UAFX Pedals Playbook
He course appears to be geared towards specific pedals , although the settings can be used with similar pedals. Probably my fault as I was looking more for a course on what to include when making a pedal board, what order to put the pedals in, etc. I will use the course later.

An amazing review
Even tho I haven't watched the full course, I think it is amazing and for someone that's looking for some awesome Modulation pedals and some tricks to really know how to dial them up it's just amazing, made me really want to buy a really nice reverb, it just transports you into another Dimension, love that they give you every setting of the pedals and amplifier, that way you don't have to really make a mess on your head in order to make the pedal sound really good, amazing Review, really recommend this if you want to have Info of Modulation pedals and want something good in your pedalboard
