No blues guitarist is complete without a trusty Blues Driver pedal, such as the new BD-2 from BOSS.

Lekato Electric Guitar Looper Pedal
The hottest pedals on Amazon these days are looper pedals, and it makes sense. If you can only have one pedal, then surely a looper is the one you want. By allowing guitarists to repeat phrases that they have already played, a looper pedal, such as the new Lekato, essentially makes it so that a single guitarist can play an entire song without needing the accompanying band. This particular pedal features a 5-minute pedal loop, overdubs, and a USB input, making it a great first looper pedal for beginners or a welcome addition to the pedalboard of a world-class rockstar.

Caline CP-12 Pure Sky Clean Overdrive Pedal
Some songs have heavy melodies but then incorporate clean sections, and that’s where a clean overdrive pedal can really come in handy. The new Caline CP-12 Pure Sky handles the task with poise. Featuring True Bypass and controls for volume, gain, treble, and bass, this is one of the best clean overdrive pedals available anywhere. The versatility of the CP-12 big sky makes it well suited for use as a secondary EQ also, so this is really a fantastic value pedal for the money.

JHS Clover Pre-Amp Boost Pedal
The JHS Clover is the be-all-end-all of pre-amp boost pedals. The advanced integrated EQ simply doesn’t allow bad sound. The amp is particularly well suited for Stratocaster and Telecaster and can deliver a high-powered punch, along with improved depth and dynamics to Fender electric guitars. The pedal features Mid, Bass, Treble, Full-EQ, No-Mids, and no-EQ settings, allowing for the guitarist to tweak their sound until it’s just right for the type of music they want to play.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah Pedal
This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the Cry Baby, Dunlop’s signature wah pedal. Now available as part of a bundle on Amazon, the Cry Baby features a super-duty die-cast construction and a 100K Ohm Hot Potz Potentiometer. Used by everyone from Clapton to Hendrix, the Cry Baby has been the only name in wah pedals for almost 70 years. If you are looking to add a wah pedal to your board, it would be a mistake to go with any other pedal.
