metal tone if it has to but not perfectly. The three tonality options it has (Tight, Natural and Classic) don't change the sound enough for it to be a selling point.

If you need a distortion on a budget, you can get this if you want massive power for lead riffs. But if you want something that gives you lots of versatility, rather get the Hustle Drive.

Want a tiny pedal that can take you from Country rock to Metal and everything in between? Get the Hustle Drive!

The Hustle Drive should not be priced as cheaply as it is. Out of every Mooer micro-series pedal, few offer such dynamic range as the Hustle Drive. I use it for church music all the way through to Metallica. This pedal is the definition of dynamite comes in small packages.

It has two settings: LP and HP (I assume it's Low Power and High Power, respectively). These two settings change the tone significantly from a warm drive (LP) to a powerfully bright distortion (HP).

EVERY guitarist should get this pedal, rich OR poor.

On a budget? Get the Green Mile

Green Mile is a straight-forward clone of the Ibanez Tube Screamer. It has little tonality options in-comparison to higher-end drive pedals but for the price, it is amazing. It has a warm and hot setting that changes the warm tone into a power, distortion-like drive.

This pedal packs a punch.

Excellent for anything from blues to jazz to rock to metal.

The Fender Telecaster is a staple guitar and slowly gaining popularity in the modern day with the revelation that it stores enough attack to be an excellent choice in Post-Hardcore metal bands, whereas it was usually only perceived to be a more Blues, Jazz or alternative-rock type of guitar.

It has a brilliant bright tone (too bright if you're sporting 9 gauge strings but beautiful at 10 and up). The Tele can do everything you need it to.
