In this lesson we teach how to create a bed of sound or textures using the delay effect. This is very much in the style of The Edge from the band U2.

I inherited a guitar effects processor Boss GT-6 but have no manual. Does anyone know how to save/program my selection?
Also, any cool tips about what this baby can do??

I get the point of the pre-amp and power amp. But I have no idea where the effects loop comes in there, and how people can run 2 or more loops. 
I also would like to know the significance of rack gear. Is it essentially the same as pedals on a pedalboard or what? Someone, please help a dumb guitar player. XD
An effects loop is an a set of send/return jacks that allows you to insert various effects between the pre-amp and power amp sections of the amplifier circuit.
FX loops are most commonly used to apply time based effects (like phaser, flanger, delay, or reverb) to your sound while using the amp’s built-in distortion. Try throwing a reverb pedal on the floor while cranking the distortion on your amp… it will sound terrible. The FX loop lets you avoid that unpleasantness.
Check out this article on FX placement:

Basically, anything in those last two categories belongs in the FX loop.
Some amps have wet/dry controls for the FX loop as well. You can either hear the just the sound through the FX loop, just the sound without the FX loop, or a mix.
Rack gear is typically much higher quality than pedals (it’s also WAY more expensive). Pedals have several bonuses though. They’re portable, can be battery powered, and they’re right there in front of you on stage. If you want to change your sound, you can do it right there. Rack gear is better suited to the studio.
i have a mesa dual rectifier half stack and i need guitar effects like delay reverb, volume pedal, and maybe more and i was wondering what i could use for the best price or cheapest price cause i dont really have quite a whole lot of money but money isnt the issue?
Go with Boss pedals because they are truly the leading industry in pedals (after all they made the first multi-effects pedal and they are owned by Roland which is a Japanese founded company). The boss gt-10 has gotten nothing but 5 star reviews and has lots of excellent effects and sounds for rock and metal (which is what you want if you have a mesa).
http://www.sourceaudio.net The Sound Blox Classic distortion modeler is very cool! I like the noise gate a lot. Would be very handy in the studio for stacking rhythm tracks without all the hiss fizz and noise. The pedal has tributes to all the classic stompboxes like the ProCo Rat, Tubescreamer, Big Muff Pi, Tone Bender MK II, Dallas Arbiter Fuzzface, Marshall and Boogie preamp tones, and more. Also has 6 presets and a graphic EQ…all in all, and very handy tool!

http://www.lovepedal.com the Purple Plexi-800 from Love Pedal is a sweet, high gain, marshall style overdrive. Very cool for what it is…simple and rockin! I used a Gibson SG and a Dr Z MAZ 18 210 combo amplifier for the review.

What would be best for me to get for guitar effects, which is reasonably priced because I am not a pro I just like playing for fun. I would just play direct into what ever I get and plug headphones directly in since I cannot make a lot of noise where I live.
I would suggest a good multi effects pedal like the zoomG1X It has a multitude of good sounding effects, a headphone output, and many other useful features and costs about as much as a single pedal (I got one for $80). I am a professional musician and instructor and I use this pedal quite a bit for basic jam sessions, recording, rehearsal, etc.
Dale Keating from Digitech shows us the RP500 Multi Effects Pedal.
Check it out at our online store.

http://www.line6.com The M-9 multiple stomp-box modeling pedal is ultra useful…ya just gotta spend a few minutes with it to get familiar with the territory. I thank my stunt guitarist, Trickitty Lickitty for stepping up to the task so that I could tweak the knobbies.
