Guitar effects are electronic devices that modify the tone, pitch, or sound of an electric guitar, or condition or reroute the signal in some fashion. Effects can be housed in small effects pedals (”stomp boxes”), guitar amplifiers, guitar amplifier simulation software, and in rackmount preamplifiers or processors. Electronic effects and signal processing form an important part of the electric guitar tone used in many genres, such as rock, pop, blues, and metal. Guitar effects are also used with other instruments in these genres, such as electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Electric bass players use bass effects, which are designed to work with low-frequency tones of the bass.
We’ll cover Boss effects pedals, multi-effects pedals, distortion, overdrive, compressor, chorus and delay as well as tube effects and some of the less conventional processors.
