im new to the guitar and threre seems to be a lot of expensive gear that i have no clue what it does, is there a site that explains pedals, recording, drum machines and all that? also, i was just wondering, i havent really gotten the distortion i wanted from my stuff that i have, should i look at distortion pedals or are those just for amps that don't have distortion? or should i look to replace the pickups? i don't mind spending the money because i know im going to stick with it.
