Don't laugh, I'm a guitar newbie. I play a Fender Strat into a Marshall MG15DFX 15 watt. I want to buy (or build )effects pedals. I've been told that to connect pedals I need an additional input jack socket for this purpose, which my amp doesn't have.

Do effect pedals work buy connecting directly into the usual input socket ie guitar>pedal>input of amp? I know this may be obvious to you all, but I don't want to waste cash if the amp don't do the job!!! :confused:

yep that'll do it !!

Plug the guitar into the input of the pedal and the output of the pedal into the input of the amp.

Sorted !

Many thanks for that!

I've found a cracking site covering projects on effects pedals, so I'm going to have a bash at making one!
