Is it in the amplifier itself or do you need a distortion or wah pedal?

Some amplifiers come with distortion effects - but they are rudimentery at best.

The best thing is to get either both the wah wah & distortion pedals or to get a multifects pedal (which is more expensive but also comes with a host of other effects like chorus, digital delay, metronome, etc)

Every modern Amp has a type of distortion called "over drive" it is also called a 2ND Chanel. It is a type of boost of volume that causes your guitar tone to distort. A wah is only in pedal form (built into some Amps Check out Line 6 amps). It is a pedal that cancels out all frequencies but a select one. You then control this with a pedal moving the frequency up and down giving it a "wah" type sound.

usually the amps with built in effects are crap....i go with pedals...(stomp boxes)...the multi effects units suck...for example i have a boss metal zone for distortion, an old D.O.D. flanger, a boss chorus and a morley wah that i hardly use..some say a daisy chain of pedals is cumbersome...but its the simplest way to go and ya can always add or remove effects to the flavor of the day...never hurts to have a box full of pedals...i have 40 that im always friggin with
