What kind of an effects pedal duplicates a 12 string?

---

---

I want to buy an effects pedal that can duplicate a 12 string, not just an accoustic, but a 12 string. Can anyone tell me what is the best brand out there?

Try using a Chorus effect. If you get one with a stereo output, it almost sounds like two guitars. Boss has several chorus effect pedals and even an enhancer and accoustic pedal. The enhancer and accoustic pedals just gives the electric guitar a brighter and more intone sounding output, but doesn't quite duplicate a 12 string, even though it says so. Their chorus pedal def duplicates the 12 string sound, but you need to play with it to see how much you want and dep. Try it out at a store and make your own choice.

What's better - multi effect guitar pedals or single effect pedals?

I can remember even having this argument with my brother. I always said that I would much rather buy a single effect pedal over a multi pedal effect board any day, and our debating went round and round. So what are the perks of each one and which route is right for the every day guitarist consumer?

A single effect pedal has its rewards in the fact that they are typically of high quality, can be modeled after a famous guitar players set up, and have an exclusive sound, effect, or tone. The bad thing about them is the mullah. Single effect pedals can cost a fortune. The other bad part, and this is very common, is that people often grow instantly tired of their new effect pedal, and never use it again. Swooosh! two hundred dollars of fine craftmanship out the window.

Multi pedal effect boards have their pros and cons too. The good parts about them is that they can be very cheap, sometimes less than a hundred dollars, and that these multi effect pedals can sport a large array of sounds. The bad news is that a lot of these sounds are just garbage and useless as some of them are over the top. The good news once again is that multi pedal effect technology has improved, or at least been taken more seriously, and now most of the effects sound pretty awesome.

Another good thing about the multi effects is that you can have plenty to work with to mix and match and create your own tone. These boards are also good for freeing up space, and are excellent for cable manageament.

I look at effect pedals as candy bars. They all have distinct packaging, and if you've never tried a certain cany bar before, then you're going to be curious about it. Pedals unfortunately are designed to visually make your mouth water, and not necesarilly
perform. So if your curiousity is driving you to make that choice, why not do it with a multi effect pedal board? This way, you can be guaranteed that you will walk away with at least twenty or so effects that you do like, and you may discover great combinations in the future.

What I really like about the multi boards is that it feels good and empowering, by arming you with the effects resources of a small studio, so in the long run your cup is quite full.

No effect can work without your willingness to learn and master guitar playing. Learning and mastering guitar and having a good sound are a must, and it starts with the choice to learn and master guitar in every possible way.
