Hey guys,

I am outfitting my garage with gear for jam sessions and eventually for my kids to play if they so choose.

Need recommendations on the following:
- A decent distortion pedal for under $100. Under $50 would be even better. I would prefer one that has power plug as opposed to battery only.
- To a lesser extent, an electric guitar amp. Can you plug two guitars into an amp at once? Would likely buy this used.
- Thoughts on this bass? https://m.glarrymusic.com/glarry-ib-bas ... -p175.html

This is not for performance or recording, just for fun at home. I want stuff that works and sounds halfway decent. Thanks!

Don't plug 2 guitars into one amp. Amazon has some sub $50 pedals that'll do just fine for what you need.

Too many pedals to choose from and I don’t speak the language, that’s why I need a recommendation :D

What am i to clean my 52 butterscotch blonde with maple neck tele with?

Ive read that the maple necks don't take well to that lemon oil you can put on rosewood.

Just a little elbow grease?

I would advise against alcohol.

I think it would dissolve/melt the nitrocellulose finish.

Would probably be fine on a polyurethane (or polyester) finished guitar, but your Telecaster is definitely nitro.
